Lauren Iungerich (Showrunner/Co-Creator/Executive Producer) tells Netflix’s Tudum, “The new core four of Freeridge don’t step into the shoes of our original [On My Block] crew.”

“They step into their own shoes, right alongside the legacy of the kids who came before them.”

Back from On My Block

“Through the lens of this new group of friends, we’ll see Freeridge as we know it and also explore a Freeridge we haven’t seen before.”

On My Block was a huge success for Netflix throughout its four-season run.

Jamie Uyeshiro (On My Block) and On My Block co-creators Eddie Gonzalez and Jeremy Haft executive-produce alongside On My Block co-creator Lauren Iungerich and Jamie Dooner.

“Some of the greatest comments we’ve heard about On My Block were from fans telling us that they felt seen and represented,” said Uyeshiro, Gonzalez and Haft in a joint statement when the show got a formal pickup.

Returning Faces, New Faces

“As we embark on Freeridge, a more female-driven show, we will continue to invest in authentic characters that represent our passionate audience… Oh, and there may be gnomies.”
