Adriyan Rae Joins Cast Of Mara Brock Akil’s Upcoming Netflix Series ‘Forever’
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Adriyan Rae lands recurring role on Netflix’s Forever created by Mara Brock Akil. Forever is a reimagination of the 1975 novel by Judy Blume and follows the epic love story of two Black teens exploring their identities through the awkward — and moving — journey of being each other’s firsts in 2018 Los Angeles.
Like its inspiration, the show will examine “the idea of your first love being with you forever,” said Brock Akil, who created acclaimed stories of Black love and growth like sitcom Girlfriends and drama Being Mary Jane.
She was also a writer on the YA comedy Moesha. Oscar winner Regina King (One Night in Miami) will serve as executive producer and will direct the first episode.
Rae will portray Brittany, one of Keisha’s older cousins, and is described as a social climber who looks out for Keisha and her well-being like an older sister—even if she usually does it with a sarcastic sense of humor and blunt direct attitude.
