Take one. Mark.
Action.
Hey, guys, I'm Miranda Cosgrove and I played Carly Shae.
Uh, hello. I am Jerry Trainor, and I play Spencer on iCarly.
What's up, everybody? Nathan Chris here. Freddie on...
well, I Carly, but also...
this.
Hi, my name is Laci Mosley
and I play Harper, Carly's best friend.
Hi, guys. I'm Jaidyn and I play Millicent on iCarly.
This. This new thing. This new thing that's happening.
Years later, I will continue to play Spencer, it turns out.
So here we are.
Time is a flat circle.
[giggling]
Welcome. I'm happy that you're here.
Because of COVID and everything
the first table read was over Zoom,
but it was still really fun and it was awesome
just getting to get the gang back together again
and see everyone and step back into these characters.
Are we all looking at the same thing?
The big opal crap?
[chuckles] It's art. Not everyone has to like it.
Why don't you like it?
I clicked right out of this email.
Harper, I gotta know!
Why don't you like this sculpture?! Please!
Ah, one second!
How does it feel to be back on set?
Uh, it feels very strange, uh, because it was unexpected.
Man, this whole thing has just been such a blast
and so surreal to be doing something that feels
very familiar in a lot of ways,
but also very new and very different
and I think, as far as the fans at home are concerned,
very unexpected.
Coming on iCarly got me super excited
because it feels so nostalgic to be, like, to be on these sets
that are, you know, designed so much like the original
and seeing, like, these...
Uh, like, the soda can guy is here.
Like, stuff that I've seen as a child,
like, in person is so cool.
It's really fun, actually. Like, everybody is so nice
and I've been on a lot of, like, different shows
that have negative energy.
And here it's just so positive and everyone's so nice.
I don't want to give too much away,
but, you know, I don't think a reboot or a revival
has been done quite like this, where something that was so...
sort of geared towards young people is,
now, ten years later,
we're aiming at those same people
that grew up with the show
and it's like,
"What have the characters' lives turned out to be?"
Maybe not what we expected?
Um, which is how real life happens.
On this new version of iCarly,
it's definitely made with the people in mind
who loved the show from before,
so it's been really fun getting to make
a more mature and elevated version
of the old iCarly and just see what these characters
are doing now that they're in their twenties.
This version is super dope because now
we're all millennials, you know what I mean?
So we have jobs, we have grown up problems,
and it's fun to see these fun characters, like, as adults.
We're doing something that we hope will feel
very comfortable and like putting on a fuzzy blanket,
but in a way that shakes things up a little bit.
I can't talk to him.
I'm just... It's a disaster.
I'm not dating. I'm not making videos.
I'm just so embarrassed about my life.
And you should be!
Your legs look like Eugene Levy's upper ass.
You said that was feminist.
- I lied! - Who can I trust?
Carly...
Missing the cast is a nuanced position.
Sometimes you just need space from your family.
I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I missed everyone so much.
Yeah, it's just been great getting to be
with Nathan and Jerry.
I mean, they're honestly two of my oldest friends.
The best part of coming back is...
is obviously seeing Miranda and Nathan.
And I've kept in touch all these years.
They're so grown up now.
Nathan's wife is about to have a baby,
so we're going to get to be around during all that,
which is gonna be really fun.
We get to see each other...
We saw each other pretty regularly.
Uh, pre-pandemic, of course.
But there's been a long period
of not getting to see each other, obviously,
with everything that's gone on in the world.
So getting to reunite in this way
has been very unexpected.
It's just been awesome hanging out with Jerry.
He is very good listener, I'll give him that. [laughs]
Everyone is so fun.
Everyone is so nice, funny.
Jerry is super annoying, by the way.
I can't even stand him.
But, you know, he's fun to work with.
Everybody is super fun to work with.
And, you know, it's all just a fun relationship.
We were, I think, all nervous.
Like, "What is this going to be? Are we gonna still have it?"
As soon as the three of us got on stage together,
it was like... We were the same.
I'm just messing with them, making jokes.
We're just ripping on each other.
It's like nothing changed.
It's... That has been a blast and a real treat.
The interactions have been great.
Uh, it just feels like coming home.
It's so interesting joining this cast
because I obviously watched iCarly
as a child growing up and never thought
that I would actually somehow end up on the show.
The cast is super nice
and it feels like I've known them forever,
which is fun to me,
because they've known each other for so long.
I feel really included and everyone's super nice.
It's been a very strange mix of emotions and feelings,
but it's all good stuff.
It's all very exciting.
Uh, and I think people are going to be pretty psyched about this
when they get to see a little more.
There's something for everybody in this show.
If you were an old Stan of the show,
there's tiny little Easter eggs and jokes
that you'll hear, that you'll love
and you'll remember from the original.
And if you're new, then you get to see these grown up adults,
you know, act so silly and have a good time
and it's a fun show to watch and chill.
I can't wait for you guys to see me on the new iCarly.
I've got to go finish filming so I'll see you guys later.
Bye!
