Catching up with the Cast

First, fans have speculated that since McCurdy didn’t appear in the teaser, she will not return for the upcoming revival. Second, McCurdy will not return because she has retired from acting. Lastly, she has since moved into writing and directing.

In a recent episode of Nathan Kress’ podcast, RadioActive Dads, Kress states “It doesn’t look like Jennette’s gonna be in the reboot of the show, at least for the first season.” He continues to explain, “I don’t think anyone totally knows. I know there’s a lot of theories, I don’t personally know exactly. I talked with her a little bit. Kress continues to explicate “I think it’s just a personal decision and where she’s at and what she wants to do.” 

The upcoming iCarly reboot will be aired on the upcoming video streaming service, Paramount Plus instead on Nickelodeon. Writer for the revival will be the former writer of Fraiser and Simpsons, Jay Kogen. Trainor retweeted a statement by Kogen. The tweet reads “People were asking what I was doing.  Now I can tell you. We get to make iCarly for ADULTS!”

Overall, the reboot will be more mature. The audience members who watched the show as kids are now adults today. No release date has been set for the new iCarly reboot.
