“All American is one of the greatest CW shows of all time and we are honored to bring it back for one final season to give fans a chance to say a meaningful goodbye to these inspiring characters and this incredible world,” Brad Schwartz, president of The CW Network, said in a news release. “The series took bold new steps in Season 7, adding exciting new characters to the ones we already love, and viewers truly embraced it all.”
