Freeridge was created by Lauren Iungerich, Eddie Gonzalez, Jeremy Haft, Jamie Dooner and Jamie Uyeshiro.
The coming-of-age teen comedy series stars Keyla Monterroso Mejia, Bryana Salaz, Tenzing Norgay Trainor, Ciara Riley Wilson and Peggy Blow, with Zaire Adams, Paula Garces, Eric Gutierrez, JeanPaul SanPedro, J.R. Villarreal and Michael Solomon in recurring roles.
The story follows sibling rivals Gloria (Mejia) and Ines (Salaz) and their friends Demi (Wilson) and Cameron (Trainer) who live in the inner-city Los Angeles neighborhood known as Freeridge. Their lives are turned upside down when they unleash a curse that brings dark misfortune to their lives.
The spin-off was ordered to series in September 2021 ahead of the launch of the fourth and final season of On My Block. Netflix released the eight-episode first season of Freeridge on February 2 of this year.
Why was the series canceled? A curse? The series was on Netflix's Top 10 list for English-language series for one week with 8.3 million hours watched. Then it dropped off the list. These days, new Netflix series that fail to reach 100 million hours of viewing in their first week are often doomed to be canceled. It seems that Freeridge is no exception.
