Characters
The CW is back with a new season of “All American: Homecoming,” a college spinoff of the hit series. The new season is set to premiere on October 10 on the CW. The show centers on the teen girl Simone Hicks, who has her sights set on college. She is a tennis player and baseball prodigy, but she’s also struggling with her unsupervised early adulthood.
While The CW hasn’t yet released an official synopsis for Season 2, fans can expect the show to continue the storyline of the first season. Season two is likely to continue the Simone-Damon relationship drama and bring in a few new characters. Damon and Jesse, who both hate the Coach, are likely to rekindle their old rivalry, and the two will continue to battle over who is the “good guy” in the family. In addition, the show will likely continue to address the mental health of Coach Turner and the relationship between Damon and Amara Patterson.
The main female protagonist in All American Homecoming, Simone, is an idealistic and optimistic girl. She believes that opportunities are sent to her from the heavens. Despite her difficult circumstances, she is devoted to her sport, tennis, and her dreams. Even though the road will be difficult, Simone’s optimistic spirit and unwavering determination will help her win.
Plot
Among the freshman series on The CW, All American Homecoming is one that escaped the network’s axe this season. The series will continue where Season 1 left off, with Simone Hicks going to a historically black college to pursue her dream of playing pro tennis. However, the fate of her relationship with Damon Sims is unclear.
Damon Sims is played by Peyton Alex Smith. He is a top baseball recruit from Chicago, but turned it down to sustain the baseball schedule at Bringston High School. But he has a mysterious connection to his birth family and the HBCU. His birth parents followed his path to the HBCU, and eventually passed him up for adoption. Damon now searches for his birth parents.
A spin-off of the popular “All American” franchise, All American: Homecoming is a young-adult sports drama set against historically black colleges. The cast includes Michael Evans Behling and Spencer. The show premiered on The CW on February 21 and will be available on the network’s website.
Cast
The CW has ordered a second season of All American Homecoming. The new drama stars Geffri Maya as Simone Hicks, Peyton Alex Smith as Damon Sims, Kelly Jennerette as Amara Patterson, and Cory Hardrict as Marcus Turner. The show is produced by Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television.
The show is a spinoff of the hit show “All American.” This drama is set against the backdrop of the HBCU experience, and stars Geffri Maya in a reprisal role as Simone Hicks. The show is produced by Berlanti Productions and is directed by Michael Schultz.
Marqui Jackson, who served as a co-executive producer on the first season of the show, was promoted to executive producer and co-showrunner of the series. She will work alongside Nkechi Okoro Carroll, the series creator/executive producer. The show will continue to focus on the lives of athletes and students attending a historically black college.
Diversity
The CW’s new spinoff, All American: Homecoming, follows college student Simone Hicks as she moves from Beverly Hills to a fictional HBCU in Atlanta to resume her tennis career. The show’s creators and the NAACP have partnered to create a scholarship program based on the show, which will award 10 scholarships for $10,000 to deserving students at HBCUs. The show’s cast has also been vocal about body shaming and removing stereotypes of large bodies onscreen.
As the spinoff to the All American series, this show features a cast of diverse races and backgrounds. This season’s cast features three Black leads, as well as an LBGTQ+ character. Those interested in HBCUs will find that the show tackles issues that many HBCUs and student-athletes face, including HBCU accreditation. The show also shows the potential for a positive impact on HBCUs and the LGBT community.
The show is not without its villains. Simone Hicks has been promoted to active tennis player, which has reignited tension between him and Thea. Meanwhile, Damon is trying to restore morale among the team through questionable means.
