Wake up the members of the iCarly nation, because it's (almost) your time to be — again!
Miranda Cosgrove has shared an "exciting" update on the long-rumored iCarly wrap-up movie after the Paramount+ reboot ended on a shocking cliffhanger.
"It's being written, which is really exciting," Cosgrove revealed to Entertainment Weekly. "And it looks like it's happening. I'm really excited."

The first iteration of iCarly aired on Nickelodeon from 2007-2012, starring Cosgrove as Carly Shay as an early internet influencer with a viral web show. Jennette McCurdy played her best friend Sam Puckett, and Nathan Kress played her friend–love interest Freddie Benson, while Jerry Trainor portrayed Carly's older brother-guardian Spencer.
Everyone except for McCurdy (whose memoir I'm Glad My Mom Died explains her retirement from acting) returned for Paramount+'s reboot in 2021, which further explored the romance between Carly and Freddie (#Creddie).
The reboot continued Carly’s storyline ten years later reuniting her with her brother Spencer and her go-to camera Freddie (Nathan Kress). The three look to bring back her popular web show, running into many of the original cast members on the way in addition to some new personalities.
Before the iCarly reboot was canceled in 2023, the third season left fans at the edge of their seats by hinting at the idea of Carly’s mother finally being revealed to the audience. Fans were also eager to see if Carly and Freddie would finally get together.

Among the new cast members were Harper (Laci Mosley) and Freddie’s stepdaughter Millicent (Jaidyn Triplett). The reboot was produced by Nickelodeon Studios and Awesomeness and executive produced by Jay Kogen and Ali Schouten. Cosgrove served as executive producer, with Trainor and Alissa Vradenburg serving as producers.
Carly was basically raised by her older brother after their mother abandoned them when they were younger, and their father (David Chisum) was serving in the Air Force overseas. Their mother has never been seen on the show before, and the finale didn't reveal her onscreen, but Cosgrove reveals that will finally happen in the movie.

"We don't know who's going to play the mom character yet, but she's going to be a big part of the movie," Cosgrove told EW. "That's exciting. We're just excited to start it and actually film."
This is the first time fans have gotten confirmation that the iCarly movie is moving forward. Cosgrove last spoke about it during an appearance on daytime show The Talk in November 2024.
"I'm not allowed to 100 percent confirm anything yet," Cosgrove told the hosts. "But I think the fans of the show are going to be super excited because we have something in the works... We actually ended the revival on a cliffhanger, and we're going to wrap that up."
Both iCarly shows can be streamed in full on Paramount+. Try it FREE at ParamountPlus.com.
