How ‘All American’ Crafted A 100th Episode Filled With Nostalgia, Triumph & “Ghosts Of Football Fields Past”


Deadline spoke about All American's 100th episode with writers Nkechi Okoro Carroll and Chynna Ladage, as well as director and star Daniel Ezra

To help the weight of the moment sink in, Carroll and co-writer Chynna Ladage infused a heavy dose of nostalgia into the episode as well. Olivia turns down her book deal after her publisher insists she include details about her dad’s affair, potentially pumping the brakes on her career trajectory, but also probably opening the door to something new and, ultimately, more fruitful. (Maybe one day audiences will get to read what Carroll called a “beautiful scene that no one will ever see,” written by Ladage, featuring the main characters that was “part of the motivation” for the turning point in the championship game.)
