Wake up the members of our nation: The iCarly cast has officially reunited!
Filming for the iCarly revival is expected to commence in March 2021 for a premiere later this year, and it seems like production is already ramping up, as Cosgrove today (Jan. 27) posted a special behind-the-scenes photo on Instagram of Trainor, Kress and herself having a mini-reunion! 'iCarly Set 1' can also be spotted on the fake wall behind them!
Jerry also shared the photo, writing "Prepare yourselves" in the caption, as did Nathan, who captioned the pic "My people."
Nickelodeon also shared the photo, saying "so excited to see these faces together again".
iCarly starred Miranda as the titular Carly Shay, a teen who starred on the popular web series iCarly alongside her best friend Sam Puckett, played by Jennette McCurdy. Nathan portrayed Freddy Benson, Carly's neighbor and the show's tech producer, while Jerry appeared as Carly's older brother and guardian Spencer.
Jay Kogen (School of Rock, The Simpsons, Frasier) and Ali Schouten (Diary of a Future President, Champions, Merry Happy Whatever) have signed on to develop the update. They also will executive produce and serve as co-showrunners.
The photo also seems to confirm that Jennette won't be involved in the revival. Kogen revealed that the door is open for the actor to re-join the show if she wants to. She previously starred in the spin-off Sam & Cat opposite Ariana Grande. In addition, Noah Munck, who portrayed Carly's pal Gibby Gibson, is also nowhere to be seen.
While many fans were disappointed to learn that Jennette possibly would not return to the series, it seems the actor is focusing on new projects ahead. On her podcast Empty Inside, the former Nick star has interviewed performers like comedian Taylor Tomlinson and American Idol runner-up David Archuleta.
Last December, Nathan took to Instagram to share the good news of the show's revival, writing that this news was "a little something to look forward to in 2021."
While Miranda hasn't posted much about the iCarly reboot, she did send some love to co-star Jerry last January with a throwback photo from their time on set. She wrote on Instagram, "Happy Birthday to a perfect human @jerrytrainor."
One thing is certain: It seems everyone is thrilled to be reunited.
We also have some more insight to the new show, thanks to a series of tweets from producer Jay Kogen. What will the title of the show be? Will the Pear Phone be making a comeback? Find out below!:
The stars and the studio are partners and learn about the stories we want to do and give their input. I'm not sure the title yet.

The studio is Awesomeness. The network is Paramount +. And no one compares it to the old show at all. It's a new show and they take it as a new show.

Likely. Yes.

In our shows universe there are Pear phones and Apple phones.

We are bringing iCarly more into the real world. It's not a DanWarp show and it's not for kids. So there will be charges.

It makes sense to me. I actually think it's funny both the real world and the former iCarly world.

I think it's funny that Pear was never equivalent. Their products were second rate and break all the time but cheaper than Apple. But Spencer is Pear brand loyal even though his stuff doesn't work. While Freddie and Carly have moved on.

Not saying.
— Jay Kogen (@JayKogen) January 27, 2021
The original iCarly series is currently available to stream on CBS All Access/Paramount+, with the first two seasons also heading to Netflix in February.
