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 also wish there was a season 2.
I was totally into this show. I was happy they got back together and was anxious to see what happened. The writing was excellent. It shouldn’t have been cancelled.
I HATE YOU for this cancelation! WHY WHY WHY!!! This was SO GOOD. Now you just left a lot of open holes. I want to cancel my PRIME.
I’m very disappointed. I loved the show, and was anxious to see what happened after the season 1 finale.
Seriously? That’s a shame. The show was well done and different. There needs to be a second season to resolve the story at least.
I loved that show! I was really anticipating a second season. It was a great new and original concept, which is very rare these days. all the other shows are reboots and remakes and spin-offs. I think canceling “Forever” was a really foolish move on Amazon’s part.
Not sure why not a season 2 it was a great show totally different concept ..
GREAT SHOW WISH IT WOULD COME BACK.
Wish there was a season 2..
Bad and sad decision,
we loved this show and were very disappointed that season 2 was cancelled
I can’t comprehend how a show of such originality could be cancelled. It was amusing and thought provoking. I miss it and would definitely like to see another season.
Loved the show, surprised at the decision of not doing season 2
We loved Forever, and were anxious for S2!!
I loved forever. Please consider returning for season 2
