Karen Pittman knows this Judy Blume classic is going to be loved forever.
Approximately a month following Netflix’s release of the trailer for the upcoming series “Forever,” the actress gave insights into what viewers can anticipate from the first romantic story between characters Justin Edwards, portrayed by Michael Cooper Jr., and Keisha Clark, played by Lovie Simone.
As I graced the red carpet at the 2025 SAG Awards on February 23rd, I shared with Will Marfuggi from TopMob News an insightful take on an upcoming film. This story isn’t just about two young individuals discovering love; it’s a journey that delves into their growth and understanding of love itself. It’s a tale woven around families, demonstrating the profound love we hold for one another and the transformation parents undergo as they watch their children embark on their own life adventures. (Catch all the star-studded moments here.)
The series chronicles the love story of Justin and Keisha set in Los Angeles during 2018. Interestingly, the actress portraying Justin’s mother Dawn, aged 38, acknowledged that she hadn’t fully grasped the novel’s steaminess when she read it years ago, saying, “Back then, I didn’t quite understand how risqué it was.
After watching eight episodes on Netflix, she jokingly commented, “You know, I’m wondering if this show is appropriate for my kids. It might be a bit too hot.
Nevertheless, Karen is convinced that Mara Brock Akil’s newest venture will win many hearts. In her own words, “I believe everyone will truly appreciate it.
For Mara, reimagining the beloved classic has been a dream come true.
The writer expressed that Judy Blume’s talent for portraying authentic emotions during adolescent milestones significantly impacted their life path and writing style. They are overjoyed to collaborate with a cherished childhood figure, aiming to share a story on Netflix – where the concept of first love being eternal through the perspective of Black romance – is brought to life.
While we anticipate further news about “Forever”, here’s a glimpse at the star-studded attendees of the 2025 SAG Awards for your perusal.
