All American season 3 premieres in 2021 and will be 16 episodes
It’s going to be a long time until we get to see All American season 3, but we can expect a normal episode count for the upcoming season.
The CW recently announced All American season 3 and all new seasons of its shows will be bumped to January 2021, assuming all goes well with the current production delays and production is able to resume, according to a report from TV Line.
The network pushed season 3 to 2021 to give the creative team time to start production and finish enough episodes. With the COVID-19 pandemic, it would have been difficult to get the episodes filmed and ready to go by October, when The CW shows usually premiere.
Even with the delayed start to the season, The CW is still planning normal episodes counts for its upcoming seasons. The first two seasons of All American consisted of 16 episodes each, and we are expecting to see 16 episodes in the third season, as well.
Of course, the plans for the season are subject to change. There’s so much uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus right now, and we don’t know when production will begin for the new season.
I don’t think there’s any way that the release date is moved up, but there’s a possibility we don’t get to see season 3 until later than January 2021. Even if the new season does premiere then, there’s no guarantee we get to see all the episodes of the season.
Riverdale, The Flash and many other CW shows had the most recent seasons cut short because the coronavirus pandemic shut down production before the seasons were complete. Depending on what happens with the virus, there’s a chance that things could be shut down again and the season cut short.
This is a developing situation, and we’ll be sure to provide more updates as we find out.
For now, expect to see season 3 of the TV series in January 2021 and 16 episodes will be released over the course of next year.
All American season 3 will be added to Netflix eight days after the new season finale airs.
