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 was really looking forward to a second season. I loved this show!!
Just finished Season 1, it is so good!! I loved this series. I hope they release a Season 2, we need it! Maya Rudolph and Fred Armisen are just so great together. Even tho the plot had some rough edges and didn’t seem fully “flushed” out, it was still a unique and compelling idea. Season 1 leaves us on a cliffhanger and
WE MUST HAVE A SEASON 2.
Please please please please I hope they don’t leave us like this.
I loved Forever! I watched the whole series twice. Once when it came out and just recently because I loved it so much, anticipating a second season soon. Then I looked it up and it’s been cancelled! I miss June and Oscar. I want to know where they ended up! Their story is not over! Come on Amazon! If you don’t renew it hopefully Netflix will grab it! PLEASE!!!
I just finished season 1 and am extremely upset the show was cancelled!!
Please, please, please bring on Season 2 of Forever. Great series…
YES I was waiting for the second season toair. I’m disappointed indeed
Please say it isn’t so I watched 1st season and checked to see when 2nd season was coming out and got the bad news, please bring us season 2 I want to see what they found after walking across the ocean floor!!
Okay Amazon… BRING IT BACK
Just finished Season 1 – Love This Series
Was So Looking Forward to Season 2
Very Unique – Nothing Like It
Leaves One to Contemplate
Difficult to explain why such a quirky series has pulled us all in…
SO… JUST BECAUSE!
BECAUSE WE LOVE IT!!!
PLEASE BRING US SEASON TWO!!! I miss the characters already 🙁
Say it’s not so! I love the quirky characters of “Forever”.
Give it another chance! It was finally something unique with good acting and plenty of possibility! Wonderfully creative. Bring it back!
I love Forever! Get it renewed Amazon! Netflix get this gem if Amazon doesn’t.
I just finished 1st season in two days ok ! And I loved it i usually don’t enjoy series much unless it’s very well done and I rarely would hope I get to see the season 2 any chance amazon ? I only have amazon prime video and I’m pretty limited . Watching second season would be wonderful.
I’m so disappointed. Amazon is constantly running the preview I finally cave, get hooked and discover it’s cancelled!
I am so sad! Just finished the 1st season was so looking forward to a second ! BRING IT BACK!!
I loved forever. So looking forward to the second season. Amazon, I think you made a mistake. The show was creative and really funny. Wish you would re -think it. Really was a winner.
It doesn’t need to come back because season 1 was very well self contained with an end that wrapped the premise up nicely in a neat bow.
I felt the opposite. I want to know what they find after walking out of the ocean.
