"Leave It All to Me" is BACK.
If you haven't been able to get the instantly catchy iCarly theme song out of your head for the past decade, you're not alone. Now, ahead of the revival's premiere on Paramount+ on June 17, Teen Vogue has unveiled the new title sequence!
Series star Miranda Cosgrove recently told Seventeen that she “fought hard” to keep the original theme song in the new version, and it's that version that soundtracks the new title sequence. (Honestly, this song could still chart.) A new montage features the updated cast, featuring additions Laci Mosley (Harper) and Jaidyn Triplett (Millicent) alongside Nathan Kress (Freddie) and Jerry Trainor (Spencer). The first trailer for the show already hinted at plenty of hijinks and vlogging adventures to come, and the title sequence has plenty of falls, parties, outfits, and excited jumping to go around. “We went around a bunch of times, thinking of maybe re-recording the same song now or doing a different song,” she said to Seventeen. "But, for me, when I watch revivals, I always am hoping for the original theme song and I feel like none of them ever really stick with the original. So we ended up going with the same one in the end."
The new iCarly will focus on adult Carly, who is back in the same apartment building as the original show, but this time with her roommate Harper. Freddie now has a stepdaughter, Millicent, while Spencer is mysteriously very rich. Though Sam (Jennette McCurdy) won't be returning to the series, her absence will be discussed.
Miranda talked to Complex about how it feels to return to the iCarly universe now as an executive producer. “I’m in a whole different position now working on the revival than I was when I was a kid, because I’m actually an executive producer on it,” she told the outlet. “So I’m getting to help edit all the episodes and I get to read all the drafts and the scripts and give notes and everything. That’s just been a whole new thing for me. I’ve never done anything like this before, and it feels really good, going from being a kid on a show and not really having a whole lot of control over what my character did in episodes or anything like that, to now getting to be such a big part of the process."
