All American Boss Explains Why Season 7 Went Out on a Cliffhanger — Plus, the Latest on a Potential Renewal
In the event that All American does not return for an eighth season at The CW, fans will forever be left wondering about the outcome of one fateful football game. The teen drama closed out its seventh season Monday night with the high-stakes playoff match-up between the Beverly High Eagles and the South Crenshaw Chargers. In the episode's final moments, Beverly was down 24-20, and it all came down to the last play of the game. Beverly quarterback KJ received the ball and threw a long, long pass to the opposite end of the field… but as Jordan, Cassius and every single spectator watched the ball soar through the air, the credits rolled before we could learn where it landed. More from TVLine The Amazing Race: Who Will Win Season 37? And Who Should? Grey's Anatomy's Lucas and Simone Are Done: Is Anybody Sorry? Elsbeth's Carrie Preston, EP Talk Finale's 'Crazy,' Star-Studded Musical Number and Filling the Kaya Void It's possible that cliffhanger could be All American's last scene ever, as the series has yet to be renewed for Season 8. But as co-showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll explains to TVLine, it was hard to pass up the opportunity for a 'symbolic' conclusion to Season 7, even if it meant leaving storylines unfinished. 'The football games between Beverly and Crenshaw — they're always so personal. And this season especially, it is so much bigger than the actual game,' she tells us. 'It is symbolic of the unresolved nature of the Jeremy family and the Baker family and their relationship, of the unresolved nature of Khalil and Amina's relationship, of this new generation's struggle. For us, who won that game and who gets to declare themselves the victor of everything that went down over the season felt like such a powerful way to end the episode, and — fingers crossed — allow us to come back in Season 8 to pick up with the results of that game and how it affects them moving forward.' 2025 Renewal and Cancellation Scorecard! View List As for the show's yet-to-be-determined fate — which will likely be decided later this month, as broadcast networks unveil their 2025-26 lineups — Carroll says she hasn't gotten any indication from The CW about All American's renewal chances, but she's 'optimistic' about its potential to return. 'I mean, we haven't gotten a cancellation, so yay us?' the EP continues with a laugh. 'We're moving forward with our storyline ideas in hopes of getting a Season 8. We all know how this industry works, and there's so little we're in control of, but our hopes are that we will have another season and get to continue this story. Quite frankly, we've only just started to scratch the surface of this new generation. We're so energized about the stories we have to tell with KJ and Amina and Khalil, and the Baker and Jeremy legacy, now that they know they're family.' fans, how did you feel about Monday's finale, including that season-ending cliffhanger?

All American Renewed for Final Season at The CW — Find Out When It Will Air
All American fans, consider this your two-minute warning: The CW has renewed its long-running football drama for an eighth — but final — season. The series' 13-episode swan song, which will '[bring] generations of Crenshaw and Beverly together for a powerful conclusion,' is on track to air in 2026, TVLine has learned. More from TVLine Harry Wild Renewed for Season 5 at Acorn TV The Chi Renewed for Season 8 Hacks Renewed for Season 5 at Max '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 Nkechi Okoro Carroll 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,' the EP added. '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 1. 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.' In its seventh season, All American averaged 514,000 linear viewers (with delayed playback), down 33% from Season 6. Out of the nine dramas that The CW aired this TV season, it ranked No. 6 in audience (behind Wild Cards, Sherlock & Daughter, the cancelled Superman & Lois, Sullivan's Crossing and Good Cop/Bad Cop). That said, it stands as The CW's No. 1 primetime entertainment program with Adults 18-49 and 25-54, and as the network's top performer on The CW app, its crossplatform audience swells to be the largest among CW entertainment shows. Our 2025 Renewal/Cancellation Scorecard! View List Season 7 served as a soft reboot of sorts for the show, which had lost six series regulars — Daniel Ezra (Spencer), Samantha Logan (Olivia), Cody Christian (Asher), Karimah Westbrook (Grace), Monét Mazur (Laura) and Chelsea Tavares (Patience) — during the hiatus between Seasons 6 and 7 (though several of those cast members later returned as guest stars). Michael Evans Behling (Jordan), Greta Onieogou (Layla) and Bre-Z (Coop) were the only OG cast members to return in a series-regular capacity for Season 7, with their characters now serving as the 'responsible adults' guiding a new generation of teens at Beverly Hills High and South Crenshaw High. New cast members, meanwhile, include Osy Ikhile (Citadel) as Cassius Jeremy; Nathaniel McIntyre (David Makes Man) as Kingston 'KJ' Jeremy; Lauryn Hardy (Mann and Wife) as Tori; Terayle Hill (Step Up: High Water) as Marqui; Elijah M. Cooper (That Girl Lay Lay) as Yasi; and newcomer Sasha Lance as Breonna Strong. Additionally, Antonio J. Bell and Alexis Chikaeze — who respectively appeared in Season 6 as South Crenshaw student Khalil and Preach's daughter, Amina — were both upped to series regulars for Season 7. With today's renewal, All American will now get a chance to resolve the cliffhanger from its Season 7 finale, which cut to black before viewers could learn who won a pivotal playoff game between the Beverly High Eagles and South Crenshaw Chargers. 'The football games between Beverly and Crenshaw — they're always so personal. And this season especially, it is so much bigger than the actual game,' Okoro Carroll told TVLine of the choice to end the season on a question mark. 'It is symbolic of the unresolved nature of the Jeremy family and the Baker family and their relationship, of the unresolved nature of Khalil and Amina's relationship, of this new generation's struggle. For us, who won that game and who gets to declare themselves the victor of everything that went down over the season felt like such a powerful way to end the episode, and — fingers crossed — allow us to come back in Season 8 to pick up with the results of that game and how it affects them moving forward.'
