‘iCarly’ Reboot With Original Stars Miranda Cosgrove, Jerry Trainor & Nathan Kress Ordered By Paramount+

https://deadline.com/2020/12/icarly-...us-1234653334/

A new iteration of Nickelodeon’s iCarly is in the works. Paramount+, ViacomCBS’ upcoming SVOD service, has ordered a reboot of the iconic series for premiere in 2021. The new series will be produced by Nickelodeon Studios for Paramount+ and feature the return of original stars Miranda Cosgrove, Jerry Trainor and Nathan Kress. Additionally, producers Jay Kogen (Nickelodeon’s School of Rock, The Simpsons, Frasier) and Ali Schouten (Diary of a Future President, Champions, Merry Happy Whatever) have signed on to develop the series.

The original iCarly series, produced by Nickelodeon, ran from 2007-2012. Starring Cosgrove, Trainor, Kress and Jennette McCurdy, it followed a group of best friends creating a webcast while grappling with everyday problems and adventures. During its original run, iCarly became a pop-culture staple and regularly broke viewership records among audiences of all ages.

AS previously announced, ViacomCBS’ CBS All Access will be rebranded as Paramount+ in early 2021 as part of the service’s expansion to feature content from ViacomCBS’ portfolio of broadcast, news, sports and entertainment brands. ViacomCBS will also bring Paramount+ to international markets with an initial debut in Australia, Latin American and the Nordics in 2021.

Wait, no J-Mc? Loved the show...will definitely watch.

Watched this program religiously in my teenage years. Doesn’t surprise me that Jeannette McCurdy would decline involvement. I’m assuming Dan Schneider is not going to be involved either, right? That should mean less gratuitous shots of feet.

I assume the involvement of McCurdy and Grande ended with the short-lived Sam & Cat.

Well Ariana Grande wouldn't be in this anyway since she wasn't in the original iCarly. I can see why the others aren't involved, they've all grown up and the characters could simply have moved away, I didn't watch it so I don't know how old they were, but the show's been off 8 years now so they'd at least have graduated from college by now.

I couldn't be more thrilled about this news as I'm a huge fan of the show. It will be interesting to see how the show will work without McCurdy given that she was the 'other half' of the iCarly webshow, but I'm also not surprised that it appears she is not returning. I could take or leave Noah coming back as his character was much funnier in the early seasons of the show.

If you follow McCurdy on social media and listen to her podcast she explains that growing up the way she did, with a stage mom who pushed her into the industry, she was very unhappy growing up. She developed an eating disorder and a drinking problem. She said she's never been proud of any screen work she has done. Couple that with all of the Schneider rumors over the years, just sounds like a perfect storm. Listening to her now she sounds a lot happier, aware and in touch with her emotions and past so I don't imagine this would be something she'd be interested in, maybe a cameo or one episode.
