If you were smart and have a Netflix account, you binge watching new series On My Block faster than anything in your life.
And you also found out about the big finale that left you with more questions than answers – especially about Ruby and Olivia’s fate – however, the co-creators Lauren Iungerich and Eddie Gonzalez can’t really tell us anything about what the outcome will be.
Speaking with TVGuide, Lauren shared that they might get in trouble if they do.
“You need to ask Netflix if we’re getting another season,” she adds. “If we don’t get another season, then I think you know the answer: everyone’s dead. But hopefully we get another season to continue the storytelling. We’re so proud that the fans so far who have seen the show have been almost unanimously positive.”
Lauren and Eddie also opened up about how amazed and touched they are by fans’ reactions online.
“This show is so much more profound in so many ways,” Lauren says. “I can’t tell you how many kids in the last four days have direct messaged me and reached out to tell me that they had given up on telling their stories and being screenwriters or filmmakers and now with this show have had a fire lit in them to start working on their stuff again. And that is just profound.”
She adds, “To have this have that kind of impact and to light a fire under all these kids and young people who are ready to go out and do it for themselves and be voices in the world, it’s maybe the most meaningful thing that’s ever happened to me in my life besides having my children…There’s just so much love that came from making this show, and that people can see it and feel it watching the show, I don’t even know what to say.”
In the series, he stars as Ruby Martinez, a 14 year old Hispanic kid growing up in south central LA. In this group of friends, he lends the brains, who manages to find a way to talk himself out or accidentally into any situation.
Ruby is also described as a “ladies man who finally gets the opportunity to make his moves when a family friend has to move in after her parents get deported.”
Jason calls the new series “a depiction of diversity in the forefront, where this time, we (people of color) get to be the heroes.”
