‘Victorious' Spinoff ‘Hollywood Arts' in Development at Nickelodeon
A new 'Victorious' spinoff is in the works at Nickelodeon, TheWrap has learned. The network is in the midst of developing a series centered on Trina Vega (Daniella Monet), the older sister of 'Victorious' lead Tori (Victoria Justice). Its working title, 'Hollywood Arts,' is a reference to the fictitious performing arts high school featured in 'Victorious.' If it receives an official greenlight from Nickelodeon, the comedy will follow Monet's Trina as she returns to Hollywood Arts High School as a teacher. In addition to leading the series, Monet is also attached as an executive producer alongside writers Samantha Martin and Jake Farrow, the latter of whom previously worked as a writer and producer on both 'Victorious' and its first spinoff 'Sam & Cat.' Monet and fellow 'Victorious' co-star Avan Jogia posted about 'Hollywood Arts' on their respective Instagram Stories on Thursday. Jogia wrote that he 'could not be happier' for Monet, to which she responded, 'Love you.' Created by 'Quiet on Set' subject Dan Schneider, 'Victorious' follows the teenage students of an elite performing arts school as they regularly get into wacky hijinks while pursuing their own artistic dreams. The series ran on Nickelodeon for four seasons from 2010 to 2013. The core 'Victorious' cast not only included Justice, Monet, Jogia, Leon Thomas III, Matt Bennett and Liz Gillies, but also, notably, a then-up-and-coming Ariana Grande. The 'Wicked' star subsequently reprised her role as Cat Valentine in the joint 'Victorious' and 'iCarly' spinoff 'Sam & Cat,' which only lasted one year on Nickelodeon but ran for 35 episodes in that time. Schneider, who created 'Victorious,' 'Sam & Cat' and a number of other Nickelodeon shows, is not involved in 'Hollywood Arts.' The producer and TV creator exited Nickelodeon in 2018. In 2024, Investigation Discovery released 'Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,' a five-part documentary series about the toxic environment that was created and disturbing behavior that was permitted on Schneider's children's TV projects during his tenure at Nickelodeon. In response, Schneider initially posted a YouTube video apologizing for some of his past actions, but later sued the 'Quiet on Set' producers for defamation. Outside of Monet, it's unclear who else might star in 'Hollywood Arts' should it move forward at Nickelodeon. Cameos from co-stars like Justice, Jogia and others don't seem out of the question, but 'Victorious' fans will have to wait for the time being to learn more about the spinoff and its official cast.

"Victorious" Is Officially Getting A Spinoff TV Show Starring Daniella Monet As Trina, And The Plot Just Made Me Spit Out My Water
Calling all Gen Z'ers! I've got some INCREDIBLE news for you. You better hold onto your hats. One of the greatest kids' shows in history, Victorious, is officially getting a spinoff series. It's going to be produced by Nickelodeon, and it's in "fast-track development," according to Deadline. The project is tentatively called Hollywood Arts, which, if you know anything at ALL, is the name of the arts high school the Victorious characters attend. So I have a sneeeeeaking suspicion we're gonna see those gloriously unique lockers again. And before I spill what it'll be about, let me get this out of the way: Dan Schneider is not part of the project (phew). The lead writers and executive producers include Jake Farrow, who wrote and produced Victorious and Sam & Cat — AND he voiced the icon, Rex Powers. So now, the most important part. What the heck will it be about?!?! Two words: TRINA. VEGA. The show is centred around the queen herself. All hail!! Of course, that means one thing: Daniella Monet will reprise her role as Trina and star in the show (!!!!). Lucky for us, we also got a plot description for the series, which gives us more than a little hint as to what Trina is up to nowadays. " Hollywood Arts follows Trina returning to her old stomping grounds as the newest teacher at Hollywood's most elite performing arts school," Deadline reports. Yep, we're gonna see Trina as a teacher at Hollywood Arts. I did NOT think I'd ever write that sentence. Unfortunately, no other cast members have been confirmed *yet* — but if I had to guess, we MIGHT see a cameo from Victoria Justice if we're lucky. They're on-screen sisters and friends IRL, after all! Let's all cross our fingers for cameos from Liz Gillies (Jade), Matt Bennett (Robbie), Leon Thomas III (Andre), Avan Jogia (Beck), and even Oscar-nominated LEGEND Ariana Grande. But I think Matt is the most likely out of that bunch, since he's arguably the most connected to his Victorious roots. Anyway, I'll let you know if we get any new jaw-dropping details — like, maybe we'll get confirmation of a "Chicago" reprise, which would make me sob with joy. But until then, can we please freak out about this together? TRINA VEGA IS COMING TO SAVE 2025!!! I'm inviting you to fangirl with me in the comments below.

Victorious Sequel Series, Starring Daniella Monet, in Development at Nickelodeon
It might be time to sing through the halls of Hollywood Arts High School again. Nickelodeon is developing another Victorious spinoff series, Hollywood Arts (working title), with Daniella Monet returning as her original character Trina Vega, TVLine has confirmed. More from TVLine SNL 50th Anniversary Special Reveals First Wave of Guests in New Promo TVLine Items: Denise Richards Reality Series Premiere, Muhammad Ali's Parents Cast and More Love It or List It Renewed at HGTV - Find Out Who Is Replacing Hilary Farr This time around, the potential spinoff will see Trina 'returning to her old stomping grounds as the newest teacher at Hollywood's most elite performing arts school,' per the series logline originally reported by our sister site Deadline. It's unclear if more of the original cast will return for the project, namely Grammy winner and Oscar nominee Ariana Grande, who starred as Cat Valentine in Victorious and its initial 2013 spinoff Sam & Cat. Victoria Justice, who headlined Victorious as Trina's sister, Tori Vega, is also not currently involved. Monet will not only return as her original character, but will also serve as executive producer alongside writer and EP Jake Farrow (who also wrote and exec-produced both Victorious and Sam & Cat) and Samantha Martin. Victorious creator Dan Schneider reportedly has no involvement with the spinoff, following a controversy-fueled exit from Nickelodeon in 2018. Victorious aired from 2010 to 2013 and followed aspiring singer Tori Vega as she attended Hollywood Arts High School alongside Trina, who was a senior at the school. While there, she met André Harris (Leon Thomas III), Robbie Shapiro (Matt Bennett), Jade West (Elizabeth Gillies), Cat Valentine (Grande) and Beck Oliver (Avan Jogia).
