Netflix Revives ‘Victorious’ Magic With New Spinoff
Fans of Nickelodeon’s beloved series Victorious have reason to celebrate—Netflix has officially ordered Hollywood Arts, a spinoff starring Daniella Monet reprising her iconic role as Trina Vega. The announcement has sparked excitement among fans eager for a return to the quirky world of Hollywood Arts High School.
What We Know About ‘Hollywood Arts’
While plot specifics are still under wraps, Hollywood Arts will center on Trina Vega’s post-graduation adventures as she chases fame in the entertainment industry. Monet, who also serves as an executive producer, teased the project on social media with a playful nod to Trina’s signature confidence:
“Trina’s back, and she’s ready to shine (whether you’re ready or not).”
Original Victorious creator Dan Schneider and key writers are involved, ensuring the spinoff retains the humor and charm of the original. Rumors suggest potential cameos from other cast members, though nothing has been confirmed.
Why This Spinoff Could Be a Hit
Netflix’s move taps into the growing trend of rebooting nostalgic favorites for streaming audiences. With successful revivals like iCarly and Cobra Kai, the platform is betting on Hollywood Arts to attract both longtime fans and new viewers.
For Daniella Monet, the project marks a major return to acting after focusing on activism (veganism, sustainability) and motherhood. Her involvement guarantees Trina’s chaotic energy will remain front and center.
Fan Reactions and Speculation
Social media exploded with excitement, though some fans questioned whether Trina could carry a series without the original ensemble. Others hope for appearances from Victoria Justice (Tori Vega), Ariana Grande (Cat Valentine), or Liz Gillies (Jade West).
The show’s tone is another point of intrigue—will it mirror Victorious’s lighthearted humor or adopt a more mature style for Netflix’s audience?
Nickelodeon’s Streaming Strategy
Hollywood Arts joins a wave of Nickelodeon reboots headed to streaming, including Zoey 101 and Dora the Explorer. The network is leveraging its classic IP to compete in the crowded streaming market.
Release Details
Production begins in early 2025, with a likely premiere later that year. Until then, fans can revisit Victorious on Netflix—and debate whether Trina’s solo act will be a masterpiece or a beautiful disaster.
