"All American" Cast Teases What’s Ahead for Season 6

“Welcome home.” Those were the two words that "All American" star Bre-Z used to describe the CW series’ upcoming sixth season.

“When I think of Season 6, I think of home,” she said. “We’ve experienced life, but we’re getting back to home base.”

New episodes are right around the corner, with the Season 6 premiere set for April 1, and audiences will pick up with the characters more than a year after they last saw them.




Daniel Ezra said that Spencer, “is very hyper-focused on the NFL now. His NFL dreams are almost like in touching distance now. In high school, it was like a fantasy. And then now he’s in college, it’s kind of become real. He’s focused on rebuilding this GAU team, but it’s a little closer now.”

He called Spencer and Jordan’s narrative “one of my favorite storylines” in Season 6.

As for Spencer and Liv? “They’re still gonna make mistakes, but the one thing that they know is that they love each other. We know where they’re going together. How do we navigate that? In such dynamic professions, as we plan, what happens when our objectives don’t align?”




Samantha Logan had a bit more to say about how Spencer and Olivia will come together over the course of Season 6, explaining that “we’re going to see them really show up for each other and just be in love.”

“I mean, it’s All American, you have to have a little bit of drama. We don’t give people exactly what they want right away. So there is going to be some playful fun in there and fans might want to pull out their hair a little bit, but it’s good. It makes for good TV,” she joked.




Michael Evans Behling says that Jordan, “is just going to enjoy college life, enjoy being an engaged man, and focus on his relationship. And if the NFL still comes knocking, he’ll give it another shot.”

“Jordan can be a very petty person. So whenever something occurs between him and his coach, at a certain point, he almost wants to go to the NFL just to spite his coach. And then Spencer talks him off the ledge,” Behling explained.




Greta Onieogou says that Layla has a lot going on this season between turning Slauson Cafe into her new lounge space, running her record label, and planning a wedding.

“They all grew up together, which is a huge part of how they’re able to continue to support each other. They’re also growing together. A lot of the struggles that we see them go through this season are things that we started exploring earlier on,” Onieogou teased.

“So they have a lot of experience being there for each other. You have to find new ways to support each other because all of those things change and develop and they become more complicated as you get older. But yeah, they’re a solid group of friends. So they continue to step up to the plate.”




Kareem Grimes told Deadline that viewers should expect to see Preach “really settle in as a teacher” in Season 6. He’ll also be focused on continuing Billy’s legacy in a big way, considering all that Billy did to help get him his job at South Crenshaw.

“Preach is actually taking that role very seriously, as far as knowing that this was kind of like the last thing that Billy was able to do before he passed, to be able to get Preach a job as a teacher,” Grimes said.

“He’s very loyal, and he is making sure that he takes what Billy has taught him and left him with to improve. Everything that Preach is doing this season is a tribute to Billy…There’s unfinished work that needs to be done. He’s gonna make sure he does it in Billy’s honor.”




Monet Mazur says that Laura, “started teaching and is now a professor. I think she's finding her way in life without her husband.”

She’s also getting to watch her kids thrive as they step into the next chapters of their life. While we won’t get to see Laura’s reaction to Jordan’s new engagement on screen, Mazur says she thinks there was likely less cause for concern than the last time Jordan got down on one knee.

“I think that…[Laura has] known Layla her whole life. That was maybe something everyone kind of always knew might happen, that it was sort of a natural, comfortable progression. I’m sure, after the loss of her husband, any sort of loving union is a joyous thing. So it was a good reaction.”




Karimah Westbrook said that Grace is, “still supporting the boys.

“There’s a lot of changes within the family, so I think for my character I’m just adjusting and finding the strength to let go, because i’m going to be an empty nester soon.”
