Netflix’s On My Block is returning for a fourth season – which will also be its last.

The teen series, co-created by Lauren Iungerich (Awkward), Eddie Gonzalez and Jeremy Haft, is a coming-of-age comedy about four bright and street-savvy kids in LA. Starring Diego Tinoco, Sierra Capri, Jason Genao, Brett Gray, Jessica Marie Garcia and Ronnie Hawk, it follows the friends as they navigate their way through the triumph, pain and the newness of high school in the South Central neighbourhood.

Season 2 picked up in the aftermath of tragedy and Jamal’s discovery of the RollerWorld money, as Sierra Capri, Jason Genao, Brett Gray, Jessica Marie Garcia returned to reprise their roles. Season 3 saw the group tasked with find Lil Ricky, while new addition to the cast Kendra (Troy Leigh-Anne Johnson) brought a romantic interest into Jamal’s life and the friends prepared for life with one of their number away at boarding school.

Now, Netflix has confirmed that Sierra Capri, Jason Genao, Brett Gray, Diego Tinoco, Jessica Marie Garcia and Julio Macias will reunite for one last time, with Season officially given the green light. Here’s the video announcing the renewal:

Production kicks off for On My Block Season 3

2nd August 2019

Production is finally underway for Season 3 of On My Block, several months after Netflix announced that a third run had been commissioned.

The teen series, co-created by Lauren Iungerich (Awkward), Eddie Gonzalez and Jeremy Haft, is a coming-of-age comedy about four bright and street-savvy kids in LA. Starring Diego Tinoco, Sierra Capri, Jason Genao, Brett Gray, Jessica Marie Garcia and Ronnie Hawk, it follows the friends as they navigate their way through the triumph, pain and the newness of high school in the South Central neighbourhood.

Season 2 picked up in the aftermath of tragedy and Jamal’s discovery of the RollerWorld money, as Sierra Capri, Jason Genao, Brett Gray, Jessica Marie Garcia returned to reprise their roles.

“It’s a special little show. It did pretty well in its first season, but it’s actually increased its following quite well in season two and people really have fallen in love with the characters and that cast,” Netflix originals vp Cindy Holland told The Hollywood Reporter when announcing the third season. “It’s a great way to provide a window into that world for people who aren’t from it and also a mirror for the people who are from it.”

Indeed, the programme has been heralded as an example of Netflix’s commitment to diversity in storytelling – a flagship for its progressive approach to commissioning talent that has become higher in profile following the cancellation of One Day at a Time, The Get Down and Sense8. With that important role within Netflix’s line-up, and with shows such as Stranger Things and 13 Reasons Why turning its young cast members into rising stars, it is perhaps no surprise that Season 3 has been held up by salary negotiations.

Deadline reports that the four main cast members received $20,000 an episode in the first two seasons of the show, but aimed for something significantly higher. Netflix, however, reportedly categorises the show as a lower-budget project with a smaller cast and scale – Season 3 has also been trimmed to eight episodes, down from 10. Nonetheless, the talks have now completed and the young cast appear to have been successful in their drive for more equal pay with their counterparts from Netflix’s other popular youth-oriented shows.

Netflix renews On My Block for Season 3

2nd May 2019

Netflix has renewed On My Block for Season 3.

The teen series, co-created by Lauren Iungerich (Awkward), Eddie Gonzalez and Jeremy Haft, is a coming-of-age comedy about four bright and street-savvy kids in LA. Starring Diego Tinoco, Sierra Capri, Jason Genao, Brett Gray, Jessica Marie Garcia and Ronnie Hawk, it follows the friends as they navigate their way through the triumph, pain and the newness of high school in the South Central neighbourhood.

Season 2 picked up in the aftermath of tragedy and Jamal’s discovery of the RollerWorld money, as Sierra Capri, Jason Genao, Brett Gray, Jessica Marie Garcia returned to reprise their roles. Now, within weeks of its debut, Netflix has confirmed that the show will be back for a third time.

“It’s a special little show. It did pretty well in its first season, but it’s actually increased its following quite well in season two and people really have fallen in love with the characters and that cast,” Netflix originals vp Cindy Holland told The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s a great way to provide a window into that world for people who aren’t from it and also a mirror for the people who are from it.”

“The entire On My Block team is beyond thrilled and grateful to continue telling this uniquely fun and important story with a third season,” showrunner Iungerich added in a statement. “Four years ago, I had an idea to make a show for teenagers who didn’t see themselves represented on TV and to do it right and today we’ve all watched a generation of kids passionately express how this show makes them feel seen and heard. As filmmakers, we connect people vicariously, so it’s important to get that work right; to ensure it’s being told as authentically as possible, which means surrounding yourself with people — in front of and behind the camera — like the people in your narrative. Representation and inclusion makes our lives richer and the art better. At every turn. Because we can’t just ask each other to the party — we have to ask each other to dance.”

The renewal order arrives as Netflix is taking heat for two other cancellations: One Day at a Time, which is being shopped around elsewhere after three seasons, and Santa Clarita Diet, which was given the axe last week, also following its third run.
