All American has been renewed for season six and won’t be affected by the shakeup that’s soon to hit The CW following its takeover by Nexstar. Brad Schwartz, President, Entertainment, The CW Network, announced the series will return as part of the network’s revamped 2023-2024 primetime lineup.
All American ranks as the top linear series on The CW among adults 18-49. The network also reports it has the largest total audience across all platforms.
“Over the last five seasons, All American has established itself as one of the all-time CW flagship franchises,” said Schwartz. “All American is not only the network’s youngest series, but also the strongest performer when combining all our platforms. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, the entire creative team and the incredible cast for another season of captivating family drama.”
Season five will return from its midseason break on Monday, January 23, 2023.
All American season five stars Daniel Ezra as Spencer James, Taye Diggs as Billy Baker, Samantha Logan as Olivia Baker, Bre-Z as Coop, Greta Onieogou as Layla Keating, and Monet Mazur as Laura Baker. Michael Evans Behling is Jordan Baker, Cody Christian is Asher Adams, Karimah Westbrook is Grace James, Chelsea Tavares is Patience, and JJ Parker plays Hunter Clowdus.
The series is executive produced by Nkechi Okoro Carroll (Rosewood, The Resident), Greg Berlanti (The Flash, You, Titans), Sarah Schechter (The Flight Attendant, You, Riverdale), John A. Norris (Deception), Jameal Turner (Rosewood), Mike Herro (One Tree Hill), and David Strauss (American Woman). All American is from Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television and CBS Studios.
Nexstar executive Lee Ann Gliha confirmed in November 2022 that few current shows will return for the 2023-2024 season. The renewal announcement did not mention the status of its spinoff, All American: Homecoming.
