Get ready, Ariana Grande fans, because the former Nickelodeon star is returning to the TV screen this month! That’s right, the actress-turned-singer is set to star in Season 2 of the show Kidding, and fans cannot wait.
The Showtime series, which stars Jim Carrey, Frank Langella, Judy Greer and more, is all about a guy named Jeff Pickles who works on a children’s TV show. Ariana will play someone named Piccola Grande. The second season will premiere on Sunday, February 9 — but the 26-year-old will not appear until episode 5, which airs later this month.
As fans know, it’s no secret that the “Dangerous Woman” songstress is a huge fan of Jim’s — she even has a tattoo of a quote from one of his movies — and when she filmed her segment back in July 2019, she shared a sweet photo of her and the actor on set.
“There aren’t words. I’ve been staring at my screen and no words do this moment justice. Thankful for the most special experience of my life. Nothing is crazier than getting to work with and spend time with someone whom you’ve idolized and adored since before you could speak,” she captioned it. “Actually, what’s even crazier is discovering that person to be more special and warm and generous in person than you ever could’ve imagined. I get to make a tiny appearance on the hilarious and deeply moving show Kidding next season. This was a DREAM of an experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you Jim and thank you Dave for having me. I have so much more to say but words actually can’t cover it.”
Ariana hasn’t acted in anything since she played Penny Pingleton in NBC’s rendition of Hairspray Live! back in 2016. Before that, she starred in Scream Queens, Victorious, Sam & Cat, Swindle, Underdogs and Zoolander 2.
