Paramount+’s iCarly reboot will not return for a fourth season, it has been announced.
“iCarly will not be returning for a fourth season on Paramount+. The series had a great three-season run and delivered on what fans really wanted to see with Carly and Freddie finally getting together. We want to thank the entire cast, the writers, directors and producers along with the whole crew for their dedication, creativity and talent,” said a Paramount+ spokesperson told Variety.
Ordered in 2020, the rebooted series picked up with adult Carly Shay (Miranda Cosgrove), 10 years older, as she reunited with her brother Spencer (Jerry Trainer) and longtime friend and cameraman Freddie (Nathan Kress), and sets out to revamp her popular web show with the help of old and new friends. Laci Mosley joined the original cast as Carly’s new friend, Harper, along with Jaidyn Triplett, who portrayed Freddie’s stepdaughter Millicent.
The third season of the iCarly reboot, which streamed weekly on Paramount+ earlier this year, ended on a massive cliffhanger, in which fans were about to learn the identity of Carly's mother, who has remained of the series biggest mysteries.
The original series ran for six seasons from 2007-2012 on Nickelodeon, recording 97 episodes.
iCarly was just one of several revived series set at the streamer. Paramount+ also added new seasons of shows like Rugrats, a live-action followup to the animated series Fairly Oddparents called The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder, as well as the recent Zoey 102 sequel film based on the Jamie Lynn Spears-led Zoey 101, and the upcoming Good Burger 2, a sequel to the cult favorite '90s movie with Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson set to reprise their respective roles of Ed and Dexter. Two Dora the Explorer reboots are also in the works, including a CG-animated preschool series slated to premiere on the service during Spring 2024.
The reboot was produced by Nickelodeon Studios and Awesomeness and executive produced by Jay Kogen and Ali Schouten, who also wrote the pilot. Cosgrove served as executive producer, with Trainor and Alissa Vradenburg serving as producers.
Speaking on X/Twitter, Laci Mosley said: "The best people I’ve ever worked with in the business. Thank you for tuining in to the reboot. Everyone put their deeply kind talented souls into this".
The iCarly writer's room also paid tribute to the show on X, saying: "It was truly such an incredible experience working on this show. Thank you all so much for your support and enthusiasm. I’m gonna miss saying “Oh the fans are gonna lose their minds!” almost as much as I will miss working with such hilarious and kind people."
"Best job I’ve ever had. Let’s do it again in another 10 years?," added Ali Schouten.
Nathan Kress also revealed his feelings about the show's cancelation on X: "Thank you all for your kindness, love, and undying support for these past 3 seasons. I'm so grateful that we were given an opportunity to bring you this story... and I especially want to thank our amazing crew, writers, and my castmates for the greatest workplace and creative environment I could ask for. I'm so proud of what we accomplished together. Freddie is forever in my heart, and I'm honored that I was able to put that mantle back on, even for just a few more years.
"Obviously this stings a bit.. we had a lot of story left to tell, and we were excited to give you guys the ending you deserved. No one wanted this to end on a cliffhanger.
"Maybe somehow, someday, we'll find out how to story ends."
