Freeridge plot

After the standout success of On My Block, fans were initially surprised to learn that the series was coming to an end in its fourth and final season. But lucky for us all, the show's creators weren't quite done with Freeridge.

After developing On My Block, Lauren Iungerich, Eddie Gonzalez and Jeremy Haft are back to bring Freeridge to life with co-creators Jamie Uyeshiro and Jamie Dooner.

Named after the fictional Los Angeles neighbourhood that On My Block takes place in, Freeridge follows a new group of friends who may or may not have unleashed a deadly curse, kicking off an unforgettable adventure.

It's set to bring a heavy dose of misfortune into their lives but amidst the usual tribulations of their teenage years, will they be able to cope?

Is there a trailer for Freeridge?

There most certainly is! And although the premise makes the series sound slightly scary and serious, the trailer proves that Freeridge is going to be a light-hearted, comedic hit that viewers will lap up in no time.

Watch the trailer below.

Freeridge is coming to Netflix on Thursday 2nd February. Sign up for Netflix from £6.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
