Will there be a Season 2 of All American?
The first season of All American consists of 16 episodes and premiered in October 2018 with the Season 1 finale airing on March 20, 2019. While the series did not bring huge ratings for CW, the series has received critical acclaim and a strong audience score from Rotten Tomatoes.
In an interview with Deadline, The CW network president Mark Pedowitz addressed whether All American will be renewed for Season 2.
“We are extremely proud of that show. We think the production quality is up there with Jane the Virgin and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” he said back on January 31 earlier this year. “It has nothing do with the show. We’re going to sit down in May and determine the wants and the needs are about that moment. It’s positive. It’s a show I’m proud to support.”
