There’s no final streaming release date for this set yet, but it’s expected sometime in the first half of 2025. Judy Blume’s groundbreaking 1975 novel, Forever…, is being reimagined for a modern generation by Mara Brock Akil. This looks good so far. It’s an epic love story of two Black teens exploring romance and their identities through the awkward journey of being each other’s firsts, set in Los Angeles, 2018. Another story set just before the pandemic. This “epic Black romance story” stars Lovie Simone as Keisha and Michael Cooper Jr. as Justin, along with Karen Pittman, Wood Harris, Xosha Roquemore, Marvin Winans III, Niles Fitch, Barry Shabaka Henley, Ali Gallo, Adriyan Rae, Paigion Walker, Xavier Mills, and E’myri Crutchfield.
