For three seasons, ‘All American’ has been one of CW’s most consistent ratings winners.

Inspired by the life of professional football player Spencer Paysinger,  the sports drama – which has consistently captured over 1 million viewers per episode – stars Daniel Ezra, Bre-Z, Taye Diggs, Geffri Maya, and more.

A testament to the show’s enduring popularity came in December 2020 when it was announced ‘All American’ would get a spinoff that follows young Black athletes from across the U.S. who are learning to deal with the pressures, lows, and highs associated with life at an HBCU.

Titled ‘All American: Homecoming,’ the new extension of the franchise stars Maya as “Simone Hicks” as well as Cory Hardrict, Peyton Alex Smith, Kelly Jenrette, and more.

Ahead of its February 21 premiere, look inside to get a peek at its first season via the official trailer.

10 years after her untimely death, the perdurable legacy of Whitney Houston – one of music history’s brightest stars ever – lives on.

Amid reports her estate continues to rake in big bucks for media, merchandise, and events based on her likeness (i.e. hologram concert, documentaries, etc.), its revenue – which has quadrupled in the years since the singer’s passing – is set to expand even more thanks to a number of new projects in the works slated for release next year.

In honor of Black History Month, TV star Tia Mowry teamed up with her TV moms Jackée Harry (‘Sister Sister’) and Loretta Devine (‘Family Reunion’) to dish about the importance of Black representation in front of and behind the cameras.
