‘Forever’ Casts Xosha Roquemore & Marvin Lawrence Winans III As Series Regulars, 5 Set To Recur


Netflix has rounded out the cast for Forever, adding two series regulars and five recurring.

They are Barry Shabaka Henley ( A Star is Born), Ali Gallo ( Unhuman), Niles Fitch ( This is Us), Paigion Walker ( All American) and E’myri Crutchfield ( Fargo). A reimagining of Judy Blume’s influential — and controversial — 1975 novel Forever… for a new generation, the series adaptation tells the epic love story of two Black teens, Keisha Clark (Simone) and Justin Edwards (Cooper Jr.) exploring romance and their identities through the awkward journey of being each other’s firsts, set in Los Angeles, 2018. Laid back and funny, Keisha’s grandfather, George, looks out for his granddaughter, acting as her surrogate father and protector — giving her advice and taking an active interest in her life.
