Bennett will return as Robbie Shapiro, marking the character’s first appearance since appearing in the iCarly x Victorious spin-off Sam & Cat in 2014.
It's currently unknown whether Robbie's ventriloquist dummy, Rex Powers, will also be making a return. Bennett recently released a few photos of his time on the Hollywood Arts set on Instagram with the caption, "Robbie and Trina 2010-2026 ❤️".
The new series follows Trina as she returns to Hollywood Arts as a substitute teacher and encounters a new generation of students.

The reunion also brings another familiar face behind the camera, as Nathan Kress is set to direct an episode of the series. Kress previously starred as Freddie Benson on the original iCarly, along with its recent revival. Kress is no stranger to directing, having directed episodes of Henry Danger, Game Shakers, and iCarly (2021).
"So incredibly honored to have the opportunity to direct this wonderful and RIDICULOUSLY talented team over at Hollywood Arts for a couple episodes," Kress said on Instagram, sharing a few behind-the-scenes photos. "The infectious energy on that set, the love of the craft, the music... the MUSIC, you guys. I can't tell you how excited I am for you to see what we've been working on. Check it out on Netflix on October 15th!!!"
Hollywood Arts is currently scheduled to premiere on Netflix on Thursday, October 15, with the 26-episode series later coming to Nickelodeon and Paramount+.
