Plot
CW’s All American series explores life at the college campus, where new students look forward to discovering themselves, away from the parental oversight that was part of high school. These kids are, in a manner of speaking, not kids anymore. All American: Homecoming is a spinoff show, which is centered around Simone (Geffri Maya) at the fictional HBCU Bringston College in Atlanta.
Another reason why this series appeals to the college-going demographic is its emphasis on sports. We see Simone’s tennis background coming to the fore, as well as the prestigious yet scandal-hit baseball program at the college. And of course, like any other college-based show, teen romance is right around the corner. This leads us to the male lead of the show, Damon Simms (Peyton ‘Alex’ Smith), a baseball star in the making.
Having just aired its first episode, and garnering critical acclaim from fans and critics alike, a lot of people are hearing of this potential sleeper hit about black youth. If you missed it the first time, here’s how you can watch All American: Homecoming from anywhere. And it’s okay if you haven’t seen the original series because Homecoming is an accessible show to get into.

Berlanti Productions, the steward behind the Arrowverse series of superhero shows, is also in charge of producing this teen college sports drama series.
Series star Geffri Maya says that ‘We’re building a universe.’ Given executive producer Greg Berlanti’s experience in building cohesive TV universes, we’re inclined to believe Maya!

FAQs
Is All American: Homecoming a spinoff?
Indeed, it is. Homecoming was an idea born out of a backdoor pilot from All American, which put Simone’s character in the driving seat. The backdoor pilot first aired on 5 July 2021 on the third season of All American.
Where can I watch All American: Homecoming in Canada and Australia?
You can watch the original series as well as the spinoff on the CW app and website. You will be needing a full-fledged VPN service like PureVPN to take care of regional restrictions you may run into if you’re not in the US.
Is All American: Homecoming based on a true story?
The parent series All American centered around football star Spencer James, who is based on former NFL player Spencer Paysinger. That seems to be the driving inspiration behind the original, but Simone’s story is more about discovering yourself and finding your place as you transition into the teen years.
