Season 5 becomes available to stream on Netflix on May 23 in the US.
What is All American season 5 about?
Based on what happened in the season 4 finale, there’s a lot of ground to cover in the new episodes. Starting with Spencer, he and Olivia (Samantha Logan) bumped heads repeatedly throughout season 4. In the finale, she was writing a news story that could have dire consequences for the football program at Golden Angeles University and Spencer’s sports career. Given their relationship is a bit fragile, will they be able to withstand such a colossal storm if Olivia goes public with what she knows?
Elsewhere, Jordan (Michael Evans Behling) fresh off the breakup with Simone (Geffri Maya), confessed his feelings for Layla. While she also has feelings for him, she pumped the breaks on them exploring anything further for the moment. We’d venture to say their romance will bloom in the forthcoming episodes. Although, given that Layla’s ex-fling is now her boss of sorts, and the two didn’t end on a great note, the path to #Jayla may get complicated.
On a side note, let’s hope that Jordan also is not dumb enough to continue playing with a broken hand in his freshman year of college football. Given his high school track record with injuries, we don’t have the most confidence that he’ll be smart about his new issue going forward.
Also expected to be covered in season 5 are Coop’s (Bre-Z) law career ambitions, Asher’s (Cody Christian) development as a football coach and Billy's (Taye Diggs) progress as a high school principal.
All American season 5 cast
To date, there have been no major announcements made about casting changes headed into season 5. However, given Spencer’s mom (Karimah Westbrook) and brother (Jayln Hall) are reportedly moving away with his mom’s fiance (Lamon Archey), her role in the All American canvas seems to be a little more reduced.
With that said, the main cast is as follows:
- Daniel Ezra (A Discovery of Witches) as Spencer James
- Samantha Logan (13 Reasons Why) as Olivia Baker
- Michael Evans Behling (A Cinderella Story: Starstruck) as Jordan Baker
- Greta Onieogou (Undercover Grandpa) as Layla Keating
- Taye Diggs (The Best Man Holiday) as Billy Baker
- Monet Mazur (Castle) as Laura Fine-Baker
- Bre-Z (Empire) as Tamia 'Coop' Cooper
- Cody Christian (Teen Wolf) as Asher Adams
- Chelsea Tavares (Animal Kingdom) as Patience
- Hunter Clowdus (American Vandal) as JJ Parker
- Kareem J. Grimes (For the Love of Jason) as Preach
