iCarly's unexpected cancellation after a gripping cliffhanger ending left fans baffled The talented actor behind Freddie expresses disappointment, revealing the unfinished tales and untold stories that still awaited the beloved characters
Summary
iCarly's revival on Paramount+ has been cancelled after three seasons, leaving viewers and the cast disappointed.
Nathan Kress, who portrayed the character of Freddie, conveyed his appreciation to both the production crew and the audience for their unwavering support. He expressed his desire for a satisfactory conclusion to the story.
The show's cancellation could potentially be attributed to its low ratings and the potential implications of the WGA strikes. However, the gripping cliffhanger ending has left viewers craving for more.
iCarly's Nathan Kress responds to the show's cancellation after three seasons. The popular Nickelodeon series, which aired for six seasons from 2007 to 2012, was revived on Paramount+ in 2021. Kress had the opportunity to reprise his role as Freddie Benson, alongside fellow cast members Miranda Cosgrove (Carly Shay) and Jerry Trainor (Spencer Shay). Sadly, the revival was recently announced to be ending after just three seasons.
Kress took to Twitter to share his reaction to the cancellation, expressing gratitude to the show's production team and the dedicated iCarly fans who made it all possible. He also mentioned the desire for a satisfactory conclusion instead of leaving the story on a cliffhanger. Take a look at his tweet below:
Why Did iCarly Get Cancelled After Season 3?
Kress expressed that the iCarly team still had numerous captivating tales to unveil. Although he regretted not being able to grant the audience the satisfying conclusion they deserved, Kress concluded his statement with a glimmer of hope. He pondered, "Perhaps, in some mysterious way, someday we will uncover the ultimate fate of the storyline" following the conclusion of iCarly season 3.
In the aftermath of the show’s cancellation, Kress echoes the sentiment shared by numerous iCarly fans. As he subtly suggests, the series concludes with an intense cliffhanger as Carly and Spencer’s mother unexpectedly reappears just before Carly and Freddie's wedding, despite her absence throughout the original series and its subsequent revival. Furthermore, the eagerly anticipated wedding ceremony between Carly and Freddie was never witnessed by the audience.
Paramount+ tried to put a positive spin on the cancellation of iCarly by highlighting the long-awaited union of Carly and Freddie. However, the lack of an explicit reason for the cancellation leaves room for speculation, including the possibility of low ratings. The decision may have also been influenced by the WGA strikes, which caused delays in production across the industry.
The cancellation of iCarly not only disappoints viewers but also affects the cast, who dedicated themselves to the show's revival after a significant hiatus. While not all original cast members returned, such as Jeanette McCurdy, those who did were invested in the project. It is understandable that Kress, who portrayed Freddie, would feel a sense of loss and still have hopes of eventually seeing his character's story concluded.
