Nickeloedeon has decided to cancel their Victorious sitcom after three seasons and 60 episodes. The cable channel released a statement saying that they “will not be moving forward with production on a fourth season of Victorious following the final season that will premiere this fall.”
The statement continued, “We are very proud of the show, its very talented cast, and our audience will continue to see many of them in upcoming new Nickelodeon projects.”
Created by Dan Schneider, Victorious revolves around Tori Vega, a teenager who’s accepted into the Hollywood Arts High School, a school for talented teens in various performing-arts fields. The series features the talents of Victoria Justice, Leon Thomas III, Matt Bennett, Elizabeth Gillies, Ariana Grande, Avan Jogia, and Daniella Monet.
Schneider addressed today’s cancellation in a blog post:
Hey guys!
If I misspell anything in this post, please forgive me – I’m in the back seat of a car, typing on my phone! Okay, first things first… There is a whole NEW season of Victorious coming your way. We just finished shooting 15 new episodes, and they’re amazing. If you love Victorious, I feel sure you will love the NEW episodes coming! By now, a lot of you have heard that Victorious will not be returning for a 4th season. That is true. This was the network’s decision – not mine. Please understand: Almost all Nickelodeon shows have a life of about 60 episodes. We made around 60 episodes of Drake & Josh… of Zoey 101… and we made 41 episodes of The Amanda Show… and all those shows were big hits. So, it’s not unusual for a Nick show to do a run of just 60 episodes. I would love to have made more than 60 of Victorious, but that’s how it usually goes.We’re extremely proud of the show, and all we’ve accomplished. Also – and it’s really important that you know this – the network’s decision about Victorious had nothing to do with Gibby or Sam & Cat. I promise. Even if there was no Gibby and no Sam & Cat – the network still would have ended Victorious after its 60-episode run. I know that some of you are upset and angry – and while I feel terrible about that, I’m also flattered by it. I really appreciate that you care so much. It means you love the show, which makes me feel very proud. But I ask that you please not be angry with Victoria, or Leon, Liz, Ariana, Avan… or ANY of the Victorious cast members or staff. They all wanted Victorious to continue – so did I. But remember! Stay psyched about the 15 new episodes of Victorious coming your way!
And I hope you’ll continue to support Victoria Justice, and me, and all the stars of Victorious. I can almost guarantee you – they will make a big impact on the future of entertainment. And finally… of course… I will keep making the best, funniest TV shows I know how to make, for as long as people have fun watching them. I’ll see you online later, and I’ll try to answer some of your questions. Thanks for listening. As always, please be nice to each other.
Love, –Dan
Victorious will be the second of Schneider’s series that will end this year, along with iCarly. Still, he’ll continue to be busy with two recently announced iCarly spin-off pilots — Sam & Cat, headlining Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande, and Gibby starring by Noah Munck.
What do you think? Do you enjoy Victorious? Are you sorry to hear that the show has been cancelled?
I’m so sad because it ended it was a really great show and i love it i know some people is upset or angry cause it ended but me i’m just sad i’m not upset or angry cause i understand that they and it it because there are just allowed to create 60 episodes only and i’m feeling sorry cause everybody really love the show me too i love the show and everybody sad and the characters there are so talented i’m not expecting that a movie would be like that amazing to the angry and upset i know you… Read more »
im so sad that victorious has cancelled it was a great show and its funny and i love the show its fun to watch and thank you for making it
I truly thought they would reconsider and finish the last season of victorious. I also love Icarly and I just wish they would bring victorious back for the last time.
I whished that this continued I loved the series how to rock and this one too, i was looking for what happened to HTR (how to rock) and when i realised it also said that Victorious got cancelled aswell, i am very sad this series always made me happy when i was sad, i will mis this series so much, Great job Dan and The casts, good luck with any other shows
Man Dan you should do shows for Disney cause I doesn’t make sense what nickelodeon does it glues everyone to the show and they snatches it away from kids and that’s dumb really
I would only love if this TV show would come out again and make new episodes that’s my only wish it was the best TV show of all times
I miss this TV show I hope or it would be awesome if the TV show Victorious would come back I miss it all the new TV shows are different from the ones that bin dropped down I only would like if they would reunite the people and make the TV show victorious come back
I have a great idea for a new TV show. Like “sam&cat” you should put some cast from “victorious” and some cast from “¡Carly” and put them together. Like Carly,Jade,Beck,and Fredie.the all go to a universaty in Europe were Carly lives. But Beck and Jade are still together.Carly sudenly falls for Fredie .Fredie is still in love with Sam and tries yo forget her by deating Carly. The tv show shock be about their new lives and romances.
Tears are actually streaming down my face right now, why does Nickelodeon only have to do a 60 ep run? It’s ridiculous
