Miranda Cosgrove Wants to 'Wrap Up' 'iCarly' After Revival Cancellation: 'Maybe a Movie'

The Paramount+ iCarly revival was suddenly canceled in October 2023 after the season 3 finale's big cliffhanger

Miranda Cosgrove is still holding out for a proper sendoff for the hit Paramount+ iCarly revival.

Following its season 3 finale that aired in July 2023, which featured a shocking cliffhanger, the streaming service announced the show's cancellation that October.

The final moments almost saw Cosgrove's titular Carly Shay marrying longtime best friend-turned-boyfriend Freddie Benson (Nathan Kress). Even more shocking, Carly and big brother Spencer Shay's (Jerry Trainor) mother — who has never been shown and is rarely mentioned in both the OG series and its successor — appeared, albeit off-screen.

"I had a great experience getting to come back and do it for a few seasons, for sure. But I'd love to still be able to wrap up the story in some way," Cosgrove, 30, told Entertainment Tonight.

"Maybe, hopefully, someday, we'll still do it," the Mother of the Bride star continued. "I feel like it would probably be more along the lines of maybe a movie, that would kind of wrap it all up or something like that. So that's what I'm hoping for."

There are still some storylines Cosgrove says she wants to see play out, including her character's long-developing romance with Freddie Benson (Nathan Kress) and some unanswered family questions.

Cosgrove added: "I want to know who Carly's mother is as much as [fans do]. It seems like a lot of people were hoping to see that."

At the time of the show's cancellation, star Laci Mosley announced on X (formerly Twitter) that “it’s canceled babes." Paramount+ then released a statement confirming the news.

"iCarly will not be returning for a fourth season on Paramount+," a spokesperson for the streaming platform said in a statement to the press. "The series had a great three-season run and delivered on what fans really wanted to see with Carly and Freddie finally getting together. We want to thank the entire cast, the writers, directors and producers along with the whole crew for their dedication, creativity and talent."

The new iteration came nearly nine years after Nickelodeon's iCarly, which ran from 2007 to 2012 for five seasons. Jaidyn Triplett also starred in the revival series.

Both iCarly shows can be streamed in full on Paramount+. Try it FREE at ParamountPlus.com.

Karisma Hotels & Resorts and Autism Double-Checked Introduce the First-Ever Autism Passport

KARISMA HOTELS & RESORTS AND AUTISM DOUBLE-CHECKED INTRODUCE THE FIRST-EVER AUTISM PASSPORT

MIAMI, FLA-29 APRIL 2024

Karisma Hotels & Resorts is proud to announce it is the first hotel collection to implement the Autism Passport in partnership with Autism Double-Checked (ADC). An extension of the pioneering Autism Concierge program, the passport serves as a first-of-its-kind comprehensive tool for guests to convey essential information such as communication challenges, sensory sensitivities, special interests, emotional triggers, and calming strategies to staff members who will facilitate their stay. This document, conveniently accessible online, offers visitors a means to communicate their unique needs with Karisma hotels as well as certified airlines and airports. Karisma's commitment to inclusivity shines through this alliance, affirming its dedication to exceeding guests' expectations by adapting to their needs while ensuring that all visitors feel welcome.

"We are incredibly proud to partner with Autism Double-Checked, the foremost leader in autism-friendly travel,” says Esteban Velasquez, Chief Executive Officer at Karisma Hotels & Resorts. “This continued collaboration aligns with Karisma's overarching goal of ensuring every guest feels welcome and supported. We feel that the introduction of the Autism Passport marks a significant step forward in our shared commitment to provide an unparalleled stay for all travelers.” 

As part of its Autism Double-Checked certification, Karisma staff members have completed ADC’s comprehensive training courses, enabling them to identify and support specific challenges that guests with autism may face during their stay. Karisma’s certified properties have also developed custom visitor guides that highlight property-specific sensory information for neurodiverse guests to use as a resource before and during their stay. The Autism Passport increases the overall benefit of these programs by giving guests an easy and accessible way to share their individual challenges and any accommodations they may require to help the property and staff provide a positive and comfortable visit to all guests. 

“Travel with autism is greatly improved by good planning, and individualized information is key to that planning,” said Alan Day, Co-Founder and CEO of Autism Double-Checked. “The Autism Passport is the know before they show component that provides information to hotel staff that will enhance guest experience from arrival to departure. Karisma continues to show remarkable dedication to welcoming guests with autism, so it’s no surprise that they are the first to deploy this important tool.”

