According to Deadline, as reported on May 12, 2022, the net reports that All American: Homecoming, was one of its most-streamed shows on the CW app in its first year. So, it is not surprising that the network decided to renew the series long before the finale episode of season one was set to air as a TV broadcast and later available to watch on the streaming platform.
All American: Homecoming Season 2 Release Date
The series renewal was officially announced by the CW in the month of May before the premiere of the conclusion episode of Season 1, Irreplaceable, which was released on May 23, 2022. Since then, it’s only been a few days. So, asking for an exact official release date for All American: Homecoming Season 2 seems a little early. On the other hand, fans should rejoice at this moment that the series is still happening. The renewal announcement of the series within a few days is not usual with the major networks which evaluate the performance of the show to grant another season.
However, if we must anticipate the release date for the following season, we can look at the previous season’s pattern, as the first episode of Season 1, Start Over, premiered on February 21, 2022. As a result, the upcoming season might premiere in the early months of 2023 assuming there are no major production delays and the crew members are able to arrange the post-production for the season on time.
We would like to highlight that this is just speculation at this point in time. However, it is evident that the network intends to keep the show going, as the quick renewal implies that plans for a second season were already in the works with no major hurdles.
Take a look at some fan’s reactions to the renewal
