Producer\/Director Allison Vanore said, \u201cWe knew we couldn\u2019t film Season 3 as intended, with integrity, and we certainly didn\u2019t want to put anyone at risk. In the meantime, we\u2019re thrilled we could do something creative to keep our After Forever<\/em><\/strong> family and fans engaged.\u201d The producers plan to resume production on Season 3 once it\u2019s safe to do so in late 2021.<\/p>\n The special also debuts Finn Douglas\u2019 song: \u201cForever There\u201d which he wrote and performed. Kevin Spirtas shared, \u201cMichael [Slade] and I have always been a fan of Finn\u2019s musical talents and Finn so embodies the character that we thought it would be great to give him an opportunity to write a song for the special. We couldn\u2019t be more thrilled with the result.\u201d<\/p>\n The cast includes familiar faces from the series: Kevin Spirtas (2019 & 2020 Emmy Winner), Mitchell Anderson (2019 Emmy Nominee), David Dean Bottrell, Erin Cherry (2019 Emmy Winner), Finn Douglas, Anita Gillette (2019 Emmy Nominee), Christopher J.
