DESCRIPTION:
(from The CW's web site, January 2025) In Season 7, Jordan (Michael Evans Behling), Layla (Greta Onieogou), and Coop (Bre-Z) step into a new chapter as adults, while helping a new generation of Beverly and Crenshaw teens navigate life and football. Jordan and Layla, now blissfully married and living in the Baker house, face new challenges as they juggle their youth, the life they are building together, and their individual careers. Jordan is invigorated as South Crenshaw’s new QB Coach, but struggles to find the line between being his players’ coach and their friend, especially when he has to take one of those players into his home and take on a father figure role way before he is ready. On top of the growing pains, football games, and high school drama, the mystery of Billy Baker’s half-brother’s identity becomes an obsession for Jordan. As for Layla, she must balance her role as wife, producer and club owner while attempting to figure out what’s next for someone who’s already achieved everything at such a young age. Coop finds her place and new friends in law school but struggles when her past comes knocking and she has to finally deal with ghosts that resurface. Meanwhile, a new generation of teens lean on Jordan, Layla and Coop to help them navigate young adulthood, first loves, family drama and football at Beverly and South Crenshaw high. Kingston “KJ” Jeremy (Nathaniel McIntyre) is the new starting QB at Beverly, who dreams of following in Spencer James footsteps all the way to the NFL. Complicating that journey is Cassius Jeremy (Osy Ikhile), KJ’s father and best friend, who uprooted them from their championship winning team in Oakland with no notice to accept the new head coach position at Beverly. Cassius and KJ face unexpected challenges with the Eagles football team, as they aim to bring back Beverly’s glory days, which is easier said than done given that two-time state champions, South Crenshaw High, stand in their way. And one of KJ’s biggest rivals at South Crenshaw is returning high schooler Khalil (Antonio J. Bell). Khalil struggles to focus on school and his rekindled love of football, whilst being pulled into trouble and gang life by his father. Amina (Alexis Chikaeze), determined to be seen as grown by those around her, especially her dad Preach (Kareem Grimes), gets caught up between KJ and Khalil, while also looking for answers to what really happened the night her mother died. A mother she desperately needs now as she navigates becoming a woman. Through it all, the OG Vortex and the new teens will lean on and learn from each other, while exploring new friendships and old rivalries both on and off the field. ALL AMERICAN is from Warner Bros. Television and CBS Studios in association with Berlanti Productions, with executive producers Nkechi Okoro Carroll (“FOUND,” “The Resident”), Greg Berlanti (“You,” “Brilliant Minds,” “The Flash”), Jameal Turner (“Rosewood”), Sarah Schechter (“The Flight Attendant,” “Riverdale,” “You”), and David Strauss (“One Tree Hill”). |
