LOGLINE: In this all-new series, struggling actress Trina Vega (Daniella Monet) returns to her former high school, Hollywood Arts, as an unqualified substitute teacher, quickly finding herself both clashing with and unexpectedly inspiring a new generation of ambitious and talented students as they learn to find their true path at Hollywood's most elite performing arts school.

EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Samantha Martin, Jake Farrow, Daniella Monet, Shauna Phelan, Jonathan Judge

Featuring 16 original songs from the series, the soundtrack showcases a new generation of singers, dancers, comedians, and performers through upbeat pop anthems, emotional ballads, and standout ensemble numbers.

“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.

New 'Garfield' Series to Premiere December 2026 on Paramount+ | First Look

Garfield is back, and he's ready to Roomba.

The world's most famous orange cat is returning to his old-school 2D glory in the new Paramount+ animated series Garfield, set to premiere this December on the streaming service. To celebrate the upcoming release, USA TODAY has unveiled a first look at the all new series.

After years of computer-generated Garfield adventures, including the 2007-2009 movie trilogy and 2024's 3D The Garfield Movie (voiced by Chris Pratt), the lasagna-loving, Monday-loathing Garfield is returning to OG style – the style made famous by Jim Davis' original 1978 comic strip and the beloved CBS animated series Garfield and Friends (1988-1994).

Even Garfield's notoriously oversized feet have been scaled back to better resemble his classic animated appearance.

"It's actually been 30 years since there's been a 2D Garfield," says Dave H. Johnson, who executive produces the Nickelodeon Animation Studios series with John Trabbic III. "Recent generations that grew up on Garfield don't know it existed as a comic or a 2D show. This feels new because it hasn't been seen in so long. This is Garfield at his most Garfield. We're coming home."

"We're aware that we're in the world of Ozempic and body shaming," Johnson adds. "Garfield is on his own track. That world is not important to him."

But this isn't simply the Garfield of yesteryear.

Moving from the suburbs to the city, Garfield continues to love all variations of gooey, cheese-covered lasagna. His famous green armchair has given way to a two-seater couch – and even a suspiciously stained futon scavenged from his apartment building.

The feline still adores his pink-furred girlfriend, Arlene (voiced by Michelle Ortiz), who's lost her signature red lips. Now a streetwise bodega cat, Arlene knows what's happening around town and isn't afraid to challenge her famously self-absorbed boyfriend.

Long-suffering human companion Jon Arbuckle (voiced by Joe Brogie), who carries an iPhone, has received his own fashion update, trading his blue button-down look for decidedly more casual, millennial attire.

Garfield's new city home with Jon and dog frenemy Odie opens the door to new characters, including Paulie, the mysterious bodega owner, and a sewer-dwelling alligator. The updated world has given Garfield, a frequent battler of vacuum cleaners, a new technological obsession: the Roomba cleaner.

Garfield the cat is back in the new Paramount+ series "Garfield," with "New Girl" star Lamorne Morris voicing the famous feline and Joe Brogie voicing Jon Arbuckle. The series, executive produced by Dave H. Johnson and John Trabbic III, sees Garfield return to the traditional 2D look of Jim Davis' original 1978 comic strip. "This is Garfield at his most Garfield. We're coming home," says Johnson

Never one to expend unnecessary energy, Garfield manages to harness the tech to his own advantage for a ride.

"That's totally Garfield," says Trabbic. "How funny is it to see this fat cat ride this cleaner like the Green Goblin?"

"Garfield can be TikTok famous," Johnson adds.

The famous feline also has a new voice. Emmy-winning New Girl and Fargo star Lamorne Morris takes over a role previously voiced by such stars as Lorenzo Music, Bill Murray and, most recently, Pratt.

Trabbic says Morris was their only choice after playing Winston Bishop in New Girl.

"He was our first pick, our only pick," Trabbic says. "He's got the swagger that Garfield has. The decision was just like, 'It's him.'"

The new series leans into Garfield's rich holiday history with a holiday episode inspired by Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, with one of the ghosts appearing in lasagna form. But there's no reforming this cat.

"Garfield is the ultimate dream fulfillment character," Trabbic says. "He does what he wants, says what he wants and eats what he wants."

The series creators insist there may never have been a better time for a character whose entire existence revolves around eating, sleeping and having other people do things for him.

"We have never lived in a more narcissistic time in our lives," Johnson says. "We're about ourselves, about wanting more and doing less, about sleeping and about other people doing things for us. Garfield is more pertinent now than ever before. We're not pulling any punches, because he is all of us."

'Krusty Klicker' SpongeBob Game Soft-Launches on Paramount+

Skydance is fully getting into the gaming business on streaming.

Paramount+ has soft-launched games inside the streaming service, our friends over at What's on Paramount+ are reporting.

The first game available to play is the SpongeBob SquarePants-inspired Krusty Klicker. Based on Nickelodeon's long-running beloved animated series, Krusty Klicker is a idle clicker game where you run your restaurant and become a Krabby Patty mogal. It’s a typical idle clicker like Cookie Clicker and Adventure Capitalist. The game is not available for kids’ profiles for now, like most beta features Paramount+ adds.

The game is created by the newly launched Paramount Games Studio, which folded Skydance New Media and Skydance Interactive and is currently a sibling company to Warner Bros. Games. Both are set to merge together amid layoffs at the combined company.

Adding games marks a shift in the streaming services market, as companies like Paramount+ look for ways to reduce churn and increase engagement with their apps. So far, Paramount+ has introduced Clips, TikTok-style vertical videos, gaming, and will soon launch shopping directly inside the app.

The news comes ahead of Paramount+ and HBO Max soon converging their tech stacks, with HBO Max incorporating Paramount+’s backend before the two merge by 2028.
