Since its premiere in October 2018, “All American” on The CW has become ratings and popularity success for the network. A critical and audience favourite, the first two seasons of this fascinating sports drama have received perfect 100% scores on Rotten Tomatoes.
There have been multiple NAACP Image Award nominations for the show, and the series has also dominated in the ratings, topping the Nielsen charts (via TVLine) to solidify its position as a must-watch.
Spencer Paysinger, a former NFL Super Bowl champion who is now retired, serves as the subject of “All American,” a biopic that draws on a wide range of sources for its inspiration.
The sitcom stars Daniel Ezra as the potential student-athlete, a young kid from Crenshaw with aspirations of becoming a football star who gets his chance when he is recruited by Beverly Hills High.
Over the course of the four seasons, there are a total of seventy-one episodes to watch. Fans all over the world are eager to find out what happens next because Season 4 (like Season 3) was full of surprises.
We can all breathe a sigh of relief because it was picked up for a fifth season back in March (via Deadline).
Michael Evans Behling, who plays Spencer James, has already hinted to TheWrap that the first half of the next season will be explosive, so fans can rest assured that their questions about what will happen with Spencer James and Olivia Baker (played by Samantha Logan) after that shocking ending will be answered.

All American Season 5 Plot
The life of sportscaster Spencer Paysinger serves as the basis for the show All American. The ex-NFL player isn’t just a consultant, but a full-fledged producer on the show. There has been no official synopsis or storyline summary from The CW as of yet.
A closer look at Spencer James’ (Daniel Ezra) private life is promised this season, as evidenced by the shocking conclusion of the previous season.
Since Spencer found out his girlfriend was writing an expose on his GAU football coach, the end of season 4 of All American may have signalled the beginning of the end for his relationship with Olivia (played by Samantha Logan).
Ezra told TVLine that his character would work to win Olivia back in the series. At that very time, he feels the need to defend his connection with her.
To my mind, it’s the single most crucial factor in his life. Now, all of a sudden, [with] her standing in the way of his football ambitions… I doubt he ever considered a world in which they were on completely opposing teams.
And credit to Coop (Bre-Z) for choosing a career in criminal justice over a relationship with Patience (Chelsea Tavares) or Skye (Alison Brie) (played by Madison Shamoun).
As for Principal Carter and Grace (Karimah Westbrook), they recently were engaged (played by Lamon Archey). Watch out for the developing romance between Jordan (Michael Evans Behling) and Layla (Katherine Isabelle) in All American Season 5. (played by Greta Onieogou).
When All American Season 5 resumes, we’ll have additional information.
