The Nickelodeon sitcom Victorious is getting a spinoff series featuring one original star. The news comes after the original show ended its run on Nickelodeon 12 years ago.

Originally, Victorious ran for four seasons between 2010 and 2013. Per Deadline, it now has a second spinoff in development with Daniella Monet set to reprise her role as Trina Vega. The project is in development under the working title Hollywood Arts, which could end up changing. Casting is now said to be underway to find co-stars for Monet, and as of now, no other cast members from Victorious are reported as being involved. It would seem that special appearances are not out of the question, but nothing is confirmed.

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,...

“Victorious” has another spinoff in the works, with Daniella Monet set to reprise her role as Trina Vega in a multi-cam Nickelodeon comedy with the working title “Hollywood Arts,” Variety has confirmed.

The series, which is in development and has not yet been greenlit, will follow Trina as she returns to her old stomping grounds to teach students at the fictional Los Angeles performing arts high school. It would mark the second spinoff of “Victorious,” following “Sam & Cat,” starring Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande.

Casting is underway for the spinoff, and it’s unclear whether any other “Victorious” stars — including Victoria Justice — will reprise their roles in “Hollywood Arts.”

Monet, who starred in all four seasons of “Victorious” as the older sister to Justice’s Tori Vega, will executive produce the spinoff alongside Jake Farrow (who was a writer-producer on “Victorious” and “Sam & Cat”) and Samantha Martin.

Exclusive: The Victorious universe is eying further expansion with a second spinoff series, Hollywood Arts (working title). Starring Daniella Monet, who will reprise her role as Trina Vega, the multi-camera comedy is in fast-track development at Nickelodeon, with early casting getting underway, sources tell Deadline.

Produced by Nickelodeon, Hollywood Arts follows Trina returning to her old stomping grounds as the newest teacher at Hollywood’s most elite performing arts school.

Monet serves as an executive producer alongside writers/executive producers Jake Farrow — who was a writer-producer on both Victorious and offshoot Sam & Cat and also voiced Robbie’s puppet Rex Powers on Victorious — and Samantha Martin (Nick’s Henry Danger and The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder).

Victorious creator Dan Schneider, who parted ways with Nickelodeon in 2018, has no involvement in the spinoff. His Nick tenure has been under scrutiny, including in the docuseries Quiet On Set whose producers he is suing for defamation.

Exclusive: Bonnie Arnold and Louise Goodsill have teamed up to adapt Juniper’s Christmas from bestselling author of Artemis Fowl, Eoin Colfer.

The deal was struck by Emily Hayward-Whitlock at The Artists Partnership in association with Sophie Hicks at Sophie Hicks Agency.

“Eoin has created a fresh and imaginative rendering of a contemporary Santa and a brave young heroine, Juniper Lane, who sets out to save Christmas and Santa himself,” Arnold and Goodsill said in a statement. “It’s a special book with unforgettable characters that we look forward to making into a wonderful film for all to enjoy — a family adventure filled with joy.”

Matt Bennett's role as Robbie Shapiro in Victorious showcased unique talent and contributed to the diversity of Hollywood Arts students. Bennett continues to act post-Victorious and has appeared in various TV shows and music videos alongside co-star Ariana Grande. In addition to acting, Bennett has transitioned to DJing, highlighting his multi-talented and artistic abilities outside of his acting career.

Nickelodeon's Victorious co-starred Matt Bennett as Robbie Shapiro, one of the students at the elite performing arts school of the series and since his appearance on the show, Bennett has gone to a fascinating career. Victorious is a 2010s show from the tail-end of Nickelodeon's era of producing live-action sitcoms at a significant rate. As such, it maybe doesn't inspire quite the same love and reverence as earlier shows like iCarly, Drake & Josh, and Keenan and Kel. However, it was still a successful program, with a unique setting and talented actors.

Before Justin Bieber's "Journals," there was Ariana Grande's "Yours Truly."

It was Aug. 30, 2013, and Grande - who rose to fame on Nickelodeon's "Victorious" and "Sam & Cat" - suddenly emerged as a musical superstar with her debut album. Thanks to her dreamy voice and impressive range, the budding phenom, who was then 20 years old, proved she was so much more than just a teen star.

The album was a testament of how '90s R&b, hip-hop, pop, and doo-wop can complement one another. Paired with production by Babyface, The Rascals (Leon Thomas III and Khris Riddick-Tynes), Antonio Dixon, Harmony Samuels, Tommy Brown (aka TBHits), as well as cowriting credits from the aforementioned and Victoria Monét, Sevyn Streeter, Jordin Sparks, and Priscilla Renea (now Muni Long), "Yours Truly" was an instant victory. This dream team fused Grande's instinctual talent and musical theater background to formulate an untapped side of her artistry,...

