All American Season 8: release date and premiere buzz
Mark your calendars for 2026! All American Season 8 will debut in 2026 on The CW. Although the release date has not been announced yet, the network has confirmed that All American Season 8 will comprise 13 episodes, giving the show ample time to resolve the largest storylines in a proper manner.
This is a particularly significant season since it is the culmination of one of the fine scripted dramas that The CW produced prior to the Nexstar era. As the network begins turning its attention to unscripted shows, sports, and late-night shows, Season 8 seems like a proper goodbye to a classic CW show.
To international audiences, past seasons have generally made it to streaming services a few months following their premiere in the U.S., and thus, fans outside America can probably expect Season 8 on the streaming platforms, including ITVX in the UK, which has already added Season 6 and 7 to its offerings in 2025.
The release date is still early 2026, with no exact date set yet, but the buzz is quite high already. Fans are already speculating on the story ending, and will continue to do so, as more updates will be posted in the future, particularly when the formal premiere date is announced.
Cast, characters and streaming
With the final season looming, All American Season 8 promises to feel like a major reunion. Audiences can count on familiar faces to revisit and give long-standing characters true closure. This includes Daniel Ezra's Spencer James, who stepped away as a regular after Season 6 but is said to still be actively involved behind the scenes and expected to appear on screen, some even guess he might be directing an episode.
Although some of these original cast members do not show up regularly for Season 7, most of them are said to make a return for important moments in All American Season 8, which include some reunions and weddings, among other very emotional goodbyes.
As for actually watching the show itself, Season 8 will air on The CW in the U.S. with new episodes premiering on Mondays. After airing over the broadcast network, the season will no doubt make its way to streaming services that previously carried the show, including Netflix, though the timing might be different depending on one's region. It may also be added to some international platforms, including ITVX, which already streams older seasons.
