If you compare it to the CW’s current slate of vampire dramas, DC superhero programmes, and soap opera reboots, All American seems to be a bit of an afterthought. A fictionalised version of Spencer Paysinger’s real-life youth, which took place on the south side of Los Angeles and included attendance at Beverly Hills High School.
His high school football experience paved the way for him to go on to play college football for the University of Oregon Ducks, and then professional football for clubs such as the Miami Dolphins and, most recently, the Carolina Panthers, before retiring from the game.
All American launched in 2018 and quickly dispelled any fears that the high school football drama would be a letdown when compared to the rest of the network’s other series. Instead, the show proved to be an unexpected hit.
The show’s first two seasons were an exhilarating blend of youthful melodrama and socio-political criticism, earning it critical acclaim as well as economic success.
Regardless of whether you were a hard-won cynic or a devoted fan from the start, the news that the show had been extended for a third season after a spectacular season 2 finale was heartening news for everyone.
Even though we still have a long way to go until the start of All American season 3, we do have some information about the show’s upcoming third season to keep us entertained in the meanwhile.
All American Season 3 Release Date
Season 2 of All American concluded on March 9, 2020, and fans were left wondering if the show will be revived for a third season. For the CW, the programme didn’t start off as a major success, and it wasn’t until it became one of the most popular series on Netflix that the network decided to throw its entire support behind it (according to Business Insider).
Thanks to the CW’s announcement of the show’s renewal only a few weeks after the season 2 finale, All American fans didn’t have to worry about the show’s future for too long.
However, given the present situation of the film and television industries in general, there is no way to predict when season 3 of All American will premiere. Despite the fact that the previous two seasons both launched in October, Fansided is alleging that the CW has moved the release date of season 3 to January 2021, according to the site.
The series was also caught up in the network’s rearrangement of its autumn 2020-winter 2021 schedule, which resulted in further production delays. Taye Diggs, the film’s lead, said in a recent interview with Popculture.com that he anticipated shooting to begin in September or October, which might suggest that the January release date is still a possibility – though it will be tight.
It has been reported by Deadline that the All American production crew officially returned to work on September 28. This raises the possibility that season 3 would launch on The CW sometime early next year. The next season will not be available on Netflix until after it has completed its initial network broadcast on ABC.
The wait to find out what happens to Spencer now that he has moved from Beverly Hills High back to South Crenshaw High may seem excessive, but keep in mind that despite a shaky start, All American has the potential to secure a third season, which is something to be thankful for.
How many episodes will there be in the season 3 of All American?
There were just 16 episodes in each of the show’s first two seasons, which was a small sample size. While it was reasonable when the football drama was only a niche programme, fans of the show were expecting for a longer season for the show’s third season since Netflix has elevated All American to one of the most popular shows on the CW.
Other popular returning programmes, like as Riverdale and The Flash, were able to work their way up to 22-episode orders, and fans speculated that All American might be next in line for a similar treatment. Unfortunately, the CW and its parent company, WarnerMedia, were not on board with this.
Fans who were wanting to see the whole 22 will undoubtedly be disappointed. According to Netflix Life, season 3 of All American will consist of 16 episodes in total. On a plus side, the network was able to complete all 16 episodes before the lockdown began, so there is no reason to be concerned that the current situation of the business would result in a shortened season. Beginning in January 2021, viewers should be able to watch the whole sequence of events.
All American Season 3 Cast
With people dealing with drug addiction, cancer, and the aftermath of a gun massacre in the second season, it’s hard to blame viewers for being a little concerned about the future of the All American group. Currently, it looks like the show’s major cast members will all return for the third season, which will premiere in the fall of 2019.
ScreenRant reports that series actors Daniel Ezra and Taye Diggs, who portray Spencer James and coach Billy Baker, respectively, will return for season 3 of their show. Additionally, according to the website, Samantha Logan, Greta Onieogou, Jalyn Hall, and Bre-Z are all expected to return to their respective roles.
Fans of Chelsea Tavares’ Patience will be pleased to know that the character has been upgraded to series regular status, which is a pleasant development for those who have liked following the young, up-and-coming musician from South Crenshaw High.
Characters such as Asher (Cody Christian) and Jordan (Michael Evans Behling), who were not mentioned in the announcement, are left with a question mark hanging over their heads. Given that there were no significant goodbyes in the season 2 finale, it is probable that they, too, will be returning for the third season.
As for new cast members, there have been no announcements as of yet. Given Spencer’s decision to return to South Crenshaw High for his senior year, we wouldn’t be shocked if a whole new cast of characters debuted on the show the following season as a result.
What exactly is the storyline of All American season 3?
Following the emotionally charged season 1 finale, in which Spencer was forced to confront his old teammates from South Crenshaw High in a football game, the conclusion of season 2 saw Spencer’s journey to find his place in the world take yet another turn.
As it was found that Spencer’s previous high school, South Crenshaw, was being converted into a magnet school in a bid to gentrify the area, Spencer announced that he would be leaving Beverly Hills High and returning to his hometown of South Crenshaw, California.
