The final phrase Carly mentioned within the reboot of iCarly was “Mother?” Which led to her buddy Harper exclaiming, “You gotta mother?!?” Then it ended there, like, for good. Yep, after Season 3 closed on that cliffhanger, the iCarly reboot obtained canceled. Nevertheless, after two years and some teases about what may come, Miranda Cosgrove has given an replace about the way forward for her beloved character, explaining {that a} film is on the best way and it will deal with that cliffhanger we’ve been hanging onto for years now.

It is being written, which is actually thrilling. And it appears prefer it’s taking place. I am actually excited.
Yay! Whereas the iCarly reboot won’t have been needed, I actually loved it. It was an excellent enjoyable comedy that gave us a brand new look into the lives of those characters that many people (myself included) grew up with.
We additionally witnessed a historic second play out as Carly and Freddie lastly obtained collectively. Plus, we obtained to see a extra mature facet of those characters and, you realize, they obtained to curse too. Finally, iCarly additionally served as a enjoyable and wholesome dose of nostalgia for these of us who grew up watching the unique present on Nickelodeon. So, all of that made the cancellation an enormous bummer.
Nevertheless, what made it a fair more durable tablet to swallow was the cliffhanger. Over the course of the present’s whole run — the OG was on from 2007 to 2012 and the reboot was round from 2021 to 2023 — we by no means met Carly and Spencer’s mother. So, the truth that she confirmed up on the very finish of that remaining episode (which you’ll be able to stream with a Paramount+ subscription) was a super-duper large deal.
Fortunately, if this film Cosgrove is speaking about occurs, we’ll get to see what occurs after that remaining second within the finale. The Carly actress confirmed that too, saying:
We do not know who’s going to play the mother character but, however she’s going to be an enormous a part of the film. That is thrilling. We’re simply excited to begin it and really movie.
Contemplating the bombshell of Season 3 needed to do together with her mother being again, I’m thrilled that is confirmed, and I can’t wait to see who performs Carly and Spencer’s mom. Additionally, I’m curious to see how each siblings react to her return, since she’s been absent from their lives for a really, very very long time. It looks like an ideal and doubtlessly full-circle story to finish on too, contemplating the unique collection confirmed Spencer primarily elevating Carly himself, as a result of each their mother and father have been gone.
Whereas Miranda Cosgrove has teased this film for some time now, and followers clearly need iCarly to return again, that is the primary signal of ahead momentum we’ve gotten in a very long time. So, right here’s hoping it truly occurs!
Within the meantime, you may stream Cosgrove’s venture on the 2025 film schedule, The Fallacious Paris, with a Netflix subscription on September 12, and you may at all times return and relive the nice ol’ iCarly days on Paramount+.
