‘All American: Homecoming’s Sylvester Powell Reacts To Cancellation: Grateful “For The Opportunity To Bring This Character To Life”
deadline.comWe learned earlier today that after three seasons has come to an end. Sylvester Powell, who portrayed Jessie “JR” Raymond on the series was the first to react on social media.
Powell expessed his gratitude “for the opportunity to be able to bring this character to life for y’all over these past few years,” he wrote in a post on Instagram.
He captioned the post next to a video of himself and the entire cast as Season 3 wrapped. As for the cancellation, he said “It’s not a sad thing that shows come to an end at some point its just apart of the journey and I LOVE what I do.” All American: Homecoming executive producer and showrunner Nkechi Okoro Carroll earlier said she was “devastated” to learn that the show would not be moving forward with a fourth season. “We made this show for the culture and thank our loyal audience and fans for taking this ride with us,” she added in her statement. “We made this show so that our community, our kids (and their dreams), could be seen and celebrated every week and we are proud to say we accomplished that mission… Especially with this exciting final season which we can’t wait to show you all.
So with a heavy but proud heart, I give one final shoutout to our favorite Bringston Lions!” You can read Powell’s entire message below.
