Netflix orders On My Block spinoff series Freeridge
Ahead of On My Block season 4’s premiere on Oct. 4, Netflix has announced an On My Block spinoff series titled Freeridge, and we can’t wait to see what this new teen series is going to be about!
On Monday, Sept. 27, Netflix ordered an On My Block spinoff series that will be created by the same creators of On My Block: Lauren Iungerich, Eddie Gonzalez and Jeremy Haft. The same producers that worked on On My Block, such as Jamie Dooner and Jamie Uyeshiro, will also be a part of the upcoming spinoff, Freeridge. However, in the new series, Uyeshiro will co-showrun with Gonzalez and Haft.
When it was announced that On My Block season 4 was going to be the final season, the internet was in an uproar because fans of the hit Netflix original series weren’t ready to see this show come to an end. However, it wasn’t completely shocking because the number four seems to be Netflix’s lucky number. Many of their original series seem to run for four seasons before coming to an end.
We think that four seasons is enough to tell a complete story. Well, I guess you could say it depends on how many episodes are in each season and what genre the show is. In On my Block‘s case, four seasons was perfect!
If we’re being honest, the teen series could have ended at season 3 if the writers had wrapped everything up instead of adding more problems and situations for the core four to face. But fans (I, included) were ecstatic to see Monse, Cesar, Ruby and Jamal one last time!
Even though Oct. 4 will be a very emotional day for us OMB fans, at least we know Freeridge is in the works. So, what is this On My Block spin-off going to be about? Are the core four going to be in Freeridge? We’re about to tell you everything we know about this upcoming On My Block spinoff series.
What is the On My Block spinoff Freeridge about?
Not much is known about the upcoming spinoff, but we do know that the new series will be about a new group of friends living in the fictional neighborhood of Freeridge. Variety reported that this new crew will find themselves in trouble after possibly unleashing a deadly curse.
A deadly curse!? Will supernatural elements be added to this new spinoff? Maybe the new crew will play a wicked game that unleashes spirits into Freeridge. Of course, this is just a guess, but based on the information provided on the new series, it looks like Freeridge won’t be that similar to On My Block. Other than the fact that it follows a group of teenagers.
Who will be in the cast of the On My Block spinoff, Freeridge?
Netflix announced the spinoff series but didn’t reveal who will be in the cast. We know that the new series will include a brand new cast, but will we see some of the old characters from On My Block?
Since the new show will be set in Freeridge, we think that some (if not all) of the characters from On My Block will make an appearance. I mean, it would only make sense to bring back the OG characters in some way, right?
Although the cast wasn’t revealed by Netflix, in a joint statement from Uyeshiro, Gonzalez and Haft, they made sure to include that the spinoff will be “female driven.” This means that we can expect many of the characters to be female.
Of course, more information about this upcoming spinoff will come out, and you can count on us to update you! But for now, get ready to watch the final season of On My Block only on Netflix on Oct. 4!
