The popular Netflix docuseries Last Chance U will be headed to a third junior college program as it enters its fifth season of existence.

For the fifth season, Last Chance U will be headed to Laney College in Oakland, California for filming. The series will air in the summer of 2020.

“We feel fortunate to be picked up for a fifth season and feel equally lucky to be able to tell the story of the California JUCO system through the stories found at Laney College and in the city of Oakland, California,” said Last Chance U director Greg Whitley in an email to Esquire. “Coach Beam has had a Hall of Fame career, and as he begins his 40th year coaching we’re thrilled at the chance we’ll get to tell the stories found on the team, the school, and within the city of Oakland itself.”

Laney College is a perennial power at the junior college ranks and has produced more than 20 NFL players. It claimed the CCCAA championship in 2018.

Last Chance U‘s filming crew is already in Oakland shooting footage for next season. The docuseries featured East Mississippi Community College in Season 1 and Season 2 and Independence Community College in Season 3 and Season 4.
