‘All American’ Season 5 Preview
When we last saw the football players from Golden Angeles University and Coastal California College, they were all recovering from a scary swatting incident at JJ’s (Hunter Clowdus) murder-mystery party. The call was traced back to Wade’s (Christian James) phone, but it wasn’t enough to charge him. However, Olivia (Samantha Logan) confronted Coach Garrett (Sean Carrigan) about Wade and Garrett benched him, letting Jordan (Michael Evans Behling) start the homecoming game.
But something wasn’t sitting right with Olivia and she decided to write an expose on Garrett and his corrupt program, which left her and Spencer (Daniel Ezra) on the outs.
Meanwhile, Coop (Bre-Z) decided not to pursue a relationship with either Skye (Madison Shamoun) or Patience (Chelsea Tavares), choosing instead to pursue her interest in criminal justice. Bre-Z told TVLine after the season four finale that that is what she is most excited for in season five.
“I want to see her do something different,” said Bre-Z. “I want to see her develop more skill in dealing with people and dealing with situations, and I think working with Laura Baker (Monet Mazur) will definitely help her do that, change her perspective a bit.”
When the show returns for its fifth season, the premiere episode is titled “Ludacrismas” and its description reads, “With everyone on holiday break, Spencer, decides to throw an epic Christmas party, with the help of JJ and Asher (Cody Christian), as an excuse to bring him and Olivia closer. Jordan gets news about his hand, but he isn’t sure what to do. After weeks of research, Olivia and Billy (Taye Diggs) think they may have a breakthrough on their investigation. Layla (Greta Onieogou) decides to take matters into her own hands to get her dad’s company back. Meanwhile, Coop feels replaced when Laura makes a change in the office, which makes Coop think about her future.”
Then on October 17 comes episode two, titled “Don’t Sweat the Technique.” Its description reads, “With Spencer’s life hitting a rocky point, he takes some advice from JJ and Coop to embrace college life. Olivia and Billy’s suspicions about Coach Garrett resurface and cause tension between them and Jordan. Layla makes a power play that catches an unsuspecting Patience off-guard. Meanwhile, Asher struggles with trying to be JJ’s coach and maintaining their friendship.”
“All American” season five premieres Monday, October 10 at 8 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on The CW.
