This February, Netflix is premiering Freeridge, the spin-off to their hit series On My Block, which introduces a whole new group of friends. Set in the same fictional town, Freeridge is, like its predecessor, a coming-of-age comedy series that focuses on sisters and rivals, Gloria and Ines, and their friends Demi and Cameron. The show will highlight more of the social issues that On My Block did, but it does so alongside a new, supernatural storyline. It appears the friends have unleashed a dark curse, which causes chaos and misfortune to plague their lives on top of the trials and tribulations of adolescence.
Freeridge stars Keyla Monterroso Mejia as Gloria, the bubbly and passionate sister of the incredibly intelligent Ines, played by Bryana Salaz. Rounding out the spin-off’s main group are their best friends Demi, an optimistic romantic played by Ciera Riley Wilson, and Cameron, played by Tenzing Norgay Trainor, who has a crippling fear of dating girls, though boys have never been an issue.
Before all eight episodes of Freeridge begin streaming on Netflix on February 2, Collider’s Steve Weintraub spoke with the cast about the series. They talk about that “brutal” sisterly fight scene, titty twisters, and how well these “giggle buddies” got along on set. They also each share which episodes were their favorite and why, discuss the more serious aspects of the show, reveal who breaks character the easiest and who is most like their character in real life.
