“And Just Like That” and The Morning Show” star Karen Pittman is adding to her stacked TV slate by joining Mara Brock Akil’s “Forever” alongside “The Wire” alum and “Creed” franchise stalwart Wood Harris.
Brock Akil’s highly-anticipated adaptation of Judy Blum’s 1975 Judy Blume novel “Forever” was originally ordered at Netflix in 2022 under the “Girlfriends” creator’s overall deal.
Last month, Lovie Simone and Michael Cooper Jr. were announced to star in the series, described as “an epic love story of two Black teens (Keisha and Justin) exploring romance and their identities through the awkward journey of being each other’s firsts, set in Los Angeles, 2018.”
Pittman and Harris play Justin’s parents Dawn and Eric, who are navigating parenting during a time of heightened awareness around the lack of safety for Black boys in America.

Today, NBC executives crossed their fingers and unveiled a shuffled midseason schedule that is sure to upset loyal fans of its cult comedy series “Community.” (Link to full line-up.)
The series has been benched for at least January through March, but not cancelled, and may return much later in the season. Unfortunately, its chances of being renewed for a fourth season seem especially grim now, and many have begun to make comparisons to gone-too-soon show ”Arrested Development.” (Does this mean in a few years we’ll keep hearing about a “Community” reunion movie that never happens?)
The sliding “Whitney,” that oddly-placed laugh track comedy with no laughs on Thursday nights, will move to Wednesdays at 8pm Est, where it will be too racy for families. Brilliant. At least that show will be gone next year, another failed experiment for the Peacock.
