Netflix's new comedy-drama, Freeridge, premieres on the streaming platform on Thursday, February 2, 2023.
The series is a spinoff of the hit comedy series On My Block. It centers around four friends who unintentionally set off a curse that could have devastating consequences, and try to undo it.
Here's a short description of the show, as per Netflix's Tudum:
''A spin-off of On My Block debuting Feb. 2, Freeridge introduces us to siblings Gloria (Keyla Monterroso Mejia) and Ines (Bryana Salaz) in a fearless bare-knuckle schoolyard brawl. There are flips — and a few moves that should be knockouts. The surrounding crowd of screaming classmates loves it. You will too.''
The series is helmed by noted writer and director Lauren Iungerich and stars Bryana Salaz and many others portraying key roles.
