In a press statement, Netflix Head of Comedy Tracey Pakosta said, “While this chapter is closing for our OG squad this October as they reach the end of High School, we are excited to bring a brand new cast of characters and stories to life in this On My Block spinoff. Netflix promised that stories about a “new Core Four,” not unlike the main characters of On My Block, will be in the spotlight.
In addition, Freeridge co-creators and co-showrunners Jamie Uyeshiro, Eddie Gonzalez, and Jeremy Haft revealed the series will be a more “female-driven show.” Oh, and if you’re a fan of the lovable “gnomies” seen in On My Block, they may just appear in Freeridge. The Freeridge PlotĪccording to a statement from Netflix, the plot of Freeridge will feature “a new crew of friends who may or may not have unleashed a deadly curse, kicking off an unforgettable adventure.” It sounds like this spinoff is going to dive more into the supernatural versus the realistic gang rivalry seen between the Santos and the Prophet$ of On My Block. Here’s a look at what’s to come on the upcoming new Netflix series. Now with Season 4 available on streaming and the announcement of Freeridge, fans will have more questions about how On My Block ends and where Freeridge begins.
Prior to Season 3, actor Sierra Capri, who plays Monse Finnie, told Bustle that she was “just glad that we’re able to represent kids who don’t get a voice.” In addition to the raw way in which these topics are handled on the show, the cast's diversity has also been celebrated. From the passing of Ruby’s cousin Olivia in Season 1 to gang affiliation, this show covers a lot. On My Block is a series fraught with harsh circumstances of inner-city life in the fictional town of Freeridge. The series announcement arrives days ahead of On My Block's fourth season premiere, airing on Oct. However, the spirit of the show will live on with its own spinoff called Freeridge. The young adult Netflix series On My Block is ending its run with its fourth and final season.
