CW’s hit tv series, All American, is on the rise to make its debut this October, and from last season it will definitely be an entertaining, and exciting season. But first, read here for a recap of last season’s finale AND predictions for the next season!
As we know, All American is more than just football and school drama; it focuses on the lives of people from Crenshaw, like our beloved Spencer James (Daniel Ezra) and his crew; including the kids from Beverly. With the ups and downs of life, they always end up sticking together through it all. Now as Season 5 is about to make its long-awaited debut, let’s rewind, and recap the last season!
So first, let’s start with Spencer and Olivia. During the last season, we could see that they definitely had ups and downs in their relationship, especially with the transition to college life. Additionally, they overcame Billy’s feud with Spencer after he trained Jordan behind his back. With all these new trials and tribulations, it was a no-brainer that Olivia was considering a breakup or in other words a “break” from the relationship. Luckily, during the finale, it did seem like they were still very much in love, but needed to work on being a team.
Speaking of relationships, a new one is definitely blooming, between Jordan and Layla. This is a pairing that I did NOT expect to happen. After the breakup between Jordan and Simone, it seemed like the writers of the show would just keep him single for the remainder of the season. Clearly, they had other plans. During the season, there were plenty of flirtatious moments between the two and there was chemistry for sure. This helped the pairing make sense but the timing was definitely unexpected. They confessed their feelings for each other so quickly, and frankly, I thought it was the cutest thing. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for them.
Of course, the drama doesn’t stop there. There is also Layla’s co-worker, Clay, who she had ghosted. Now he is going to come back and with a partner who will work closely with Layla. I think this will likely cause tension. Meanwhile, Coop’s past as a gang member is still haunting her, and nobody knows what will happen next. Spencer’s mom, Grace James, is now engaged to Principal D’Angelo and they are happily in love. So far, the gang seems to be fine but we will see how the season unfolds in the coming weeks.
Overall, I can’t wait to see what is in store for the All American crew and I know that I will be at the edge of my seat until the new season arrives which starts on Monday, October 10th on The CW.
