Forever’s Karen Pittman Teases “Spicy” Judy Blume Adaptation

Karen Pittman knows this Judy Blume classic is going to be loved forever.

One month after Netflix dropped the trailer for its upcoming series Forever, the actress shared what fans can expect in the first love story of Justin Edwards (Michael Cooper Jr.) and Keisha Clark (Lovie Simone).

“It’s a coming-of-age story about these two young kids who are learning how to be in love,” Karen told E! News’ Will Marfuggi on the 2025 SAG Awards red carpet Feb. 23. “It’s about families, the love that we share with each other and how parents get raised up in the process of letting their children go out into the world.” (See all the stars on the red carpet here.)

The show follows the story of Justin and Keisha in 2018 Los Angeles as they experience the ups and downs of a young romance. Despite reading the 1975 novel that inspired the series when she was younger, the 38-year-old—who stars as Justin’s mom Dawn—admitted, “At the time, I didn’t realize how spicy it was.”
