‘All American’ HBCU Spinoff at The CW

“All American: Homecoming” is a young adult sports drama set against the backdrop of the HBCU experience. The show follows a young tennis hopeful from Beverly Hills and an elite baseball player from Chicago as they contend with the high stakes of college sports, while also navigating the highs, lows and sexiness of unsupervised early adulthood at a prestigious Historically Black College.

The spinoff series stars Geffri Maya’s Simone Hicks, who debuted on the second season of the high school drama. Kelly Jenrette, Cory Hardrict, Sylvester Powell, Netta Walker and Camille Hyde also star. “All American” showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll will executive produce alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, David Madden and Robbie Rogers. Michael Schultz directed the pilot.

A backdoor pilot for the series will air during the current season of “All American” in July.
