‘All American’ season 6 might get delayed. Here’s why

Netflix’s popular show, All American, has been renewed for a sixth season, but fans may have to wait longer than usual for its arrival on the platform. However, while the good news is that the series will return, the bad news is that the exact release date remains unknown.

Previously, Netflix held an output deal with The CW allowing the streaming giant to carry all scripted shows from 2013 to 2019. As a result, All American is exclusively available on Netflix in the United States. The CW announced the renewal of the show for season 6 in January 2023, securing its place among the network's original scripted series for the 2023/24 season.

However, complications have arisen due to the ongoing strike by the Writers Guild of America (WGA). The strike has created uncertainty regarding the show's development and production timeline, especially if the scripts have not yet been completed. Initial reports suggested that production would begin in the summer of 2023, but with the strike in effect, the accuracy of those reports is questionable.


Consequently, it remains unclear whether All American can adhere to its typical October start date on The CW, which might result in a delayed mid-season launch. Consequently, predicting the release of “All American” season 6 on Netflix is challenging. Typically, Netflix receives new seasons of shows from its output deal with The CW approximately eight days after the season finale airs.

Season 5, for instance, premiered on Netflix on May 23, 2023, following the season finale on May 15. However, season 6 might experience a similar delay as season 3, which was postponed due to pandemic-related production disruptions, resulting in a mid-season launch.

Considering the circumstances, the earliest possibility for All American season 6 to arrive on Netflix in the US would be April/May 2024.
