Written by Tariq on June 25, 2024

Daniel Ezra has played Spencer James on CW’s “All American” since Season 1, is expected to make guest appearances moving forward. According to our sister site Deadline, Ezra and showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll came to the decision to bring Spencer’s arc to a close ahead of Season 6. The announcement follows an especially eventual episode Monday where in — spoiler alert! — Spencer was drafted into the NFL. That was followed by a time jump that saw Spencer play in the Super Bowl and get engaged to Samantha Logan’s Olivia. “After making the difficult decision to leave All American, my sole focus became completing the journey of the most life-affirming character I’ve ever played in the manner he deserves. Thanks to Nkechi and the writers, I got my wish,” James said in a statement to Deadline. “Season 6 is ‘Spencer’s goodbye.’ I’ll miss him. I’ll miss our cast and crew. I hope it’s been as fun to watch him as it has been to play him.”
