In addition, The CW also revealed that there will be a special, All American: The Final Season Special, airing on Monday, June 22nd at 9pm ET/PT.
The hour-long celebration will chronicle “the journey of the characters who captured the hearts of viewers both on and off the field. The tribute will look back at the show’s most memorable moments, relationships, and milestones, honoring the legacy of a series that has resonated with audiences and redefined the modern sports drama.”
“How do you say goodbye to family? Because that is what these characters, these actors, this All American crew and staff are after eight beautiful, hard fought, seasons together. Family,” showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll shared in a statement. “This was the question on repeat for all of us as we crafted this final season with long hours, lots of love, and even more tears. And what we realized was that just like when your kids grow up and finally leave home, this wasn’t goodbye… It was a tear-filled I’ll see you soon. So, to our fans who have rocked with us faithfully for over a hundred episodes, we hope you enjoy this final season as much as we enjoyed making it. Thanks for taking this ride with us. We are so grateful for you… And we’ll see you soon.”
All American season eight will kick off with a two-hour premiere on Monday, July 13th at 8pm ET/PT. Find out which stars are returning!
Here’s a synopsis: The final season follows Jordan, Layla, Coop, Cassius, KJ, Khalil, Amina, and Preach as the pursuit of their individual dreams unexpectedly challenges friendships and family that are tentative at best after the events of Season 7. Focusing on the three pillars that have always been at the heart of All American – football, family and friendship – Season 8 picks up six months after the football cliffhanger at the end of last season and will span just one week in our favorite Beverly and Crenshaw crew’s life. A week that will have them wondering if everything they’ve been through over the course of their lives has prepared them for this moment. A week that will ultimately reunite old with the new, friend with enemy, and alter the course of each of their futures forever.
