Production
editDevelopment
editThen-Nickelodeon executive Paula Kaplan contacted Cosgrove with a pitch for a new iCarly series, revolving around Carly and Spencer running a Hype House-like content house with a new generation of influencers taking influence from the iCarly web show. The demographic for the show was planned to be aimed towards kids, following in the same footsteps as other revivals and spin-offs like Disney Channel's Raven's Home and Girl Meets World. "I don't think that any of us would have been up for that [idea]," she says. "What excited me about doing iCarly again was getting to put the characters in situations that we couldn't show before."[16] Cosgrove contacted Jerry Trainor, Nathan Kress and Jennette McCurdy about the project. Kress and Trainor were on board with the project, however McCurdy declined. After multiple conversations with the returning cast, Cosgrove requested that the revival series be aimed towards the adults who grew up with it, which ViacomCBS and AwesomenessTV immediately agreed to, unlike the shelved Lizzie McGuire series being developed at Disney+. As the executive producer of the series, Cosgrove wanted to incorporate more mature topics and diversity into the series, as well as nostalgia.[16]
The series was announced in December 2020, with Jay Kogen and Ali Schouten serving as co-showrunners and executive producers. Cosgrove, Kress, and Trainor would reprise their roles from the original series.[17][18] In February 2021, it was reported that Kogen left the project due to "creative differences" with Cosgrove, though he still retained a writing credit alongside Ali Schouten for the first episode, "iStart Over."[19] Later that month, McCurdy confirmed that she would not reprise her role of Sam Puckett for the revival, as a result of quitting acting and feeling embarrassed by her past career.[20] It was also revealed that the revival had been picked up for 13 episodes, with the pilot being directed by Phill Lewis, and written by Kogen and Schouten. In May, the premiere date was revealed to be June 17, 2021, with a teaser image also being revealed.[21][6] On June 1, the first official trailer of the revival was released.[22] On July 15, the series was renewed for a second season.[23]
On July 27, 2022, the series was renewed for a third season, which premiered on June 1, 2023.[24][25]
On October 4, 2023, the series was canceled after three seasons.[4]
Casting
editIn March 2021, it was reported that Laci Mosley had been cast as Harper, Carly's new roommate and best friend, and that Jaidyn Triplett had been cast as Millicent, Freddie's snarky and social media-obsessed step-daughter.[26] Since the announcement of her casting, Mosley has been the target of attacks from fans who saw her as a replacement for McCurdy's character from the original. In response, Franchesca Ramsey, one of the writers of the show, tweeted "Laci's character Harper isn't replacing Sam. No one could replace Jennette McCurdy or her incredible talent! But it's both racist as hell & completely unfair to decide that Laci hasn't earned her role especially since the show isn't even out yet!!"[27]
Filming
editIn March 2021, filming for the revival had officially begun.[26] Production on the first season ended on June 25, 2021.[28] Production on the second season began in October 2021[29][30] and ended on February 2, 2022.[31]
Possible series finale film
editIn May 2024, Cosgrove has stated that she wants to wrap up the entire series with a finale film, confirming it would be likely, saying, "I'm pretty sure it's gonna happen, so I'm excited, and I'd love to get to wrap up the story".[32][33]
Release
editThe first three episodes were released on June 17, 2021, with subsequent episodes releasing weekly until August 26, 2021.[22] The first episode, albeit slightly shortened, aired on Nick at Nite on July 17, 2021.[34] The second season premiered on April 8, 2022.[35][36] "iObject, Lewbert!" became the second episode overall to receive a linear airing, leading out of the 2022 Kids' Choice Awards on April 9 on Nickelodeon, as well as an airing on MTV on April 19, 2022.[11]
