After a second season that saw characters struggling with substance abuse, cancer, and the aftermath of a gun violence, fans couldn't be blamed for being a bit nervous about the fate of All American's cast. As of now, though, it appears that all of the main cast members are set to return for the show's third season.
According to ScreenRant, the series' stars Daniel Ezra and Taye Diggs, who play Spencer James and coach Billy Baker respectively, will be coming back for season 3. The website also reports that Samantha Logan, Greta Onieogou, Jalyn Hall, and Bre-Z are all also slated to reprise their roles. According to Deadline, one fan-favorite character, Chelsea Tavares' Patience, has been promoted to series regular status, a welcome announcement for viewers who have enjoyed watching the young, up-and-coming musician from South Crenshaw High.
This announcement, however, leaves a question mark over the heads of characters such as Asher (Cody Christian) and Jordan (Michael Evans Behling) who went without mention. Considering there were no major goodbyes in the season 2 finale, it seems likely that they, too, will be signing back on for season 3.
As for new faces, none have been announced just yet. Considering Spencer's move back to South Crenshaw High for his senior year, though, we wouldn't be surprised to see a fresh crop of new characters pop up next season.
