Where Will On My Block Characters Be In 5 Years?

About this video
Over the past four seasons, the diverse and unique-yet-relatable characters on Netflix's "On My Block" have become like family to us, and it's no different among the castmembers themselves! Now it's time to say goodbye to these plucky inner-city Los Angeles teens in their final season, and Young Hollywood catches up with the actors via Zoom to do just that! Julio Macias (Spooky), Brett Gray (Jamal), Jason Genao (Ruby), Sierra Capri (Monse), Diego Tinoco (Cesar), and Jessica Marie Garcia (Jasmine) chat with us about how COVID protocols made filming the final season difficult, not just physically but emotionally, and how their interpersonal relationships off-camera have evolved since Season 1. They also speculate on what their characters would be doing 5 years from now, plus we play a game of "Who's Most Likely To" to find out who is most likely to forget their lines, who's the biggest simp, and more!

So do you.
Season 4 is about to come out. Do you guys think it's the best season yet?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Season 1.
I would say for me.
I don't think it'd be season 1 for me. I love you though.
Yeah, season 1 is yeah. It's a staple.
How how close would you say were you in season 1 versus how close are you guys now with season 4?
Oh my gosh. I think we were less close. I think we were less close season 4. Season 1, we were like, who I don't know what I'm doing in LA. Let's live together. We went everywhere together. Oh yeah. Only friends. We did everything.
See, I feel the opposite. I will maybe because I didn't live with you guys, but I felt so much closer to y'all season 4 than I did season 1. But I think it was cuz I was a guest star, so I was like there a couple days and then like, I'm gone.
I feel closer in a different way. Like it's that close that we're so close now. We don't have to see each other every day. We're like, oh, that's like before, like you said, when we were living together, I feel like we were still getting to know each other.
Yeah. We're like, oh, we have to become close. We're about to We're about to work for the next 5 years together. We're married now. I'm like, stay in your room.
Yes.
And I see you with your bottom. I love it.
What was the behind the scenes like for season 4? What's the vibe like when you guys are off camera?
Well, it was tough 'cause it was COVID.
Yeah, it was our first season doing all the COVID uh regulations, masks, and uh shields and all of that. So we had to stay apart from each other.
Yeah. We had to rehearse with our with our shields. We're in bubbles.
Yeah, do the kissing scenes with like the shields on there. So it's like super awkward, but
Slightly isolating but then they came off and like, oh, there you are.
Yeah. I know. What they don't know is that.
We don't.
When we got to the trailers, it was it was lit. It was it was off. It was lit. No, um, it was it was hard too because we're so close to our crew as well. So we couldn't be around them and like have those like last moments together. So it was actually it was a tough season. Like, I mean, I guess, of course, this pandemic is tough on everybody, but it it was it was hard because it kind of stole our our last season.
Yeah, like we showed up the first day like immediately like, oh, I can't hug you.
No, exactly. Yeah. You can't hear anything with those masks. I'm like, what did you say? Wait a minute. What did you?
Yeah. And it is pretty bittersweet because it was your last season. So, how do you guys feel knowing do you think you'll keep your characters like in your heart?
Absolutely. Forever. I wish I had like a little toy or something just to have for something.
Or how about a Teen Choice Award that's still at my house that's yours?
How am I going to mail a surfboard home?
I don't know, but take it. His car's at my house. We're all we're at we're too close. So like not only we're too close. Not only is it our characters, but just as humans like we really are like that ridiculous like family. Like we're so dysfunctional, but we're like yeah, I wouldn't do for any of them.
Same.
So it I'm we'll miss our characters but definitely not each other.
Yeah.
