How Old Is the Cast of On My Block? An Age Investigation

The Netflix teen drama On My Block centers on a quartet of teenage friends in an inner-city Los Angeles neighborhood, navigating typical teen problems like love and school alongside more dangerous concerns. While there are some supporting characters who are older, for the most part, the series focuses on its young teen ensemble, who are just in high school.

It's become something of a popular practice for TV shows to cast much older actors to play teenage characters, resulting in characters who don't exactly look the way we remember looking as teens. We decided to check out On My Block and see if this holds true for its cast or not. Check out the ages of some of the main cast members ahead!
