Freeridge reunites Iungerich with fellow On My Block co-creators Gonzalez, and Haft. The series, which premiered in 2018, followed the adventures of inner-city teens living and loving in the fictional Los Angeles neighborhood, Freeridge across four seasons.
“…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. 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,” said Iungerich.
