Nickelodeon hasn’t renewed Sam & Cat for a second season but they might as well have. The cable channel has just doubled their first season order, bringing the season total to 40 episodes, reports THR.
The June 8th series premiere was the cable channel’s biggest live-action launch in three years, attracting 4.2 million viewers.
“It’s a very tall order but it also feels great. The show has been so well-received, and competition is greater than ever these days. Making a hit show is even more challenging today than, say, 10 years ago,” Sam & Cat creator Dan Schneider said. “It’s a little daunting to do 40 episodes in your first season, but what makes it fun is the success, because we’re all sharing in that.”
Production on the intial episode order will wrap late this month. The writers will start working on the additional 20 episodes of Sam & Cat in September.
There’s no word on when those installments will start running but only four episodes of the initial order have been aired so far.
What do you think? Are you glad to hear there’s even more Sam & Cat on the way?
I have followed both actresses/comedians since their roles in I Carly and Victorious and they are both great at their craft. Always keep me entertained and laughing. Glad that they will be around a lot longer than anticipated. By the way if you didn’t see Cat perform at President..’s salute to Woman of Song ,DO
I am soo relieved that these more on the way
Yes I am very happy there is more sam and cat! I hope it goes on for a long time just like icarly did! Icarly was my favorite show and I was so upset when it ended! Sam and cat is awesome just like icary!
Can’t Nickelodeon see it’s our favorite show and we don’t want it to end!
We all love Sam and Cat
i love sam and cat! i hope they make a third season
It is a good thing they are makeing more episodes i love sam and cat and i bet lots more people do to
sam(jennette) is my favorite character
i would love it if there is more sam and cat coming its a great awesome show
24 years old and I love the show. I was more of an Icarly fan But, when this show came out I think it beat Icarly by a long shot. Nick would be dumb to end it in just after season 1 just because of 40 episodes. My guess is if we find out if it gonna be renewed it will be sometime around the second part of this season
I love Sam & Cat. It’s the best show ever. Nickelodeon better not cancell it. they cancell almost every show they put on in the first season. which leads to why disney is better than nick. and i can’t wait to see the one hour episode of sam and cat tonight.
I love Sam And Cat. Ariana Grande is my favorite famous person.
No this show is stupid and should not be renewed. Sam is not in school is a horrible example to kids and Cats voice is extremely annoying.
Sam is in school. She just does it online now thats all.
Icarly and victorious should guest star on Sam and cat
Sam and Cat is the best show ever
They better do a season 2!!!
The show really needs work, restructuring. It was all a dream. Cat wakes up back at the performing arts high school. Sam wakes up in a cot on a USMC base.
