“All American” is a popular sports drama series on The CW, inspired by the life of former NFL player Spencer Paysinger. Premiering in October 2018, the show follows Spencer James, a talented football player from South Central Los Angeles, as he navigates life, love, and ambition after transferring to Beverly Hills High School. With seven seasons of intense drama, heartfelt moments, and gridiron action, fans are eagerly asking: Is All American Season 8 happening? Here’s everything we know so far.

All American Season 8 Renewal Status

As of June 2, 2025, The CW has not officially confirmed or canceled “All American” for Season 8. However, renewal discussions are reportedly active, with industry sources suggesting a “50/50 chance” of the show returning, according to Deadline. Showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll remains optimistic, stating, “I believe in unicorns and rainbows and gummy bears and all things happy. So, I am optimistic for Season 8, and I’m moving forward and planning as though we have one, because if I don’t, we won’t be ready in time when we get it.” This hopeful outlook is encouraging, but no final decision has been announced by The CW.

Potential Release Date for Season 8

If “All American” is renewed for Season 8, a release date would likely follow The CW’s recent midseason pattern. Season 7 premiered on January 29, 2025, with a special Wednesday airing before moving to its regular Monday 8 p.m. ET slot on February 3, 2025, wrapping up on May 5, 2025. Assuming a similar timeline, Season 8 could potentially premiere in early 2026.
