The second season of All American: Homecoming involves an finish on March 27, with no affirmation come what may about whether or not it can come again for Season 3. That’s not altogether uncommon, significantly for a present with a season ending in March versus late April or early Might, however the shakeups at The CW imply that the way forward for the All American spinoff (in addition to many of the community’s different scripted reveals) is much from sure. So, let’s take a look at what is understood to this point to gauge the percentages of a 3rd season!
What’s Occurring At The CW
The CW was as soon as the house of a full slate of scripted TV reveals, lots of them a part of the Arrowverse world of superheroes. By 2023, The Flash is the final Arrowverse present standing (and shortly approaching its finish), Riverdale and Nancy Drew are additionally scheduled to wrap, and early studies recommend that solely three of the remaining reveals might be renewed resulting from Nexstar Media Group buying majority possession of The CW. A veritable crimson wedding ceremony of cancellations occurred again in spring 2022, and the long run is grim for scripted originals.
Plus, of the reported three slots for renewal, one has already been taken by All American, which was renewed for Season 6 again in January, with no information of whether or not meaning one thing for its spinoff. As of All American: Homecoming’s Season 1 finale on March 27, there are seven remaining scripted originals seemingly competing for 2 slots: Walker, Walker: Independence (with its personal odds of renewal damaged down right here), Superman & Lois, Kung Fu, The Winchesters, Gotham Knights, and naturally All American: Homecoming.
I’d say that All American incomes a renewal bodes effectively for Homecoming, and people are the one two reveals that may simply cross over by this level, with Walker and Walker: Independence units greater than a century aside of The Winchesters debuting years after Supernatural ended. As any longtime Arrowverse viewer is aware of, The CW has proven a whole lot of love for spinoffs and crossovers.
Then once more, these shut ties may imply cancelling Homecoming and bringing a few of the characters over to the mum or dad sequence, to depart the remaining two renewal slots for different reveals. So, let’s check out what could set the present aside (for higher or worse) from the opposite CW reveals on the bubble: scores.
What The Rankings Inform Us
Rankings aren’t fairly as significant these days with many individuals preferring to look at TV through streaming and/or delayed viewing versus stay, however the numbers in the important thing 18-49 age demographic are nonetheless useful in a number of methods, together with displaying how many individuals make a present a precedence to look at ASAP vs. those that watch inside three or seven days.
In response to SpoilerTV, All American: Homecoming is at the moment averaging a Dwell+Identical day score of 0.1, which… isn’t precisely spectacular. That does leap as much as 0.2 in Dwell+3 (a.okay.a. the quantity of people that watched inside three days of broadcast) for a 100% enhance, and stays at 0.2 by to Dwell+7. With regards to viewers measurement, the present is averaging .367 million viewers per episode in Dwell+Identical, which grows to .557 in Dwell+3 and .616 million in Dwell+7.
Now, The CW is rarely going to rival the key networks in relation to scores and viewership, however All American: Homecoming’s numbers simply aren’t sufficient to ensure a renewal. The upside for the present is that not one of the community’s reveals are hitting terribly excessive totals, so it is not lagging far behind the competitors.
The Verdict
On the entire, with so few slots for renewals and none of The CW’s reveals having an enormous edge in scores and/or viewership, we will solely speculate about All American: Homecoming’s future. My greatest guess is that Superman & Lois might be one of many renewed reveals, and my prime three guesses for the second slot have been The Winchesters because of its Supernatural ties, Walker: Independence because of its Walker ties, and All American: Homecoming, with Misha Collins’ Gotham Knights as a wild card.
Homecoming does get pleasure from a connection to All American, on prime of being a pair seasons in with time to construct a fan base. That stated, it doesn’t get fairly as a lot of a promotional push as different of The CW’s reveals, and its scores and viewership simply don’t match these of its mum or dad sequence. Mainly, we will solely speculate till The CW makes an announcement come what may, however I’d positively put Homecoming’s odds of renewal as considerably higher than a few of the different reveals on the community.
For now, you’ll be able to at all times revisit the primary season of All American: Homecoming and first 4 seasons of All American streaming with a Netflix subscription. You may as well discover some upcoming viewing choices on our 2023 TV premiere schedule.