ADC was created to prepare the travel industry to better serve guests with autism through industry-focused, job-specific training for all guest-facing staff. ADC’s comprehensive training includes three stages: general basic training for all staff, specific training per department, and the development of a site-specific visitor guide to assist parents, caregivers, and visitors with autism. ADC also assists the autism community to confidently select the travel opportunities that best fit their needs. The autism community in the U.S. consists of between 25 and 35 million people who are eager to travel and are loyal to companies that understand and accommodate their needs. Once a hotel has completed all three phases, it obtains the "Autism Double-Checked" certification, indicating that it is ready, willing, and able to welcome families and guests impacted by autism.

Karisma's commitment to inclusive travel for those with autism is further exemplified by its status as the first hotel group to introduce the Autism Concierge in partnership with Autism Double-Checked. This program allows guests traveling with individuals on the autism spectrum to receive tailored support through a dedicated contact listed in each resort’s visitor guide. Autism Double-Checked-certified Karisma hotels include Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya, Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana, Margaritaville Island Reserve^® Cap Cana, Margaritaville Island Reserve® Riviera Cancun, and Azul Beach Resort Riviera Cancún. Azul Beach Resort in Negril Jamaica and Margaritaville Island Reserve^® Riviera Maya are currently undergoing certification and will be fully certified by the end of 2024.

About Autism Double-Checked

Autism Double-Checked believes that travel should be available for everyone, including individuals and families impacted by autism. To create this reality, ADC provides online autism awareness training and certification programs that have been specifically designed to make autism inclusion simple and profitable for all segments of the travel industry, including airlines, hotels, tour operators and travel agents. Based in Connecticut, the organization was founded in 2015 by two lifetime travel professionals and leading experts on traveling with autism who are also parents to special needs children. Most families with an autistic child avoid taking family vacations due to concerns about their child's reaction to all the unfamiliar stimuli they will confront outside of their routine 'comfort bubble' at home. Autism Double-Checked works with its travel industry partners to ensure training and resources are in place to give this travel segment confidence that they are included and welcomed as travelers.

Established in 2000, the Writing Program offers aspiring television writers with unique voices from underrepresented communities the opportunity to hone their skills and launch their careers as writers on Nickelodeon’s scripted live-action and animated television productions. As an incubator program, the Writing Programs identifies, inspires and mentors new creators to invigorate the Nickelodeon talent pipeline.

Within the Writing Program, all participants have the opportunity to network with executives and show creators, gain firsthand experience writing scripts, pitch story ideas, attend workshops, seminars and classes, and experience working writers’ rooms.

During the program, the writers will be paired with executive mentors to offer guidance, including: Brittany Cope (VP, Live-Action Development), Nathan Schram (VP, Animation Development) and Leslie Wishnevski (Manager, Animation Development).

The NWP is building off of another successful year with all of the 2023 cohort working on Nick shows before they finished their time in the Program. The Program had 10 NWP alumni working on Nickelodeon shows at the same time last year, which is a record.

Meet the Writers

Paynudeh Allen

Paynudeh Allen is a Liberian American comedy writer hailing from the great little state of Maryland. Beginning her L.A. career on the hallowed grounds of The Mailroom, she has served as support staff in many writers’ rooms, including the Emmy-nominated Alexa & Katie (Netflix), Marvel’s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Surfside Girls (Apple TV+). She is a proud graduate of Season 1 of TRIBE, a writers’ program created and led by Insecure executive producer and SuperSpecial founder, Amy Aniobi.

In her writing, Paynudeh enjoys exploring both the delightfully mundane and truly weird lives of Black ladies: from haunting their former bullies, to poorly navigating the apocalypse, to being uncool teen girls. If you insist, she will consider writing about men as well.

Sean Bloomstine

Sean Bloomstine is an LGBTQ+ writer and comedian from Erie, Pennsylvania. He attended Boston College, where he received a degree in Economics while pursuing his passion for comedy through improv and sketch. Upon graduating, he was accepted into the NBCUniversal Page Program and has since worked in various positions throughout the industry, most recently as showrunner’s assistant to Aseem Batra.

He also regularly performs stand-up and was named “Best of the Fest” at the 2022 Burbank Comedy Festival. He currently produces and hosts his own stand-up show, Comedy Cookies, featuring up-and-coming comedians — where everyone who attends receives a fresh-baked cookie from his family’s recipe book.

Tanvi Kumar
