After six seasons as the star of the “All American,” Daniel Ezra is taking a step back. The actor will not return to the sports drama as a series regular in Season 7, though the CW says he will still remain an “integral part” of the franchise by appearing as a guest star.
The news comes after the airing of Season 6’s 13th episode on Monday night. Titled “Victory Lap,” the episode sees Spencer (Ezra) drafted into the NFL, followed by a time jump that shows him playing at the Super Bowl and getting engaged to Olivia (Samantha Logan). The final two episodes of Season 6 will follow Spencer and Olivia as they plan their wedding.
The decision was made by Ezra and showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll before production on Season 6 began.
