Simone and Damon will be back for the 2022-23 television season. The CW has renewed All American: Homecoming for a second year. The first season finale airs on May 23rd.
A sports drama series, the All American: Homecoming TV show is a spin-off of the All American series. It stars Geffri Maya, Peyton Alex Smith, Kelly Jenrette, Cory Hardrict, Sylvester Powell, Camille Hyde, Mitchell Edwards, and Netta Walker. Set against the backdrop of the highly competitive HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) experience at Bringston University, the story revolves around two young talented athletes and students. Simone Hicks (Maya) is a young tennis hopeful from Beverly Hills who is trying to fight her way back to greatness after some time away from the court. Meanwhile, Damon Sims (Smith) is an elite baseball player from Chicago who is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. As they contend with the high stakes of college sports, Simone and Damon also navigate the highs, lows, and sexiness of unsupervised early adulthood at a prestigious HBCU.

What do you think? Have you been watching the All American: Homecoming series on The CW? Are you glad that this drama has been renewed for a second season?
I like and look forward to watching Homecoming. It’s like a modern day, drama version of “Different World”, which found me watching it weekly. I love the sports-based HBCU focus of the show. I’d miss it if it were cancelled.
Homecoming needs to go away!
So the spinoff nobody asked for is the one thing that survives the CW bloodbath??