Ariana Grande is marking the 10th anniversary of her debut album, Yours Truly, with a week-long celebration, which included a Q&a with fans on Saturday.

Leon Thomas III will never be more ready to go solo. Since he was a kid, the actor, singer, songwriter, and producer has always been a piece of a bigger whole - whether he was starring in a Broadway play, ensemble cast on a Nickelodeon show, or in the studio cooking up hits for your favorite artist. But now, the 29-year-old tells Popsugar that it feels like the "perfect time" to break off as his own entity and "let people know what I can do as an artist."

"I was able to start hearing my voice for the first time and feeling connected to singing and music in a different way than I had ever been before."

Thomas is still primarily being recognized for his "Victorious" role, which he admits, at one point, "kind of bothered" him. "I had to really circle back and realize I used to do that,...

Pharoah Sanders, the legendary tenor saxophonist who performed alongside John Coltrane in the mid-1960s, has died. He was 81.

Sanders’ passing was announced on Saturday (Sept. 24) by his record label Luaka Bop, which released the influential jazz musician’s 2021 album, Promises, a collaboration with Floating Points and the London Symphony Orchestra. A cause of death was not provided.

“We are devastated to share that Pharoah Sanders has passed away,” Luaka Bop wrote on Twitter. “He died peacefully surrounded by loving family and friends in Los Angeles earlier this morning. Always and forever the most beautiful human being, may he rest in peace.”

Born in Little Rock, Ark., on Oct. 13, 1940, Sanders — whose real name was Ferrell Sanders — moved to the Bay Area in the late 1950s before relocating to New York City, where he met fellow jazz artist Sun Ra, who encouraged him to take the name Pharoah.

Pharoah Sanders, the saxophonist who helped John Coltrane explore the avant-garde and pushed jazz itself toward the spiritual, has died at the age of 81.

Record label Luaka Bop, which released Sanders and Floating Points’ acclaimed collaboration Promises in 2021, announced the jazz legend’s death Saturday; no cause of death was provided.

“We are devastated to share that Pharoah Sanders has passed away,” the label wrote on Instagram. “He died peacefully surrounded by loving family and friends in Los Angeles earlier this morning. Always and forever the most beautiful human being,...

Ty Dolla $ign.” He never imagined that years later, Ty would not only hop on the song but sign him to his label imprint, Ezmny Records.

Daniella Monet, who starred alongside Victoria Justice and Arianna Grande in Nickelodeon series “Victorious”, is looking back at the show with a critical eye.

Monet, who played Trina Vega on the series, spoke to Insider for an exposé on Dan Schneider, creator of “Victorious” and other Nickelodeon series, who abruptly parted ways with the network in 2018 amidst allegations of abusive behaviour.

While Monet says her experience on the show was largely positive, she admitted that “once in a while” she was asked to do things that felt uncomfortable to her.

After seven Grammy nominations without a full-length album, Giveon has finally released his debut, Give or Take. Over 16 tracks, the singer delivers some of his most personal ballads to date, with help from top-flight producers like Bo-1da, Jahaan Sweet, Sevyn Thomas and Leon Thomas. It was just the album he wanted to make — a place to say everything he wanted to say.

“Every time I am making a song or writing a story, at the moment, I don’t have the intention of where that will be placed,” he says.

If there’s anyone that’s used to difficult circumstances, it’s the Maze Runner stars.

On Tuesday, several of the cast members from the science-fiction film series, including Kaya Scodelario (Teresa), Dylan O’Brien (Thomas), Will Poulter (Gally), Ki Hong Lee (Minho), Dexter Draden (Frypan) and Thomas Brodie-Sangster (Newt) reunited over video chat amid the global coronavirus pandemic.

Scodelario, 28, shared a screenshot from the cast reunion on Instagram. In her caption, the actress threw some slight shade at the third film, which debuted in 2018 to less-than favorable reviews.

“We survived the Glade, the Scorch & whatever the third one was about.

Nickelodeon fans’ dreams came true when the cast of “Victorious” reunited to celebrate the show’s debut 10 years ago.

Ariana Grande, Victoria Justice and their co-stars were supposed to get together in person to commemorate the anniversary, but due to the shelter-in-place rules around the country, the cast all hopped on a Zoom call.

Grande and Justice were joined by Leon Thomas III, Matt Bennett, Avan Jogia, Elizabeth Gillies, Daniella Monet, Eric Lange and creator Dan Schneider.

The new trailer from The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty director Kathryn Bigelow’s Detroit has just exploded onto the public, drenched in racial tension with a Us Marshall played by John Boyega enduring a hate filled interrogation.

Related: Detroit First Trailer and Poster

The trailer depicts a dark and racially charged Us, Detroit to be precise, at the height of the 1967 troubles. Starting with a detained John Boyega as he starts to relay the events of that fateful night where three youngsters were killed, leading to a police raid of excessive gunfire which sees the community take to violent protest. As the trailer unfolds, the two arrogant cops turn the tables on Boyega to lay blame at his feet as war rages on the street whilst “Change is Coming” rings out.

