- All American concluded its eight-season run on The CW on Monday with its series finale, ending a run that began on the network in 2018.
- Daniel Ezra, who has portrayed lead character Spencer James since the series premiere, directed the final episode himself.
- The finale was characterized in the source as "emotional" and "moving," marking a full-circle moment as Ezra stepped behind the camera to close out his character's arc.
- Warner Bros. Television served as the studio behind the long-running sports drama throughout its run on The CW.
- Ezra told the source that Spencer James "will be with me forever," signaling a personal farewell from the actor-director to his defining role.
Why it matters: After eight seasons and over 150 episodes, The CW loses one of its longest-running scripted originals, and Daniel Ezra — who grew up on-screen as Spencer James from a teenager to an adult — closes his own narrative by directing the send-off, a rare dual actor-director credit on a network drama finale.
