iCarly is a powerful and beloved franchise spanning 16 years and 9 seasons, with die-hard fans all over the world. The original series, which has been credited as “the most successful kids sitcom of all time,” aired on Nickelodeon from 2007 to 2012 and received record-breaking viewership, including iSaved Your Life which is the second most-watched telecast in the network’s history with 11.2 million viewers. The revival series premiered on Paramount+ in 2021 and was considered an instant hit amongst fans and critics because it matured with its original audience while keeping the heart of the Nickelodeon series.

The iCarly revival was successful for Paramount+. Bob Bakish (former president and CEO of Paramount Global) called it a “total home run” and Brian Robbins (former CEO of Paramount Pictures) said, “The demand for the new show was at such a fever pitch by the time [the new show] launched that it propelled iCarly to be, if not the most successful show on Paramount+, one of the most successful shows.” The revival’s immense popularity earned it a season 2 renewal while season 1 episodes were still being released. During season 2 filming, Paramount+ said it was their #1 show. It was a top Paramount+ show throughout season 3, and Miranda Cosgrove won the Kids’ Choice Award for Favorite Female TV Star (Family) for her performance.

On October 4, 2023, despite the iCarly revival’s success and Paramount+ teasing a season 4 renewal, the show was cancelled on TWO huge cliffhangers (Carly and Freddie’s almost-wedding & Carly and Spencer’s mom reveal) without a proper explanation. On December 6, 2024, Nathan Kress revealed at a fan convention that Paramount+ had alluded to a future renewal but ultimately cancelled the iCarly revival due to financial strain caused by the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

We just have a script for it that we like and we’re highly optimistic that that is going to turn into an official announcement … There’s a lot of legwork still left to be done. Things are still in flux, so keep making noise out there because everybody’s still paying attention to the demand. We’re all very excited about it. We all want to be involved in it. Things are moving forward. I saw the [movie] draft. I like it. We’re in the tweaking phase now where we just fine-tune it and make it even better, and I’m excited to one day (ONE DAY) have a for-real announcement.”
  • October 1, 2025: Jerry said at GalaxyCon (Des Moines), “Who wants to see Carly and Freddie endgame?

  • October 16, 2025: Jerry said at GalaxyCon (St. Louis), “Nothing official has happened, but the [iCarly reboot movie] is (I think I’m allowed to say) ‘in development.’ [It’s] in the development stage, so it’s not been greenlit … but I’m hopeful, and I got my fingers crossed, and I think it’s gonna happen.”
  • November 19, 2025: Nathan told The National News Desk, “The prep right now is just fine-tuning the story and trying to find something that’s going to satisfy as many people as possible and make everybody happy, which is a tall order, but we’re determined to do it … Whatever happens [with Carly and Freddie], there is finality to it, which regardless of which way that goes, we’re going to make sure that it’s a satisfying thing … It’s time to wrap their story up and send them off into the sunset, maybe literally, I don’t know.”
  • November 21, 2025: Nathan said at Nostalgia Con (New Orleans), “I can report that positive steps have been made in the direction of getting [the iCarly movie] made … Some hurdles have been cleared. We are on a specific timeline that we are trying to target … There will not be a cliffhanger of any kind. There will be finality to the [Carly and Freddie] relationship and you will know where everybody stands about everything by the time this movie is over … I hope that you guys enjoy it, assuming it gets greenlit. We’re still trying. We’re still working. We’re on the way, so thank you for being patient with us.”
  • December 15, 2025: Nathan told The Vinnie Penn Project, “It’s not greenlit, but there is a script floating around for an iCarly movie to wrap up all of those cliffhangers. So we’re trying to get that filmed next year … because obviously we didn’t want to go out on a cliffhanger.”
  • December 18, 2025: Nathan told The Amanda Exclusivo, “I think we have a really great story on our hands that’s kind of in the polishing phase right now that hopefully we will present that, it will get greenlit, and we can get [the iCarly movie] made next year … Hopefully we’re doing the movie, I wanna say, sometime in like late winter/early spring, that’s the goal if we can get [the iCarly movie] greenlit.”

iCarly can’t end on a cliffhanger. We request a season 4 or movie to give this iconic franchise the closure it deserves.