Reuniting with her screenwriting muse Mark Boal, Bigelow digs deep to unearth the events...

During the long, hot summer of 1967, the city of Detroit erupted into a full-blown war zone as police clashed with the predominantly Africa-American population of the inner city.

That civil disturbance, one which would go on to become one of the costliest in American history, was reportedly sparked by a police raid of an unlicensed bar in mid-July, leading to four terrifying days and nights of fiercely controversial incidents, such as the Algiers Motel killings. All of this and more is teased in the tense first trailer for Kathryn Bigelow’s drama, which finds John Boyega’s (Star Wars: The Last Jedi) security guard under interrogation. It’s a remarkably intense and effective scene, and one that tees up the calm before the oncoming storm.

Assuming Bigelow’s real-life drama stays true to the history books – and we’re inclined to believe it will – the story of Detroit will likely unfold over those four days,...

Will Kathryn Bigelow once again find herself in the Oscar conversation following “The Hurt Locker” and “Zero Dark Thirty“? That’s the big question surrounding “Detroit,” which is forgoing any big festival premieres or key fall season release dates, to land right in the middle of summer. But the bow makes sense, giving the explosive true story at its core.

With an ensemble that includes (deep breath) John Boyega, Will Poulter, Algee Smith, Jacob Latimore, Jason Mitchell, Hannah Murray, Kaitlyn Dever, Jack Reynor, Ben O’Toole, Joseph David Jones, Ephraim Sykes, Leon Thomas III, Nathan Davis Jr., Peyton Alex Smith, Malcolm David Kelley, Gbenga Akinnabve, Chris Chalk, Jeremy Strong, Laz Alonzo, Austin Hebert, Miguel Pimentel, Kris Davis, John Krasinski and Anthony Mackie, Bigelow’s film tells the story of civil unrest that lit Detroit like a fuse.

Bigelow has reunited with screenwriter Mark Boal (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty) to tell the gripping story of one of the darkest moments during the civil unrest that rocked Detroit in the summer of 1967, a story of a simple police raid resulting in one of the largest citizen uprisings in the United States history.

Kathryn Bigelow has spent the latter part of her career making films that vibrate with the pulse of the nation. “The Hurt Locker” zeroed in on the fallout from the Iraq War, “Zero Dark Thirty” brought audiences inside the hunt for Osama Bin Laden, and now her latest film “Detroit,” about racial conflict in the city in the late ’60s, is strikingly relevant.

An absolutely staggering cast including John Boyega, John Krasinski, Jason Mitchell, Anthony Mackie, Will Poulter, Jacob Latimore, Joseph David-Jones, Algee Smith, Ben O’Toole, Jack Reynor, Kaitlyn Dever, Hannah Murray, Jeremy Strong, Chris Chalk, Austin Hébert, Ephraim Sykes, Laz Alonso, Nathan Davis Jr., Malcolm David Kelley, Peyton Alex Smith and Leon Thomas III, make up the crime drama that’s set against the backdrop of Detroit’s devastating riots that took place over five haunting summer days in 1967.

Annapurna Pictures is launching a “long planned, full-service distribution and marketing operation” with Kathryn Bigelow’s “Untitled Detroit Project,” according to a statement. The new division will be overseen by president Marc Weinstock, president of marketing David Kaminow, president of distribution Erik Lomis and their respective teams.

Directed by Bigelow, “Untitled Detroit Project” is a crime-drama set against the backdrop of Detroit’s 1967 riots. Bigelow is a producer alongside Annapurna’s Megan Ellison and Matthew Budman. The film’s release date will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the riots.

“Kathryn’s ‘Untitled Detroit Project’ is exemplary of the type of films we will be distributing,” Weinstock said in a statement. “I couldn’t be more confident in the team we are establishing to distribute and market the film in a way that is as creative and masterful as her film is.”

Mark Boal wrote the script and is producing alongside Colin Wilson.

Camila Cabello isn’t the only member of Fifth Harmony who’s flexing out her solo chops: it looks like Lauren Jauregui is about to join the party, too, judging by some recent posts on social media.

According to Instagram, Jauregui is in the studio making some noise with producers such as The Rascals, Ljay Currie, and Tim Suby. Fun fact of the day with The Rascals is that one part of the production duo consists of Leon Thomas III, who was previously best known for starring role on the hit Nickelodeon show, Victorious. The reason why this is relevant is because, besides the fact that he’s a great producer, he worked with fellow Victorious co-star Ariana Grande on her debut record, Yours Truly. If Jauregui’s sound is supposed to have any resemblance whatsoever of Grande’s era from way back when, then we’re going to be in for a treat.
