All American: Homecoming is young adult sports drama set against the backdrop of the HBCU, aka historically Black colleges and universities, experience at Bringston University, where Black excellence is a way of life.
In the season two premiere, Simone is now a starting player on the Bringston University tennis team.
However, this was a position that was acquired following the injury of her frenemy Thea, and Thea didn’t let Simone forget that in the finale.
The series follows Simone, a young tennis hopeful from Beverly Hills who is trying to fight her way back after some time away from the court; Damon, an elite baseball player from Chicago who is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders; JR, Damon’s fellow baseball player and childhood friend; Thea, the super-competitive queen bee of the Bringston tennis team; and Keisha, the school’s unofficial mayor who must help Simone learn how to live her best life.
As they contend with the high stakes of college sports, Simone and Damon must also navigate the highs and lows of unsupervised early adulthood at a prestigious HBCU.
