On My Block is coming to an end.
Netflix has renewed its breakout comedy from co-creator Lauren Iungerich for a fourth and final season. The final round of 10 episodes (up two from season three) will resume in early March. It s unclear if the final season will air this year or next.
Stars Sierra Capri, Jason Genao, Brett Gray, Diego Tinoco, Jessica Marie Garcia and Julio Macias will all return for the fourth season of the coming-of-age comedy set in an inner-city Los Angeles neighborhood.
The renewal news comes after central stars Capri, Genao, Gray and Tinocoall, joined by Garcia, negotiated sizable salary increases that included a potential fourth and fifth season. The decision to end the series comes as the five will see their per-episode fees jump from $200,000 for seasons one and two to $650,000 for season three. As part of the July 2019 renegotiation, the cast was poised to see their pay bump to $850,000 for season
Netflix has a way of making
On My Block fans wait an aggressively long time for any updates or renewal news between seasons. (And polite yet firm tweets do absolutely nothing to rush the streamer along. Ask this writer how she knows.) But after waiting nearly 11 months after the premiere of the third season, Netflix finally announced a fourth and final season of the hilarious dark comedy on Friday afternoon. Praise Juanita and all of Chivo’s loyal gnomes, we just might get some closure after all.

The announcement came in the form of the following quick reel, which comes bearing good news and not much else:
However, a flash-forward moment revealed this wasn’t going to happen as the group will disband.
The series of clips showed Monse hanging out with her new friends and the picture of her Freeridge gang gathering dust in the corner.
Back in Freeridge, Jamal somehow becomes part of the cool gang at school and he and Ruby are no longer friends as they give each other a frosty look as they pass one another.
On the brighter side, Ruby and Jasmin will still be together, seen proudly holding hands around the school.
