‘All American’ Spinoff Release Date and How to Watch
The All American universe will continue to expand! The CW ordered a spinoff series of the popular sports drama titled All American: Homecoming. Unlike the Spencer Paysinger-inspired series, the spinoff will focus on the HBCU experience in America. Here is everything we know so far about All American: Homecoming.
When is the ‘All American’ spinoff premiering on the CW?
According to Deadline, the All American spinoff will premiere on Feb. 21, 2022, on the CW at 9 PM. The spinoff series is written by All American executive producer and showrunner Nkechi Okoro Caroll. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Caroll revealed that she wanted to bring the HBCU experience to the small-screen. For instance, she grew up watching A Different World, the Cosby Show spinoff centered around Black students attending Hillman College.
“This is my way of hoping I can introduce the HBCU experience and widen the horizon for our youth as a whole,” she explained. “I’m completely surrounded by people who went to HBCUs, and [they have this] sense of finding themselves. And finding a place where they felt permission to be whatever version of Black they were and really explore what that means.”
