On My Block season 4 is going to be the ultimate season of the hit coming-of-age series. Here’s everything we all know thus far about On My Block season 4 including when we’re expecting it to hit Netflix, who will feature and when production will start and finish.
The third season of On My Block followed on from the cliffhangers that left us reeling from season two. It once more featured an outstanding soundtrack and most significantly , made us binge so quickly that we’re once more expecting a replacement season.
After an incredibly long awaited news on the longer term of the show, it finally came at the beginning of 2021.
Has Netflix renewed On My Block for season 4?
Official renewal status: Renewed for the ultimate season on January 31st, 2021
After an incredibly long wait from March 2020, we got official confirmation in January 2021 that the show would be returning . It’s worth noting that we heard back in July 2020 that Netflix had been actively developing the fourth season but with COVID-19, it seems any decision on greenlighting the fourth season was held back until it had been clearer where the dust was getting to settle.
As we mentioned at the start , the simplest news regarding the longer term of On My Block is that Netflix signed an overall effect on Lauren Lungerich (who is the showrunner for the series) back in March 2020. She grows the large growing list of creators and talent working with Netflix exclusively.
When the deal was announced, Netflix’s Brian Wright said the following: “We’re thrilled to continue working together with her on On My Block and appear forward to other future projects.” That certainly suggests, a minimum, that On My Block features a strong future ahead.
The OMB writer’s account, naturally, is additionally hoping for a fourth season.
After months of waiting, speculation, and sometimes agony, Netflix announced on January 28th that it might be returning for a fourth season. The announcement came with a video that says “Their Story Isn’t Over”
When will On My Block season 4 get on Netflix?
Given the coronavirus outbreak disrupting almost everything concerning production, it’s super difficult to predict the longer term immediately .
Around the time of the renewal, The Hollywood Reporter stated that production was to begin in March 2021 which makes it unclear whether the series would be ready to squeeze into 2021 or not. Rumors have said the show could come as late as March 2022. We suspect it’ll be a touch before that.
Further to the present , we learned in February 2021 that production on season 4 is to start on March 22nd, 2021, and wrap on June 7th, 2021.
We can confirm that the series bound up on June 6th, 2021 with a post from the writers on the set.
Why has the show ended/been canceled?
One of the largely publicized reasons for the show potentially ending is the spiraling costs of keeping the show going. After a really public battle to urge a pay rise, the show’s main stars have seen their pay bump from $200k per episode in seasons one and two up to $850k for season 4. That number would’ve hit $1m had the show been renewed for season five.
What to expect from season 4 of On My Block
Let’s quickly recap the ending to season three before looking (and predicting) the longer term of On My Block.
The finale once more had us tripping with a two-year time jump happening towards the top of the episode and saw all of our favourite characters grow up living their older lives.
What we’re expecting is that the series will bridge the gap between season three and therefore the ending time jump.
DigitalSpy also put together an excellent list of other questions that require to be answered in season 4.
Specifically, we’re hoping to seek out what happens to Monse and Cesar between now and therefore the time jump.
Perhaps most significantly , we should always learn more about Spooky, has he completely gotten out of the gang life? The time jump certainly suggests he has.
Cesar has risen to the highest of the gang but how he rose thereto position is a simple plot point to fill.
Of course, with a time jump, we’re wanting to know who is keeping in-tuned . Will the gang have a reunion or has the group splintered?
Brett Gray recently shared a number of his thoughts on the show and what we will expect from season 4 in an Instagram live.
Eagle-eyed folks over at Reddit noticed that the official rating had changed recently from a TV-14 to a TV-MA. This tells us that season 4 is going to be tons darker in tone and have more mature themes.
