Everything to Know About All American Season 7

All American Season 7 is getting a major cast shake-up. After The CW confirmed that the Season 6 finale marked Daniel Ezra's last episode as a series regular on the show, it was announced that five more cast members — including Samantha Logan and Cody Christian — will exit as series regulars ahead of the seventh season.

We've watched every member of the vortex grow from high school sophomores to full-blown adults who have now graduated college and started their own careers. They are professional athletes, coaches, music moguls, and there's even a bestselling author in the group. What will this show look like with such a condensed cast? That's the big question for Season 7.

All American is one of the last scripted shows to hold over from the old CW era, but it is still going strong. Here's everything we know about the drama and what you can expect in the next season. 

All American Season 7 latest news

In September 2024, The CW announced a major cast shake-up for All American Season 7. Samantha Logan, Cody Christian, Karimah Westbrook, Monét Mazur, and Chelsea Tavares are not returning as series regulars. This makes Michael Evans Behling, Greta Onieogou, and Bre-Z the only three original cast members set to return full-time.

The CW also confirmed that Daniel Ezra will be back for Season 7 as a director and guest star, while "other fan-favorite OG characters" are also expected to appear as guest stars.

When is the All American Season 7 release date?

An official release date for All American Season 7 has not been announced yet, but the show will not air as part of CW's fall lineup, so it will return at mid-season in January or later in 2025. 

What will All American Season 7 be about? 

All American Season 7 is a new chapter for the vortex. The crew is out of college and officially entering adulthood. Some are married, some are already parents, and they are figuring out what their legacies are going to be. Asher (Cody Christian) accepted a job as an assistant coach at Beverly High at the end of Season 6 while Jordan took a similar job at Crenshaw. Beverly is where Asher first learned that he wanted to be a coach and Crenshaw is the last place Jordan's dad Billy (Taye Diggs) coached before he died, so both of them have a lot of self-imposed pressure to make these new gigs work, and they'll be going head-to-head to do it. 

Meanwhile, Layla is still running ForMonica Records. She's going to need some new artists with Patience (Chelsea Tavares) heading to Broadway and Coop (Bre-Z) heading to law school after the Season 6 finale. All American Season 7 will be about the vortex attempts to take all they've learned in young adulthood and use it to change the world now that they are officially out on their own.
