Who's joining the lawless fun in The Forever Purge? The premise of the Purge franchise is a rare example of a movie concept transcending into wider pop culture. Many who haven't even seen one of the four existing Purge movies will likely be familiar with the dystopian idea of all laws being cancelled one night a year so that America can let off some steam. Despite that immense cultural impact, The Purge movies have succumbed to the law of diminishing returns, with The Purge: Anarchy, The Purge: Election Year and The First Purge all falling short of the original.
Since the fourth movie was a prequel, The Forever Purge serves as a direct sequel to 2016's The Purge: Election Year, which saw the New Founding Fathers of America removed from power, and the Purge abolished along with them. The tradition makes a comeback in The Forever Purge, and some patriotic folk are keen to extend the festivities by staging their own event illegally - which brings us to The Forever Purge. Here are the (brand new) characters who'll make purging great again in The Forever Purge.
Ana de la Reguera - Adela
Ana de la Reguera has portrayed Paola in Jane the Virgin and Elisa in Narcos, but will likely be more familiar from her recent recruitment into Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead as Cruz. Having recovered from the zombie heist, de la Reguera is now playing Adela in The Forever Purge - a Mexican woman who escapes a drug cartel, only to find herself in even hotter, purg-ier water.
Tenoch Huerta - Juan
Like Ana de la Reguera, Tenoch Huerta has cartel history, appearing as Rafael in Narcos: Mexico. A storied actor in Spanish-language productions, The Forever Purge marks Huerta's first proper foray into Hollywood, but he's rumored to be lined up as Namor the Sub-Mariner in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Juan is Adela's partner, joining her in crossing the Mexican border to start a safer life in Texas. Predictably, that doesn't work out.
Will Patton as Caleb Tucker
The eldest of the Tucker clan and owner of the ranch Juan works on, Caleb is Dylan's father. Their relationship becomes strained as Caleb takes a deeper liking to Juan. The character is credited to Will Patton, a familiar face with a long resume that includes Armageddon, Gone In 60 Seconds, and the recent Halloween movies.
Josh Lucas - Dylan Tucker
The Forever Purge's Dylan Tucker is a Texan rancher who becomes the target of local Purgers' wrath and is forced to align with Adela and Juan, despite their vastly different backgrounds. Lucas has enjoyed a long movie career, with roles in American Psycho, Poseidon, J Edgar, and Ford v Ferrari.
Cassidy Freeman - Emma Kate Tucker
Dylan's pregnant wife, Emma Kate Tucker is forced to carry both herself and the couple's unborn child through a seemingly never-ending purge. Freeman is best known for playing Tess in Smallville season 8 onward, and has also starred in small screen projects Longmire and The Righteous Gemstones.
Leven Rambin as Harper Tucker
Another member of the Tucker family, Harper is Dylan's sister, described as a badass cowgirl with a more tolerant attitude compared to her brother. Actress, Leven Rambin, is known for portraying Glimmer in The Hunger Games and Clarisse in Percy Jackson. Away from YA fare, she recently starred in Gone and the award-winning Mank.
Other Characters In The Forever Purge
Jeffrey Doornbos - Elijah Hardin - Spotted in The Forever Purge trailer holding Adela and Juan captive and yelling at them to speak English. One of the Forever Purge leaders.
Will Brittain - Kirk - Dylan's lieutenant on the Tucker ranch and a big Purge fan. Will Brittain can be seen in Kong: Skull Island.
Susie Abromeit - Mrs. Hardin - Another Purger. Abromeit played Pam in Jessica Jones.
Sammi Rotibi - Darius - A survivor looking to escape the Purgers, teaming up with Adela and the ranchers. Rotibi may be familiar as General Amajagh in Batman v Superman.
Gregory Zaragoza - Chiago - Billed as a local Native American chieftain, Chiago aids the protagonist group. Appeared in The Last of the Mohicans.
Veronica Falcón - Lydia - The talented Veronica Falcón plays Camila in Ozark and Catherine in Why Women Kill.
Alejandro Edda - T.T. - Juan's ranch worker friend. Edda is El Chapo in Narcos: Mexico.
Joshua Dov - Dalton LeVay - Joshua Dov previously had a recurring role in The Hi Life.
Brett Edwards - Mercenary - Described as leading a mercenary force in The Forever Purge, Brett Edwards is a regular occupant of TV law enforcement roles.
Erin Dinsmore - Conor - Dinsmore has played various unsavory types in Agents of SHIELD, Better Call Saul, and more. That trend will likely continue in The Forever Purge.
