We still don’t know what direction will the show be in, but at least we can see our favorite stars on a show we used to love so much. The new reboot won’t be in the hands of original creator Dan Schneider. Writers Jay Kogen is known for School of Rock, The Simpsons, Frasier, and Ali Schouten, known for Diary of a Future President, Champions, and Merry Happy Whatever will develop the show.
The original iCarly first premiered in 2007 and ended in 2017 with six seasons and 97 episodes. The show was based on three best friends, Carly( Miranda Cosgrove), Freddie (Nathan Kress), and Sam (Jennette McCurdy), creating a webcast while dealing with everyday problems and adventures. iCarly became a major pop-culture show that broke viewership records. iCarly was a show for audiences of all ages. Since it was a big hit on Nickelodeon, it led to a spinoff Sam & Cat with McCurdy and Ariana Grande From Victorious.
