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?
This is the most exciting topic for a tv show full of my favorite actors, beauty, hilarity, depth, symbolism, sweetness, & thought provoking writing. Just found it, watch all episodes, and cannot wait for more with questions in tow…like where will they be, where will their consciousness exist if they become invisible from no fountain or beach to recharge in time. Why does the Camero-crashed 70’s kid never entertain the idea to seek travelling beyond the town and mysteries of what else is there? Why is the train loving kid thought to be a wise one? And there’s so much… Read more »
Sorry to see this is cancelled. We enjoyed it
I really enjoyed this show. Very Very disappointed…..
Sad! I loved this show and was really hoping for a second season!
My wife and I liked it a lot. It was interesting, funny, and Fred/Maya have great chemistry. It should have been renewed. We would have watched more for sure.
I loved Forever, so naturally, a smart comedy gets cancelled. If it doesn’t suit the MASSES, they won’t produce a 2nd season. So the intelligent people who enjoy a little telly have to search on once again.
Once again proving tv execs have no idea what they’re doing. Forever was on the road to being a great show. Amazon really dropped the ball here and with Patriot. I mean The man in the high castle for 4 seasons? Really?
I love this series and am disappointed there was only one season.
I am also disappointed it was cancelled. It was very original with a great premise. It really grew on me.
Please bring it back!! I thought it was great and actually rewatched some episodes to catch what I may have missed.
Ugh, this show was perfectly comical and had a great cast. I hope another channel picks it up, it has so much potential.
This is a great series with good writing and excellent acting / I really wish it would be renewed
I freaking loved this show, if Amazon won’t do a second season I really hope someone else will.
Just watched Forever Season 1 and loved it. Really wish it was continuing.
I really loved “Forever”! It was so clever and unique. I can’t believe it was cancelled! Such a shame.
