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?
It is so annoying when prime cancels a good show with and interesting concept and leaves you hanging. Forever cries deserve to at least of had on more season you people never give the show a chance to catch on you did it with other shows the viewer who by the way pay for this service deserve better.
Next time I will check before watching any “series” on Amazon, I really liked this show and am very disappointed Amazon canceled it. I won’t be putting any more effort into watching any more series shows on Amazon.
Yes I would have watched a second series. It was subtle, quirky and funny. I’m really disappointed this isn’t being continued.
YES
This is the third TV series in a row I have watched on Prime that has been cancelled prematurely. You get invested in a great story and characters and then they just shut it down!
The worst part is, there are so many programmes that are tacky, rubbish aimed at teenagers that have series after series made of them. Don’t they know that it’s adults that are paying the subscription? Netflix are the same.
Sticking to films only from now on.
I agree.
Please give us a season 2! I really got into this show!
It’s a great show, thinking outside the box with a great sense of humor and big heart. Would love to see a season 2!
This show is so well done that it deserves to go on forever!
Loved this show forever..all characters…I want more more more
I was looking forward to seeing what was going to happen. So disappointed
It was really growing on me after the first few episodes. I would definitely watch season 2 if they were to resume production.
Loved this first season so much and started to look for season 2 premier dates. Super bummed to see it was cancelled. Really hoping another, maybe smaller streaming platform makes it accessible for those supporting the show.
Absolutely loved it. A very witty comedy. Can’t believe it was canceled. It’s maybe too obscure for the average person & imo there’s enough average television.
Had ups and downs, even a bit irritating sometimes, but for sure it made all of us reframe our afterlife horizons…
I was soooo hoping to find season 2, only to find out it was cancelled. That is a big bummer and a mistake on the part of Amazon…. But with today’s social unrest I can see possably why with outside pressure they cancelled it… still a bummer!
