The iCarly reboot is finally almost here, but just before the show premieres this week,
Jerry Trainor AKA Spencer spilled about how the new series will include "sexual situations."
Let’s get into what he said!
We’ve all been counting down the days until the iCarly revival premiere and on Thursday,
we’ll finally get to watch the show we’ve been waiting for!
But just days before the reboot is set to be released, Jerry Trainer is revealing some
more tea about the upcoming highly anticipated series.
If you’ve been keeping up with the iCarly cast, you know that they’ve made it very
clear that the show is going to be different this time around than the original series.
While yes, there will be many of the same cast members and inside jokes we know and
love from the original series, this time, the show is going to be made for a more mature
audience.
And in our exclusive Clevver interview with the iCarly cast, Jerry said that at first,
he was nervous about aiming the show for an older audience, but it quickly became exciting.
“We’re all back in the mix and we’re gonna aim it more at you know the 20-somethings,
the people that grew up with the show then it started getting exciting and like has this
ever been done? I don’t think so! Let’s do it.”
And now, he spoke to Page Six about how exactly the show will be catered towards 20-somethings,
rather than kids.
Jerry explained that quote, “We're going to toe that line, you know what I mean? It's
not going to be super-raw. But yeah, there's going to be sexual situations. And you know,
I say 'damn it' in the trailer, which had everyone in a tizzy, but you know we're grown-ups."
And fans remember that in the original iCarly series, reference to a “sexual situation”
pretty much began and ended with just kissing because of the young audience.
So it will definitely be interesting to see where this new series takes the cast! Pun
intended!
And Nathan Kress, who plays Freddie, also chimed in during the interview agreeing with
Jerry.
Nathan said quote, "This is an adult show and it's not specifically for kids. And that's
been exciting for us — to just see where these characters from a kid's show would be
and where they are in their life now, 10 years later. But in a very realistic, non-glossy
way."
In a separate interview Miranda Cosgrove told J-14 something similar saying quote, “My
biggest hope for the revival is that it brings the people who watched the original series
a lot of joy. The new show is mainly being made with all the original fans in mind. Although
we hope families will enjoy it together, this version of the show will be more mature and
follow our lives now."
So it sounds like iCarly is getting to do everything that Hilary Duff hoped she’d
get to do with the Lizze McGuire reboot, but couldn’t.
As fans recall, Lizzie McGuire was set to be rebooted for Disney+ but the show was cancelled
when Hilary and Disney didn’t see eye to eye on where the character of Lizzie would
be at this point in her life.
One fan suggested: “You see how Nick is putting iCarly on Paramount+ cause it’s
a little more grown up. Now why can’t Disney just do that and put the Lizzie McGuire reboot
on Hulu?”
During an interview on The Jess Cagle Show, Hilary said quote, “I think they are really
trying to figure out what kind of content they want living on Disney+, and that doesn’t
totally align with, like, where I see Lizzie right now. I’m very protective of her and
they’re very protective of her.”
And Hilary continued on saying that QUOTE, “for her, it only makes sense to her to
shoot a show where Lizzie is acting like a 30-year-old in a modern world.”
Unfortunately, they didn’t get to make that show, but it will be interesting to see the
iCarly cast do what Hilary was hoping for with Lizze McGuire.
Just from the trailer we see the cast drinking beer and going on dates, definitely a bit
different from the original iCarly series!
“Hot beers! That’s the last time I listen to Guy Fieri. I am in no place to date. Freddie
I put your warm milk in your thermos next to your bed. So are we done here?”
And we can’t wait to see what else the iCarly reboot brings when the show premieres this
Thursday! For now, if you want more on what to expect from the new iCarly, click
