TRAILERS
Netflix dropped the official teaser for “Freeridge,” a spin-off series of “On My Block,” complete with sibling rivalry, teenage recklessness and possibly even a curse.
When teenage friends Cameron, Demi, Gloria and Ines purchase a hand-carved box they believe contains special powers, they soon start experiencing misfortune they attribute to being cursed. The coming-of-age story also navigates the hardships of sisterhood, emphasizing the dynamic between siblings Gloria and Ines.
“On My Block” creators Lauren Iungerich, Eddie Gonzalez and Jeremy Haft returned to create the new series along with Jamie Uyeshiro and Jamie Dooner, though the original cast will not appear in the spin-off. Fresh faces to the franchise include Tenzing Trainor as Cameron, Ciara Riley Wilson as Demi, Keyla Monterroso Mejia as Gloria and Bryana Salaz as Ines.
Production on “Freeridge” wrapped over the summer, and the series is scheduled for a Feb. 2 release on Netflix. Season 1 contains eight 30-minute episodes that all drop at once.
Watch the official teaser trailer below.

PODCASTS
HBO Max’s “The Last of Us Podcast,” an official series companion podcast, is set to launch the same day as the “The Last of Us” series premiere for a deep dive behind-the-scenes of each episode.
Hosted by Troy Baker, who voices Joel Miller in the video game upon which “The Last of Us” is based, the podcast brings together series creators Craig Marzin and Neil Druckmann to discuss adapting the project from one screen to another.
“The Last of Us” follows a smuggler named Joel (Pedro Pascal) who is hired to guide 14-year-old Ellie (Bella Ramsey) to safety across the U.S. in a post-apocalyptic future.
New episodes of the podcast will be released each Sunday, corresponding with the weekly release of the HBO series, for a total of nine episodes.
