'On My Block' Showrunner Talks Hopes & Plans For Possible Season 2
Like everyone else, JJJ is impatiently waiting for netflix to announce that On My Block is getting a second season.
The show, starring Sierra Capri, Jason Genao, Brett Gray, Diego Tinico, Ronni Hawk and Jessica Marie Garcia, is about four bright and street-savvy friends navigating their way through the triumph, pain and the newness of high-school set in LA’s South Central neighborhood.
One of the co-creators Eddie Gonzalez opened up in a recent interview about his personal hopes for season two, and what fans could expect.
“There are a lot of themes we’d like to explore,” he says. “Sadly, shootings like the one in the finale take place all over the country, so one of the themes we’d like to explore is survivor’s remorse and guilt.”
Eddie continues, pointing out the Goonies-themed treasure hunt, “With the Goonies storyline, it’s about ‘okay, you’ve now found money, now what?’”
“So we have a lot of ideas for the second season, including some more work on Oscar, so we’re hoping to continue telling these stories.”
Just last week, fans got #WhereIsOnMyBlock to trend on Twitter, urging the streaming service to renew the show. Check out some of the tweets below!
Honestly gonna need another season of #OnMyBlock ASAP bc they cannot just play with my feelings and get me attached to these characters and NOT tell me what happens next. Like @Netflix wyd? #WhereIsOnMyBlock

OK so why isn't #OnMyBlock being promoted the way that it should be? Diverse story line plus characters that you can root for and genuinely become invested in like I NEED MORE. Stop setting them up for failure @netflix give us a season 2!! #WhereIsOnMyBlock @OnMyBlockTv
