All American Season 6: Exciting Unscripted Plans Delay Premiere to Midseason on CW!
All American Season 6 faces a delay, leaving fans eagerly waiting for its return alongside other scripted shows Find out why the highly anticipated season won't be back anytime soon
The CW has decided to delay the airing of All American season 6 and prioritize their unscripted programming instead. Despite being renewed in January 2023, the long-running sports drama will now air during midseason, instead of its original fall schedule. This change is likely due to the ongoing writers strike for fair wages. Additionally, the legal drama 61st Street has also been moved to midseason. In place of these shows, The CW will be showcasing unscripted shows and reality competitions such as FBoy Island, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Masters of Illusion, and World’s Funniest Animals.
Why All American Season 6 (& Other Scripted Shows) Won't Be Back Soon
The CW's decision to move All American to midseason reflects their hopeful anticipation that the writers strike will conclude by the new year. However, current reports indicate that the WGA and the AMPTP, representing studios and streaming services, are far from reaching a resolution. While a disputed report suggested that major Hollywood studios intend to wait for writers to exhaust their finances before resuming negotiations, other obstacles hinder the resumption of production.
The actors' guild, SAG-AFTRA, has yet to reach an agreement of their own, potentially leading to an actors' strike. Consequently, actors would be unable to partake in filming, interviews, photoshoots, and other media engagements related to their projects. Some optimistically argue that the actors' strike could exert pressure on the AMPTP to negotiate with the WGA, ultimately allowing shows like All American season 6 to resume their storytelling.
If SAG-AFTRA and WGA's demands for fair pay and contracts are met, the production of All American season 6 and the release of new episodes will still face a delay, as executives have emphasized. The initial priority is ensuring that all individuals associated with these popular shows receive a fair agreement for the writers and actors in their respective guilds.
