All American showrunner previews COVID-free season 3, incorporating Black Lives Matter

(Reminder: Spencer, played by Daniel Ezra, ended season 2 by convincing Coach Baker, played by Taye Diggs, to join him in returning to South Crenshaw.) EW spoke with showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll about the show's journey thus far and what comes next.

So I'm so happy that people are connecting to what we're doing on All American and it's providing people with some sense of comfort and joy.

Will All American be including the Black Lives Matter movement in season 3?

So on the show, we're going to continue to do what we do, which is shed light on these issues in a very personal way for our characters and in a very authentic and organic way for our characters, because unfortunately our teens don't get to escape some of these harsh realities.

We ended season 2 with everyone dispersing for summer, and so we're going to pick up at the end of summer and we're going to feel that time that they've been away from each other.

We're going to see that everyone's had their own experiences over the summer and they've now returned with some pretty major summer secrets.

And that's also in conjunction with Spencer and Billy moving over to South Crenshaw High.

How will Spencer and Billy being at South Crenshaw affect things?
