Since All American season 5 wrapped in May of 2023, viewers have been left on the edge of their seats waiting for All American season 6 to premiere to find out what happens next. Unfortunately, the wait between seasons has been longer this time around as there were industry-wide actors' and writers' strikes that delayed production for new episodes of the popular CW series. 

Well on February 15, The CW finally announced when fans of the show can expect new episodes. Check out the exciting news below. 

When does All American season 6 premiere?

Spencer (Daniel Ezra) and the rest of "The Vortex" are back with season 6 on Monday, April 1 on The CW. The news of the spring airdate is only topped by the official season 6 trailer. 

Now looking at the trailer, it appears the show jumped a few months ahead as Liv (Samantha Logan) is back from her trip to London, Asher's (Cody Christian) baby has been born and Jordan (Michael Evans Behling) is sporting a new look. Check out the clip below.  

What happened in the All American season 5 finale?

When season 5 concluded, the main characters were all finally making progress in their efforts to move on in the wake of Billy Baker's (Taye Diggs) death. Spencer and Oliva confessed their feelings for one another and are likely headed toward reconciliation. However, the duo will have to contemplate the future of their romance under some interesting dynamics given Oliva accepted a spot in a cultural exchange program that takes her to London for a little while. 

Then there's Jordan and Layla (Greta Onieogou). The forever romantic finally convinced the young music exec to come out to the world about their relationship, leading him to pop the big question. She shockingly accepted his proposal, meaning Jordan is engaged for the second time (yes, he's barely a sophomore in college). 

Amid all the love, tragedy struck at the Baker family home. In the final minutes of the season 5 finale, Patience (Chelsea Tavares) was stabbed by her stalker Miko (Courtney Bandeko) and left on the floor bleeding. Unfortunately, Coop (Bre-Z) was on her way to see Patience and reveal she still has feelings for her ex. It now looks as if Coop's big declaration will be overshadowed by a life-or-death situation. 

As we wait to see what lies in store in All American season 6, All American seasons 1-5 are available to stream on Netflix in the US and ITVX in the UK.
