What’s This TV Show About?
A sports drama series airing on The CW television network, the All American TV show stars Daniel Ezra, Michael Evans Behling, Samantha Logan, Greta Onieogou, Bre-Z, Chelsea Tavares, Cody Christian, Monét Mazur, and Karimah Westbrook. Inspired by the life of NFL player Spencer Paysinger, the story centers on Spencer James (Ezra), a former high school football player and an A student who left Compton’s South Crenshaw High for Beverly Hills High. Season six picks up after a time jump, and Spencer (Ezra) and his friends are in new chapters of their lives. Now juniors at GAU, Spencer and Jordan (Behling) are officially eligible to enter the NFL draft, placing Spencer, especially, at the center of the media spotlight. Egos soon clash when a new addition joins the GAU coaching staff and shifts the team dynamics. Olivia (Logan) returns to L.A., changed by her time in London and invigorated by a new project to honor her father’s legacy. After being apart, Spencer and Olivia try to reconnect. Layla (Onieogou) adds “club owner” to her impressive list of titles. While still happily engaged to Jordan, she faces growing pressures that test their relationship and her mental health. Coop (Bre-Z) flexes her legal muscles while faithfully supporting Patience (Tavares) through her healing journey. Patience prepares for a looming legal battle against the superfan who attacked her. Asher (Christian) navigates life as a new parent, while Laura (Mazur) settles into the next stage of her personal and professional life. And through it all, Grace (Westbrook) remains a constant anchor for Spencer and everyone else when they need her the most while dealing with her sons growing up too fast. Together, the group discovers that, even in their most challenging moments, the best path forward is to seize today and lean on each other.
Season Six Ratings
The sixth season of All American averaged a 0.09 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 397,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season five, that’s down by 38% in the demo and down by 18% in viewership. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but the higher-rated series are usually renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how All American stacks up against other The CW TV shows.
All American has been renewed for a seventh season, which will debut (TBD). Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will The CW cancel or renew All American for season seven? The network has indicated there are no plans to cancel this veteran series, but I can’t help but be suspicious. The CW’s new management is focusing on airing low-cost and mainly acquired programming that costs the company less. I think there’s a very good chance All American will be renewed for 2024-25, but I wouldn’t be overly surprised if it were cancelled either. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
