Netflix canceled comedy series Freeridge after just one season. Diversity found out.

The half-hour show was a spin-off of the Netflix YA comedy series On My Block. The series was originally ordered back in September 2021 ahead of On My Block’s fourth and final season. Freeridge debuted its first and only eight-episode season on the streamer on February 2.

According to Freeridge’s official logline, it is “a coming-of-age comedy about sibling rivals Gloria and Inez and their friends Demi and Cameron who cast a curse, bringing dark misfortune to their lives.”

The cast included Kayla Monterroso Mejia as Gloria, Bryan 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, while Paula Garces, Eric Gutiérrez, Aimé Ikwuakor and Raushana Simmons reprized their roles from On My Lot.

The series was created by On My Block co-creators Lauren Jungerich, Eddie Gonzalez and Jeremy Haft, along with On My Block co-producer Jamie Ueshiro and On My Block co-executive producer Jamie Duner. They are all credited as co-creators and executive producers of the new series, with Jungerich serving as showrunner. Jungerich remains part of the overall deal with Netflix.

The current Netflix comedy roster includes hit shows like Cobra Kai, Upshaw and Emily in Paris, though Cobra Kai is currently gearing up for its sixth and final season.

Cobra Kai, The Upshaws, Never Have I Ever and Emily in Paris are some of the most popular and highly regarded comedies on television. This 90s show recently launched a successful first season. The streamer’s recent comedy series bookings include an untitled series starring Kristen Bell, an untitled series starring Ted Danson, and a third season of “Girls5Eva” as the show transitions from Peacock.

You don’t put them on the market because you fear they might retain traces of Hitler’s DNA that unscrupulous scientists could use to clone him, or at least grow Hitler’s lab meat.

You’re worried that they might fall into the hands of neo-Nazi extremist waiters.

You preserve them as a reminder to future generations that elegant furnishings are no excuse for unspeakable evil.

The Nazi napkin drawer is the last place anyone would think to look for an Afikoman.

Whatever you say, they go great with Mar-a-Lago napkin rings. ♦
