After what felt like a forever wait, The CW network has officially dropped the premiere dates for the eagerly awaited new seasons of its popular series, ‘All American: Homecoming’ season 3. The third season of the HBCU-set spin off is set to premiere on July 8 at 9/8c.
“All American: Homecoming,” a spin-off from the hit “All American” franchise, immerses viewers into the world of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) at Bringston University. Led by Geffri Maya as Simone Hicks, the ensemble cast also features Camille Hyde as Thea Mays, Sylvester Powell as JR Raymond, Mitchell Edwards as Cam Watkins, Netta Walker as Keisha McCalla, Rhoyle Ivy King as Nathaniel Hardin, and Martin Bobb-Semple as Lando Johnson, now elevated to series regular status.
With the Season 3 teaser trailer now released, viewers are given a tantalizing glimpse into the drama awaiting them. Simone Hicks, portrayed by Geffri Maya, is poised to “dominate this season,” yet the trailer hints at a tumultuous journey ahead for her character. From potential injuries on the tennis court to complexities in her personal life, including a love triangle that seems far from resolved, the upcoming season is filled with drama on and off the court.
Showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll has cautioned against making assumptions about the direction of Simone’s romantic entanglements, despite the promotion of Martin Bobb-Semple (Lando) to series regular status and Peyton Alex Smith (Damon) being relegated to recurring. Carroll emphasizes that Simone’s struggles with matters of the heart will remain central to the narrative.
Beyond Simone’s storyline, the Season 3 trailer offers glimpses into the challenges facing other characters, including JR’s quest to “reclaim [his] life,” Amara’s sobering words for Marcus, and Keisha’s professional setbacks.
Mark your calendars for the premiere of “All American: Homecoming” Season 3 on July 8, with subsequent episodes airing in its regular time slot beginning July 22. Watch the trailer below.
