All American is an American sports drama television series created by April Blair that premiered on The CW on October 10, 2018. The series follows the lives of a group of people from both Crenshaw and Beverly Hills and features an ensemble cast starring Daniel Ezra in the lead role as well as Bre-Z, Greta Onieogou, Samantha Logan, Michael Evans Behling, Cody Christian, Karimah Westbrook, Monet Mazur, Taye Diggs, Jalyn Hall, Chelsea Tavares, Hunter Clowdus, Alexis Chikaeze, Antonio J. Bell, Osy Ikhile and Nathaniel McIntyre.

All American is inspired by the life of professional American football player Spencer Paysinger and originally revolves around teen Spencer James (Ezra), a rising star football player from Crenshaw whose dream is to make it to the NFL, as he is recruited by coach Billy Baker (Diggs) to play for his high school team in Beverly Hills.

The series was met with positive reviews from both critics and audiences, with praise being aimed in particular at the football sequences and performances of Ezra, Christian and Diggs. However, it initially got weak television ratings on its home channel, but was a sleeper hit when released on Netflix, which helped both to boost its linear ratings and prevent its cancellation, allowing it to stay on air and run for several seasons.

In January 2023, the series was renewed for a sixth season,^[1] which premiered on April 1, 2024.^[2] In June 2024, the series was renewed for a seventh season.^[3]
