Nothing lasts forever and, in the case of TV series, most don’t even make it to a second season. Today, it was revealed that Amazon had cancelled the Forever TV show after one season of eight episodes.
A surreal dark comedy, Forever stars Maya Rudolph, Fred Armisen, Catherine Keener, Noah Robbins, Kym Whitley, Sharon Omi, Julia Ormond, Obba Babatundé, Peter Weller, Charles Emmett, and Cooper J. Friedman. The story follows June (Rudolph) and Oscar (Armisen), a couple who have been married for 12 years. When the sameness of their lives gets to June, she suggests they take a ski trip, which changes everything and lands them in completely unfamiliar territory.
Amazon gave Forever a straight-to-series order in September 2017. The first (and only) season was released in September of 2018 and received a 94% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
It’s unclear why Amazon decided not to order a second season of the series but the streaming service rarely releases any viewership data unless a series has performed much better than expected. Amazon has been quiet about this show since it debuted.
What do you think? Did you watch the Forever TV show? Would you have watched a second season? Should it have been cancelled?
I absolutely loved this series.I would like to hear a ” Never say never,on a continuation of some sort with this couple and ” love it” dry humor that makes you think”. I would love to see more!
Predictably cancelled. Would have been a fun show to track for the “have brain but watch TV” crowd. Still very nice as a stand-alone, so thanks to the creators.
Cancelled because it’s not about super heroes or blowing stuff up? Great show. Let’s cater to people who like stuff that stimulates thought for once.
They also cancelled Patriot after 2 seasons. Another highly rated show. Making it clear to not get emotionally invested with anything Amazon produces.
I would definitely want a second season of Forever. It’s a fantastic show which illustrated real life.
Yes -Season 2 please!
Why would they do this?! Someone do something! All the revelation type shows are getting canned…
Omg nooooo!! We need season 2!!
