Netflix has finally added the latest season of All American, the hit sports drama fans are calling the best TV show on right now, to their streaming service.
Netflix just gave fans of one of TV’s most beloved sports dramas the news they’ve been waiting for — the latest season of All American has officially landed on the streamer.
The fan-favorite series, which first premiered on The CW in 2018, didn’t make huge waves in traditional ratings when it debuted. But everything changed once All American found its second life on streaming. Thanks to Netflix, the show has developed a massive cult following that continues to grow year after year — and now, those loyal viewers can finally dive into the gripping seventh season.
All American stars Daniel Ezra as Spencer James, a talented high school football player from Crenshaw who’s recruited to play for the elite Beverly Hills High. Inspired by the real-life story of NFL linebacker Spencer Paysinger, the drama tackles issues of race, class, identity, and ambition — all against the backdrop of hard-hitting football and high-stakes teen drama.
In season seven, which first premiered in January, the story has shifted into adult territory. While Ezra’s Spencer now appears in a guest role, the focus centers around Michael Evans Behling’s Jordan Baker, who is now married to Layla Keating, played by Greta Onieogou.
According to the season synopsis: “Jordan, Layla, and Coop (played by 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.”
While the dynamics have shifted from high school drama to adulthood and professional aspirations, longtime viewers say the show’s heart and emotional depth remain intact.
Fan reactions have been effusive. One viewer wrote in a glowing Google review:
“At first glance, I thought this series was going to be another high school football cliché. However, the series began to grow on me quickly only after the first twenty minutes of Episode 1. The show really does have it all: different worlds colliding with several entertaining plot lines, a talented group of actors and an interesting cast of characters.”
Another added:
“It’s such a beautiful TV show. I really adore their work and I am so in love with the kind of relationship they have with each other. Every time I watch All American my heart is always melted by the amazing talent each and every one of them has.”
And perhaps the boldest praise of all came from a diehard fan who gushed:
“This Is THE BESSSSTTTTT tv show ever. I wish I could meet the characters in real life. Like I know this whole show better than I know myself.”
With seven seasons now under its belt and a rich mix of sports, social issues, and evolving relationships, it’s no surprise fans are calling All American “the best TV show on television.”
Whether you’re brand new to the drama or a longtime fan looking to catch up, the full seventh season is now available on Netflix. Add it to your watchlist and get ready to binge one of the decade’s most impactful and addictive sports dramas.
