There’s another reboot on the way, this time it’s Nickelodeon’s “iCarly.”
It is weird that characters Carly, Freddy and Spencer will be back. But we’re still waiting on confirmation for Sam and Gibby’s characters.
With that, the company released a statement that the reboot would be for adult audiences and would not “feature Carly becoming a tick-tock [sic] star” like some fans had feared.
The reboot is still in its early stages and is expected to come out late 2021 or early 2022.
It was also announced that Dan Schneider would not be directing the reboot after allegations came out against him with the Amanda show.
Nickelodeon has cut all ties with Schneider and instead will have Jay Kogen and Ali Schouten in charge.
Krogen tweeted: “People were asking what I was doing. Now I can tell you. We get to make iCarly for ADULTS!” The tweet has fans riled up over the project.
Fans have spoken out on social media asking Jennette McCurdy if she would be reprising her role. She announced that she quit acting in 2016, so fans speculate that Sam will not be a part of the new project.
Either way, I’m excited to relive my childhood. I watched “iCarly” all the time growing up, and it’s going to be fun to see them now.
I’m hoping it will be like “Big Bang Theory,” where you can see them older. When I first heard of the reboot, I pictured the characters in the stages of life that fans who watch the original series are in now.
