Notes:
- Yvette Nicole Brown (Drake & Josh) will reprise her role of Principle Helen.
- Casting on Hollywood Arts had already started by February, cand Nickelodeon reportedly assembled the cast before the series was taken to Netflix.
- It is unclear yet whether other original Victorious cast members, notably lead Victoria Justice and Wicked star Ariana Grande, would appear on Hollywood Arts. It would make sense for Justice to reprise her role as Tori Vega, Trina’s younger sister.
- Hollywood Arts held its first table read Oct. 14 with production underway in Vancouver, Canada. You can see photos from the table read above.
- Originally developed and produced by Nickelodeon, Hollywood Arts will now be produced by Paramount Television Studios. The newly revived post-merger TV studio encompasses the slates of Skydance Television and Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios as well as Awesomeness series and Nickelodeon’s live-action shows.
- This is the second Victorious spinoff series following the Victorious/iCarly mashup Sam & Cat, which starred Victorious’ Grande as Cat and iCarly‘s Jennette McCurdy as Sam.
From Netflix Tudum:
Hollywood Arts, a Victorious Spin-Off, Starts Production on Season 1
The beloved Nickelodeon sitcom is getting a second act at Netflix.
We’re taking it back to the halls of Hollywood Arts High School.
Production has officially kicked off for Hollywood Arts, a spin-off of the hit Nickelodeon sitcom Victorious, which took its final bow in 2013. Filming is underway in Vancouver, and episodes land on Netflix next year.
Daniella Monet, who starred as Trina Vega during the show’s four-season run, will reprise her role as an aspiring actor who still hasn’t gotten her big break. Hijinks ensue when she returns to her alma mater to teach a whole new generation of performing arts students.
“Coming back as Trina alongside such a dynamic, powerful cast of newcomers is something I feel very lucky and grateful to do,” Monet shared. “Victorious was in a lot of ways life-changing for all of us. Our cast is forever bonded by that experience, and to think that I have an opportunity to steward anything close to that is a feeling I can’t begin to describe.”
