ICARLY TEASED TO PROPERLY WRAP UP ITS STORY AFTER PARAMOUNT+ CANCELATION

Fans were disappointed when the iCarly revival was canceled after three seasons on Paramount+. However, series star Miranda Cosgrove hopes to bring her character's story to a close in a movie.

"I'm pretty sure it's gonna happen," Cosgrove told Variety when asked about iCarly during the Despicable Me 4 press tour. "So I'm excited, and I'd love to get to wrap up the story." The revival series premieres on Paramount+ in 2021, followed by Season 2 in April 2022 and Season 3 in June 2023. Set nine years after the original Nickelodeon series, the story sees Carly Shay (Cosgrove) return to Seattle, where she shares an apartment in Bushwell Plaza with her roommate Harper (Laci Mosley).

Carly's older brother Spencer (Jerry Trainor) has become a rich artist after accidentally creating a sculpture that took the world by storm. Freddie Benson (Nathan Kress) returned to live with his mother following two divorces and a failed tech start-up, bringing along his adopted 11-year-old stepdaughter, Millicent (Jaidyn Triplett). When Carly decides to relaunch her "iCarly" web show with the help of her friends, her project gets mainstream attention.

The Infamous iCarly Revival Cliffhanger

The iCarly Season3 finale, "iHave a Proposal," ended on a cliffhanger. The episode revolved around the wedding of Freddie's mom, Marissa, and Lewbert. When the couple decides to elope, Carly and Freddie consider getting married themselves, but before they can discuss it further, Spencer and Carly are stunned when their mother, who abandoned them as children, unexpectedly arrives at the venue. Fans were unhappy with the series ending this way.

While an iCarly movie has not officially been confirmed, Cosgrove can be seen in the animated feature film Despicable Me 4. When asked about the challenges of reprising her role as the teenage Margo opposite an army of Minions as a 31-year-old, she said, "I try to make my voice a little higher and younger when I do the part, but it's nothing crazy. I kind of have a pretty easy job. It's usually just really fun."

Per the official synopsis, Despicable Me 4 finds Gru living a happy family life with his three adopted daughters, his wife Lucy and baby son, Gru Jr., who's intent on tormenting his dad. "However, their peaceful existence soon comes crashing down when criminal mastermind Maxime Le Mal escapes from prison and vows revenge against Gru."

All three seasons of the iCarly revival are streaming on Paramount+. Despicable Me 4 is playing in theaters.
