All American: Homecoming Season 3 - Renewal, Cast, & Everything We Know

Summary All American: Homecoming season 3 will continue the story of students at Bringston University, an Atlanta HBCU, with Simone Hicks as the main character in college.

All American: Homecoming season 3 will continue the story of the students at distinguished Atlanta HBCU Bringston University. The show follows Simone Hicks (Geffri Maya) from All American moving over to the spinoff to continue her story in college. The show had a backdoor pilot in All American season 3, and Homecoming took place a little in the future of the original series with a brand-new cast surrounding Hicks' sole actor transferring to the new show. After a well-received first and second season, viewers are now looking ahead to see what All American: Homecoming season 3 has in store.

Since All American: Homecoming premiered, it has remained one of the more successful shows on The CW and is one of only four shows that the network kept of its original fiction lineup, along with the original All American, the DC series Superman & Lois, and Walker starring former Supernatural star Jared Padalecki. However, while the show ended up moving on with a new season, All American: Homecoming season 3 will undergo some major changes, including losing one of its main cast members as The CW sets out to cut the budget of its various fictional series.

All American: Homecoming Season 3 Recent News

Story Details Are Teased

Carroll was quick to stress that casting changes don't necessarily indicate which way Simone will sway, and that the story will need to play out before fans can be sure.

Following a major shakeup in the cast in late 2023, the most recent news concerning the spinoff comes as a story tease for All American: Homecoming season 3. Coming straight from showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll, the tease aims to quell rumors about who Simone will choose in her love triangle after casting changes seemed to reveal who she picked. Lando Johnson (Martin Bobb-Semple) was promoted to series regular status, while Damon Sims (Peyton Alex Smith) was knocked down to recurring status.

Carroll was quick to stress that casting changes don't necessarily indicate which way Simone will sway, and that the story will need to play out before fans can be sure. "Simone will continue to struggle with the messiness of her love life. That is a promise," said Carroll, indicating things are only getting started for Simone.

Read Carroll's full comments below:

Martin’s promotion is a reflection of what a gift to the show he has been. What I will caution people against is thinking that it means the storyline is going in any particular way. Simone will continue to struggle with the messiness of her love life. That is a promise. Like with any college girl, that is going to continue to be at the heart of things, despite her best intentions.
