The network has revealed new information regarding All American’s creative makeover leading up to Season 7, which will function as a soft reboot with just a few original characters, even though the CW drama is currently on hiatus. Star Daniel Ezra, who was the first to declare (back in June) that he would not be a series regular for the seventh season, is not on the list of returnees.
Showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll stated in a statement at the time, “Working with Daniel Ezra to tell Spencer’s story over the last six seasons has been such an amazing, fulfilling experience.” “Daniel is a true gem who really enhanced the character both on and off the pitch. As we embark on a new and exciting chapter of All American, I’m thankful that Daniel will continue to play a significant role in this family both in front of and behind the camera, even if Spencer has realised his NFL aspirations. Now that Ezra isn’t a regular cast member, what will his role be? Which cast members are staying and which are departing? In the information roundup below, we have addressed all of those queries and more.
All American Season 7: What Is It About?
The CW’s long-running series will undergo a sort of reset in Season 7, returning to its beginnings at South Crenshaw High and Beverly Hills High. According to the official logline, “it’s the same heart, same NFL dream, same crosstown rivalry, same messy hormones,” brought forth by a new generation of L.A. teenagers, a new coach from Beverly, and our original Vortex family, who are shocked to learn that they are now expected to be the responsible adults.
Who Will Return for Season 7 of All American? Only three original All American cast members, Michael Evans Behling (Jordan), Greta Onieogou (Layla), and Bre-Z (Coop), had signed new contracts to return as series regulars, according to a September 2024 confirmation from The CW. Additionally, their comebacks do align with the artistic choices made at the conclusion of Season 6: The conclusion showed that Jordan had accepted a coaching position at South Crenshaw High, that he and his new wife Layla had inherited the Baker residence from Laura, and that Coop had been accepted to both Yale and GAU law schools but had not yet decided between them.
Who Will Not Return for Season 7 of All American?
After playing football sensation Spencer James since All American’s premiere, Daniel Ezra announced in June that he would not be returning to the show on a regular basis for Season 7, referring to Spencer as “the most life-affirming character I’ve ever played.” Five further cast members were confirmed to be leaving as series regulars three months later: Chelsea Tavares (Patience),
Monét Mazur (Laura), Karimah Westbrook (Grace), Samantha Logan (Olivia), and Cody Christian (Asher). However, the CW has revealed that Ezra will return to both directing and guest staring in the upcoming season, along with “other fan-favorite OG characters.” (Logan will appear in Episode 2 and is the first of those to be reported.)
Additionally, the episode provided closure for many of the characters who will not be returning, just as the Season 6 finale of All American left the door correctly open for the returning cast members. In particular, Spencer and Olivia finally got married, and Olivia intended to move to New York to join Spencer, who was playing professional football.
When Will Season 7 of All American Air?
Although a precise premiere date has not yet been set, All American will return to The CW in 2025. There will be thirteen episodes in Season 7. Before Season 7 of All American premieres, you have plenty of time to catch up on previous episodes. Netflix is presently streaming all six of the previous seasons.
