Is 'Creddie' Finally Happening? | iCarly Season 2

Is "Creddie" actually happening?

iCarly returns for season 3 with its first two episodes Thursday, June 1 on Paramount+ in the U.S. and Canada, and subsequent episodes dropping weekly on Thursdays.

In the new season, adulting continues to be complicated for Carly (Miranda Cosgrove) and the Seattle gang. Carly and Freddie (Nathan Kress) struggle to redefine their relationship, aka #Creddie; Spencer (Jerry Trainor) seeks a return to his roots; and Harper's (Laci Mosley) reunion with an old rival leads to an unexpected outcome.

Paramount+ recently released the trailer for the new season, which puts the spotlight squarely on Carly and Freddie's uncertain relationship status following last season's bombshell cliffhanger (and even opens with a near-kiss in the opening seconds!). To refresh everyone's memory, the finale ended with Freddie's girlfriend, Pearl (Mia Serafino), stunning Carly and Freddie when she said they were "clearly in love with each other." While that remark shocked the BFFs, it's been a long time coming for iCarly fans -- and it appears that viewers may finally be getting what they've been asking for in season 3.

The trailer opens with Freddie down on one knee getting ready to propose to, presumably, Pearl. But Carly is the one who steps through the door, making it one very awkward moment as they try to laugh it off with Freddie's girlfriend later. Pearl, by the way, is not enthused. While Freddie and Pearl are "thriving" in their relationship, Carly is struggling to reconcile her feelings. "I'd say I'm good, for someone who recently realized she has feelings for her best friend but he wants to focus on her friendship, which she totally agrees is the right call!" Carly tries to tell herself.

Everyone else around her isn't buying what she's selling, of course. Even Paul (Josh Peck) believes they're "smashing" each other and gets invested in the love triangle between Carly, Freddie and Pearl. "There is no triangle. There's a love line between Freddie and Pearl. He and I are a squiggle," Carly tells Paul in one scene from the trailer.

Even with a big question mark looming over their relationship status, Freddie maintains, "No matter what awkward phase of Carly/Freddie-dom we're in, I am always going to be there for you." When Pearl lets out her frustration in an ax-throwing bar and states that they're "obsessed with each other," is that the catalyst for Carly and Freddie to finally face their feelings head-on?

The trailer closes with the duo coming face to face with photos from their years of friendship on glowing TV screens in an ornately designed archway. "You're the person who I can always count on," Carly confesses. "Is this really happening?" Freddie asks. "It took us long enough," she replies, before putting her arms around Freddie's neck. Is "Creddie" making it official?!

While all signs are pointing to the fan-favorite duo reconciling and giving things another shot, Cosgrove herself was hopeful that the friends would figure things out eventually.

"I personally want Freddie and Carly to be endgame," Cosgrove told ET last June. "I think Nathan has a whole theory about this where he thinks Freddie tried too hard for too long and that he doesn't know that they're meant to be together. But my personal take is I think they would be really good for each other, so I'm hoping that that's how the series ends. But I'm just like everybody else, I don't know exactly what's going to happen."

Jaidyn Triplett also stars in the series, which is executive produced and overseen by showrunner Ali Schouten-Seeks. Phill Lewis and Cosgrove serve as EPs, with Trainor, Kress and Alissa Vradenburg as producers.

Internationally, iCarly season 3 will premiere its new season Friday, June 2 in Australia and the U.K.; Sunday, June 25 in Latin America and Brazil; and Friday, Aug. 25 in Italy, France, Germany and Switzerland. A launch date for South Korea will be announced later.

The original series as well as the new iCarly are available to stream on Paramount+ - try it FREE at ParamountPlus.com.

'Abbott Elementary' Creator and Star Quinta Brunson Reveals How Nickelodeon Magazine Inspired Her to Write TV Shows

Quinta Brunson, the creator and star of the hit comedy series Abbott Elementary, has revealed how Nickelodeon's iconic Nickelodeon Magazine helped ignite her passion for writing TV shows!

As a child, Brunson never imagined that the job ‘TV writer’ even existed, until her father’s boss mentioned his daughter was one.

The daughter, Elisa Zuritsky, was then a writer on Sex and the City, and when Brunson was in her early teens, Zuritsky gifted her a Nickelodeon Magazine subscription. “I was like, ‘Wait, if someone I know can be a TV writer, then maybe I can be a TV writer,’ Brunson told Deadline, adding "That Nickelodeon magazine was very important to me, because it was the next level. It was beyond just watching TV. The magazine went behind the scenes of these TV shows.”

You can check out Brunson's conversation with Deadline in full here!

Zoop followed the lives of eight young adults working in the Ouwehands Dierenpark zoo in Rhenen. The series ran for 325 x 10-minute episodes over three seasons between 5 April 2004 – 2007. The series inspired three spin-off movies, Zoop in Afrika (2005), Zoop in India (2006), and Zoop in Zuid-Amerika (2007). The series and movies are available to stream on Videoland in the Netherlands.

Zoop starred: Juliette van Ardenne as Sira Schilt; Viviënne van den Assem as Elise Pardoel; Erwan van Buuren as Alwin Bendorff; Nicolette van Dam as Bionda Kroonenberg; Ewout Genemans as Bastiaan van Diemen; Jon Karthaus as Moes Brinksma; Sander Jan Klerk as Aaron Zomerkamp; Patrick Martens as Mike Bosboom; and Monique van der Werff as Taffie Arends. In addition to the core cast, the series also starred Sabine Koning as Gaby Meerman Berenger; Raymi Sambo as Bowey Berenger; and Thomas Sykora as Fabian de Beurre, aka the Begeleiders in the series, as well as Kim Boekhoorn as Filo Schilt, de zus van Sira; Teun Kuilboer as Kaspar van Ooi; Ernst Löw as Siegfried Schilt, de vader van Sira; Hugo Maerten as Roy Akkermans, de klusjesman; and Pieternel Pouwels as Maxime Schilt, de moeder van Sira.

The original Zoop was produced by Nijenhuis & de Levita Film & TV B.V.

From Veronica Superguide:

Castleden Zoop herenigd voor opnames nieuwe film: 'voelt vertrouwd'

Ken je ze nog? De castleden van de Nickelodeon-serie Zoop. Inmiddels is het alweer 19 jaar geleden dat de eerste opnames van de populaire jeugdserie begonnen, maar stil zitten de acteurs niet. Ze zijn namelijk bezig met de opnames voor een nieuwe Zoop-film!

‘Wat een feest! Na twintig jaar weer met mijn Zoopies op de set. Zo gezellig en vertrouwd, alsof we nooit zijn weggeweest’, schrijft Nicolette van Dam op Instagram, die de rol van Bionda speelde. Ook Ewout Genemans, Monique van der Werff, Jon Karthaus, Juliette van Ardenne, Vivienne van den Assem, Patrick Martens en Erwan van Buuren hebben een belangrijke rol. Voor Patrick Martens betekende het de kickstart van zijn carrière.  

Drie films op Videoland

Zoop was een populaire Nederlandse jeugd-soapserie waarin acht jongeren een opleiding volgden tot dierenverzorger in het Ouwehands Dierenpark in Rhenen. De serie werd gemaakt in samenwerking met NL Film. Er was al bekend gemaakt dat er een vierde deel komt van de succesvolle Zoop-films, maar nu is dus duidelijk dat de castleden middenin de opnames zitten. De serie Zoop was tussen 2004 en 2006 op televisie te zien en de serie eindigde ook met drie films: Zoop in Afrika (2005), Zoop in India (2006) en Zoop in Zuid-Amerika (2007). 

De Zoop-serie én -films staan op Videoland!
