CW’s ‘All American’ Renewed for an Eighth & Final Season

After seven seasons of scoring ratings touchdowns for The CW, ‘All American‘ will run its final victory lap with season 8.

Barely a month after closing season 7 with a jaw-dropping cliffhanger (May 5), ‘All American’ has officially received the axe with insiders confirming its next season will be its last.

“How do I condense into just a few words what would be the longest love letter to this show, the fans, the cast, crew, staff, and producers?” showrunner and executive producer Nkechi Okoro Carrol said in a statement. “My heart is so filled with love and gratitude for everyone who helped bring ‘All American’ to life and kept it going for its historic run. It is so hard to say goodbye to the thing that you love, but we are so excited we get to do it in the way we envisioned with this final season. Thank you to Brad Schwartz, Channing Dungey, Brett Paul, and Greg Berlanti for supporting our vision. Thank you to the many executives at Warner Bros Discovery, CW and Berlanti Productions who have been a supportive part of the All American huddle since day one. Thank you to our OG and new generation cast members, our writers, crew and full staff for raising the bar every episode. Thank you to Spencer Paysinger, whose life inspired this epic journey. And thank you to everyone who not only watched the show, but took Spencer James’s mantra of ‘Dream Big. Stay Real’ to heart and were inspired to chase their seemingly impossible dreams. We see you. We salute you. Here’s to leaving it all on the field one last time.”

Brad Schwartz, President of The CW Network, echoed the sentiment.

“All American is one of the greatest CW shows of all time, and we are honored to bring it back for one final season to give fans a chance to say a meaningful goodbye to these inspiring characters and this incredible world,” said Schwartz. “The series took bold new steps in Season 7, adding exciting new characters to the ones we already love, and viewers truly embraced it all. From the first episode of Season 7 to the last, viewership grew 71% among adults 18-49 and 55% among those age 25-54. We cannot wait to see the emotion, heart, and magic that Nkechi Okoro Carroll and the entire cast and creative team deliver in giving this story the proper ending it deserves.”

And while the season 8 premiere date has not been announced yet, it’s believed the series will return in 2026.

A sports drama series inspired by the life of professional football player Spencer Paysinger, ‘All American’ most famously featured Daniel Ezra, Michael Evans Behling, Greta Onieogou, Osy Ikhile, Nathaniel McIntyre. Antonio J. Bell,Alexis Chikaeze, and Bre-Z among its cast members over its tenure.
