“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.”
Who’s in the cast of Hollywood Arts?
Monet will be joined by an up-and-coming cast, including:
- Alyssa Miles (Hanging out with Alyssa and Xavier)
- Emmy Liu-Wang (Raven’s Home, Slumber Party)
- Peyton Jackson (Woman in the Yard, Young Dylan)
- Erika Swayze (School Spirits, Davey & Jonesie’s Locker, Workin’ Moms)
- Martin Kamm (Unsung Hero, Web of Spider-Man)
- Lexi Rivera (Influencer)
- Kira Kosarin (The Thundermans)
- Sofie Dossi (America’s Got Talent contortionist)
- Taylen Biggs (13-year-old celebrity interviewer)
- Rex (Robbie Shapiro’s beloved ventriloquist dummy)
Yvette Nicole Brown (Drake & Josh, Community) is also set to make a guest appearance. That’s right: Principal Helen is back and better than ever.
“I'm so excited for the world to see this cast and how talented they are,” Monet says. She’s not the only one reprising her Victorious role. Yvette Nicole Brown returns as recurring character Principal Helen Dubois, Eric Lange guest stars as acting teacher Erwin Sikowitz, and Matt Bennett plays fellow Hollywood Arts alum and ventriloquist Robbie Shapiro.
According to Monet, this next chapter in the Victorious universe has something for everyone, whether you’re a fan of the original series or new to the Hollywood Arts campus. “I’m proud of what we made,” she says. “We worked really hard. It’s funny. It’s all the things I wanted it to be, and I always kept in mind the original audience throughout the entire process.”
Monet, who also serves as an executive producer on the Paramount Television Studios series alongside Samantha Martin, Jake Farrow, Shauna Phelan, and Jonathan Judge, says she was guided by a core question throughout the show’s production: “How do we appeal to [the original audience] while still opening up to the entire masses?” Viewers will get the answer when classes commence in the premiere of Hollywood Arts Oct. 15 on Netflix.
