'iCarly' Season 3: Premiere Date, Cast, Reboot Details

Wake up the members of my nation! Season 2 of iCarly‘s reboot has officially come to an end. The show is a revival of the original Nickelodeon series that aired from 2007 to 2012 and came back on Paramount+ in June 2021 with almost all of its original cast. The reboot has already garnered old and new fans of the show, with season 2 packing its latest punch. And a lot of fans are already asking about a season 3 — rightfully so!

In July 2022, Paramount+ revealed that the show was set to return for a third season.

“iCarly’s loyal fan base grew up with Carly, Spencer and Freddie, and have now fallen in love with Harper and Millicent, too,” Tanya Giles, chief programming officer of streaming for Paramount+, shared in a statement. “We’re thrilled to have Miranda, Jerry, Nathan, Laci and Jaidyn return for a third season and we know Paramount+’s growing YA audience is as well. And I, for one, must find out what happens with #Creddie!”

The second season picked up right where it left off and came to an end with a major cliffhanger. Original cast members Miranda Cosgrove, Jerry Trainor and Nathan Kress have all returned, while Jennette McCurdy, who played Sam, remains absent. Jennette explained her decision to not return to the show in her podcast Empty Inside, as she made the decision to leave entertainment several years ago.

“I quit a few years ago because I initially didn’t want to do it,” she said on the podcast. “My mom put me in it when I was 6 and by sort of age, I guess, 10 or 11, I was the main financial support for my family. My family didn’t have a lot of money, and this was the way out, which I actually think was helpful in driving me to some degree of success.”

On top of that pressure to succeed, she also revealed she was embarrassed by her acting roles as a kid and resented her career. Although she didn’t completely rule out an eventual return to acting, she did say that it will likely take some time. “I feel like I have a point of view, and I have a vision,” she said. “We’ll see where things are in a few years.”

Hopefully a Season 3

“I anticipate a season 3. I think that the are really gonna love this season because it’s wild we’re loose, we’re relaxed. You’re gonna see more adult situations, more of the stuff that millennials are going through. The dating … all the mess, all the mess, the jobs, everything,” Laci Mosley, who plays Harper, told J-14 exclusively in April 2022. “I really do anticipate season 3. We’ve already had such a great response on Twitter … So, I’m excited.”

Bringing #Creddie to Life

“In a third season, if we get one, it would be the time to answer that question [about Carly and Freddie]. We don’t really have much choice, so we can’t ignore what just happened during that last scene. It’s gonna be spicy this next time around. We can’t gloss over it,” Nathan told J-14 exclusively in May 2022. “There’s been a lot of leaving it up to the viewer to decide what’s going on, but we can’t do that anymore. The rubber is meeting the road here in the third season. We’re gonna have to make some concrete decisions.”

More From Mrs. Benson

“I’d kinda like to see Mrs. Benson have a relationship. I feel like that could be fun. I like seeing her with Lubert — even though it is kind of gross. I, kind of, would like to see what it would be like, how her personality would change, and she’d become way less uptight and just be super happy with somebody,” Miranda told J-14 exclusively of a possible season 3. “Just for an episode, I think that’d be fun. Also, I’d love to know what happened with Carly and Spencer’s mom and also what happened with Freddy’s dad? There are so many questions, we haven’t answered that I think it would be fun to learn some of those things.”

Hopes for #Creddie

“In the original series, they’re little and Freddie always had almost like, a puppy love for Carly,” Miranda told E! News in July 2022. “And Carly would always just laugh about it. But now that they’re adults, it’s a totally different dynamic. It would be interesting to see more from Carly’s perspective, how she feels about Freddie, especially now that his character has been through two divorces on the show and has a daughter and everything’s changed.”

‘The Creddie Situation’ Will Be ‘Explored’

“I will say season 2 ends with … I don’t want to ruin anything,” Jerry told J-14 exclusively in December 2022. “Season 2 ends with Freddie breaking up with his girlfriend because she thinks Freddie and Carly are better suited for each other. So, that gets explored.”

He continued, “We pick up the Creddie situation. What happens? I don’t know.”
