Dave Bautista is gearing up for his next feature film project, with a director, writer, and cast already assembled for the upcoming production. The actor has had a quiet year as of late, as Bautista's only major film released this year was the Paul W.S. Anderson film In The Lost Lands, which Bautista starred in alongside Milla Jovovich, which received poor reviews upon its release. Now, the Guardians of the Galaxy actor will star in another action film in what sounds like an exciting ensemble piece with impressive talent behind it.

Netflix has canceled “On My Block” spinoff “Freeridge” after just one season, TheWrap has learned.

The eight-episode YA series starred Keyla Monterroso Mejia and Bryana Salaz, as, respectively, rival sisters Gloria and Ines, and featured an entirely Poc cast.

“Freeridge,” which premiered on Feb. 2, was ordered to series in September 2021 when it was announced that “On My Block” would be ending with its fourth season.

Netflix has canceled the comedy series “Freeridge” after just one season, Variety has learned.

The half-hour show was a spinoff of the Netflix YA comedy series “On My Block.” It was originally ordered to series back in September 2021 ahead of the fourth and final season of “On My Block.” “Freeridge” debuted its one and only eight-episode season at the streamer on Feb. 2.

According to the “Freeridge” official logline, it “is a coming of age comedy following sibling rivals Gloria and Ines and their friends Demi and Cameron who have unleashed a curse bringing dark misfortune into their lives.”

The cast included Keyla Monterroso Mejia as Gloria, Bryana Salaz as Ines, Tenzing Norgay Trainor as Cam, Ciara Riley Wilson as Demi, and Peggy Blow as Mariluna. Michael Solomon, Zaire Adams, J.R. Villarreal and Jean Paul San Pedro also starred in the show with Paula Garcés, Eric Gutierrez, Eme Ikwuakor and Raushanah Simmons...

Netflix has decided not to renew Latina-led teen dramedy Freeridge, a spinoff to On My Block, for a second season, Rolling Stone has learned. The news arrives just two months after the show first premiered on the streaming service in early February, according to a source.

The eight-episode show featured an entirely Poc cast and starred two Latinas — Keyla Monterroso Mejia and Bryana Salaz — in the main roles as rival sisters Gloria and Ines, respectively. Freeridge followed the siblings and their two best friends Cameron (Tenzing Norgay Trainor) and Demi...

Fans of Netflix's "On My Block" were passionate about the slice-of-life show that followed the lives of four friends in Freeridge, CA, as they navigated high school, romance, and socioeconomic hardships. The show ended in the fall of 2021 after four critically acclaimed seasons, and it's safe to say the young cast taking on the mantle of a brand-new core four in its spinoff, "Freeridge," - Keyla Monterroso Mejia (Gloria), Tenzing Norgay Trainor (Cameron), Ciara Riley Wilson (Demi), and Bryana Salaz (Ines) - have quite the legacy to live up to. However, they're the perfect group of up-and-comers to take on the challenge, because they love "On My Block" just as much as its fans.

"'On My Block' is so special. These characters, the actors who portrayed them are so special," Mejia tells Popsugar of the original show, admitting she would probably have doubts about the series if...

If you're an "On My Block" fan and thought the show's fourth and final season was the last you'd see of the California town the coming-of-age series is set in, we have good news: Netflix's straight-to-series "On My Block" spinoff, "Freeridge," is finally here.

"Freeridge," which premiered its first season on Feb. 2, features a cast full of fresh faces to fill the void "On My Block" quartet Monse (Sierra Capri), Ruby (Jason Genao), Jamal (Brett Gray), and Cesar (Diego Tinoco) left behind. Although the spinoff is named after the fictitious town "On My Block" took place in, "Freeridge" explores an unseen side of the inner-city neighborhood with our new core four - Gloria (Keyla Monterroso Mejia), Ines (Bryana Salaz), Cam (Tenzing Norgay Trainor), and Demi (Ciara Riley Wilson).

On Jan. 6, Netflix released the first trailer for the series. In it, the gang are convinced that they've unleashed a curse...

To read the logline of Freeridge, you might assume it’d fit neatly into Netflix’s extensive catalog of supernatural teen shows, alongside Wednesday or Stranger Things. Its central premise involves a curse, one that our 15ish-year-old heroes fear has befallen them thanks to a mysterious old box and their increasingly desperate efforts to undo its effects.

But the “ooky-spooky” stuff turns out to be less the main event than the clothesline on which the On My Block spinoff hangs its real, relatable concerns: the uncertainty of the future, the confusion of young love, the comfort and the burden of family. And while Freeridge emerges as a lighter show than its predecessor, it shares the same empathetic heart, playful sense of humor and, above all, deeply endearing affection for its young leads.

The unofficial leader of Freeridge‘s central quartet is Gloria (Keyla Monterroso Mejia), the type of problem-solving go-getter...

The On My Block universe is expanding at Netflix.

Netflix on Friday unveiled the official teaser for the spinoff series, Freeridge, premiering February 2, 2023.

All eight episodes will be available on day one, which keeps with Netflix tradition.

As for what this new chapter is about, check out the logline:

Freeridge is a coming of age comedy following sibling rivals Gloria and Ines and their friends Demi and Cameron who have unleashed a curse bringing dark misfortune into their lives.

On My Block fans will be able to revisit the town of Freeridge with the 2023 spinoff named after the city. Netflix just announced a February 2, 2023 premiere date and revealed Freeridge will be a bit more mystical than On My Block. It will also center around a new core four, played by Keyla Monterroso Mejia (Gloria), Bryana Salaz (Ines), Tenzing Norgay Trainor (Cam), and Ciara Riley Wilson (Demi).

Series co-creator and showrunner Lauren Iungerich confirmed both shows rely on mystery to drive the story. Iungerich spoke with Netflix’s Tudum and described how the leads in the spinoff differ from the original series.

A new core four is taking over in Netflix’s “Freeridge,” the spinoff series to the streamer’s coming-of-age dramedy “On My Block.” The show, which just debuted first-look images that you can view below, will premiere on Netflix on Feb. 2.

“Freeridge” is billed as a coming-of-age comedy following sibling rivals Gloria (“Abbott Elementary’s” Keyla Monterroso) and Ines (Bryana Salaz) and their friends Demi (Ciara Riley Wilson) and Cameron who have unleashed a curse bringing dark misfortune into their lives. The plotline harks back to original series “On My Block,” where an ensemble of four friends hunts for a legendary treasure that threatens to upend their lives.
