The day has finally come—the iCarlyReboot is here! Sadly, JennetteMcCurdy (A.K.A. Sam) decided not to join the cast this time around. And here's why,
If you’re a diehard of the original, you may be wondering why Sam isn’t in the iCarly reboot and whether Jennette McCurdy’s character could return for a future season of the revival.
After iCarly‘s finale, McCurdy starred in a spinoff alongside Ariana Grande titled Sam & Cat. The show followed Sam and Grande’s Victorious character, Cat Valentine, as they become roommates and start a babysitting business. The series ran for one season from 2013 to 2014. Given McCurdy’s popularity with Nickelodeon, fans expected her to be in the iCarly revival. So why isn’t Sam in the iCarly reboot? Read on to find out.
McCurdy’s mom, Debbie, died in September 2013 after a 17-year-long battle with breast cancer. On the podcast, McCurdy revealed that her mom’s death led her to reevaluate her acting career and roles she’s played in the past, including Sam. “I ultimately quit after my mom passed away, because with her death kind of died a lot of her ideas for my life, and that was its own journey and a difficult one for sure,” she said.
Carly’s new best friend/roommate will be part of the LGBTQ+ community as a pansexual character who dreams of becoming a fashion stylist after her wealthy family lost all of their money. The character will also serve to push Carly out of her comfort zone as they confront day to day obstacles. “Hey #iCarly tweeps! I’m seeing a looooot of racist abuse being hurled at one of our stars & I’d love if you’d join me in calling it out it when/if you see it,” she tweeted in May.
