All spoilers for the original TV series are unmarked. You Have Been Warned!iCarly is an American web television sitcom streaming on Paramount+. It is a revival of the Nickelodeon sitcom of the same name. Miranda Cosgrove, Nathan Kress, and Jerry Trainor returned to reprise their roles as Carly Shay, Freddie Benson, and Spencer Shay respectively. Jennette McCurdy and Noah Munck did not reprise their roles as Sam Puckett and Gibby Gibson respectively due to the former's retirement from acting and the latter pursuing other projects, leading to their characters being excluded.In this revival series, Carly and Freddie are all grown up and Spencer is now filthy rich after his half-meltednote due to his cell phone randomly catching fire next to it marshmallow white house sculpture received lots of praise and sold for a ton of money. Carly has her own apartment right across from her brother, which she shares with her new best friend Harper Bettencourt (played by Laci Mosley), a pansexual barista who dreams of being a stylist. Carly's long-time boyfriend Beau dumps her during a livestream, and she falls into a deep depression. A month later, she encounters New Old Flame Luke at one of Spencer's parties and, to make Beau jealous, plans to launch a new web show with Luke, only for her to call things off her mind after realizing she and Luke have no chemistry.Carly really misses doing the iCarly web show and decides to resurrect it. But since Sam is no longer around after having joined a motorcycle gang called the Obliterators, Carly decides to host the show on her own, with Freddie once again behind the camera (actually a Pearphone this time) and Spencer providing assistance whenever needed. Freddie, meanwhile, has been through two failed marriages and a startup company that went under, so he's back living with his mother — only now he's joined by his adopted stepdaughter Millicent Mitchell (played by Jaidyn Triplett), a snarky, middling internet creator who views Carly as a rival.The series premiered on June 17, 2021 for a 13-episode first season. The following month, it was renewed for a 10-episode second season. The second season premiered on Paramount+ on April 8, 2022. On July 27, 2022, it was renewed for a 10-episode third season which premiered on June 1, 2023.In October 2023, Paramount+ announced the series's cancellation, ending the series with 3 seasons of 33 episodes and on a huge cliffhanger.

Sure, Let's Go with That: Spencer became a multi-millionaire after he accidentally melted a White House marshmallow sculpture and he let people assume it was some avant-garde political commentary rather than an accident.

Hotter and Sexier: Since the characters and audience are now adults, they get to go beyond kissing, so much as discussing it. Also averted when they also discuss how Freddie has a "penis parasite", that is definitely not hot, or sexy.

Darker and Edgier: Due to being aimed at the kids who grew up with the original show who are now adults themselves (as well as airing on streaming service Paramount+), the revival has much more liberties, as such the characters can use profanity and drink alcohol. The jokes are also noticeably darker; one episode has Spencer accidentally hook Freddie up with a prostitute, and another one has a fortune teller die onscreen from an aneurysm. Both are Played for Laughs.

Candid Camera Prank
 iCarly (2021) / int_1787e703
comment
The plot of "iObject, Lewbert!" deconstructs the Candid Camera Prank and Sketch Comedy that the iCarly webshow used to held. While mostly done for the sake of comedy, the person getting laughed at might not like that they are being embarrassed on the internet and sometimes they might get seriously injured such as Lewbert in "iHurt Lewbert." As such, Carly is very likely to be sued, which is what happened in the episode.

Aborted Arc: The season one finale "iReturn to Webicon" ended with both Beau and Wes professing their love for Carly, seemingly setting up a Love Triangle arc. The season two premiere "iGuess Everyone Just Hates Me Now" reveals that she dumped the both of them and is single again. The season one finale also featured Harper and Dutch getting a relationship upgrade. They break up in the season two premiere due to Dutch's busy schedule getting in the way and Harper is dating other people starting in the next episode.

Sudden Sequel Heel Syndrome: Downplayed with Griffin. While he is indeed a bad boy who stole Spencer's motorcycle when he was younger, he doesn't antagonize Carly and they broke up because Carly made fun of him for liking "Pee-Wee Babies". Now grown up, he is a Con Man who runs a multi-level marketing pyramid scheme who tricks Carly and Freddie to help him sell his product.

Shipper on Deck: Mrs. Benson is 100% on board with Creddie during their Fake Relationship. Once that 'breaks up', she is immediately onboard the "Preddie" ship with Freddie & Pearl, supporting whatever relationship she thinks is or will make Freddie happy. In that same episode, there is also a trio of characters who track the pair down on a fake date to exclaim their support of them. Unfortunately, a few episodes later, she goes the exact opposite and tries to break them up.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 iCarly (2021) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Spencer and Maeve (Harper's cousin) fall in Love at First Sight and Spencer lets her move in with him until she can find her own place. They find out the hard way that these types of relationships don't work out. Things are great at first, but they quickly turn on each other and begin fighting all the time. They both realize that they aren't compatible and moved too fast, so they break up. In "iObject, Lewbert!" Lewbert sues Carly as payback for all the torture he was put through in the "Messin' With Lewbert" sketches. Unable to prove her innocence, Carly makes a last ditch effort to bait Lewbert into revealing his true, nasty self in court. While successful, it doesn't win her the case, since, as the judge points out, she did torture him and there's video proof. Whether Lewbert deserves it or not, it doesn't make Carly innocent. The judge ends up ruling in favor of Lewbert and Carly must pay him $250,000 (less than the $1,000,000 in the initial suit). Fortunately, Spencer foots the bill. The plot of "iObject, Lewbert!" deconstructs the Candid Camera Prank and Sketch Comedy that the iCarly webshow used to held. While mostly done for the sake of comedy, the person getting laughed at might not like that they are being embarrassed on the internet and sometimes they might get seriously injured such as Lewbert in "iHurt Lewbert." As such, Carly is very likely to be sued, which is what happened in the episode. On a more positive note in the same episode as above, even though the judge does rule in Lewbert's favor, she points out that he still legally cannot prevent Carly from making her webshow.

Growing Up Sucks: Carly and Freddie are now in their late twenties and must face new challenges in their lives. For Carly, she has difficulty moving on from her teen years since she no longer has Sam, her old fame as an Internet celebrity and is searching for new love. For Freddie, he has been divorced twice, is raising a stepchild and his startup tech firm failed so miserably that he had to move back in with his mother.

Time Skip: There are a few: The series starts off several years after the original iCarly ended. The first episode, "iStart Over" has Beau break up with Carly. The next scene begins a month later, with Carly still grieving. There is a two month time skip between "iReturn to Webicon" and " iGuess Everyone Just Hates Me Now". There seems to be another month or so time skip between seasons two and three as well.

Jerkass Has a Point: Reconstructed. Lewbert may be insufferable, but he's entirely right in that many of the gang's pranks actually hurt him. Carly thinks she can get off by showing Lewbert's true nature. While the court agrees Lewbert is an awful person, that doesn't make their abuse of him legal, so he still wins the case.

Fake High: In "i'M Wild and Crazy", Carly asks Harper to take her out for a wild night, drugs, alcohol and so forth. Harper gives Carly a drug called "ACD" and Carly spends the night drinking and doing crazy stuff such as kissing a stranger and getting a tattoo. After they get placed in mall jail, Carly takes a breathalyzer test and her blood alcohol level is 0.0. Harper reveals that she ordered non-alcoholic drinks for Carly and the ACD pill was just a multivitamin. As a bonus, the guy she kissed was Harper's dentist, and the tattoo was temporary.

Offscreen Breakup
 iCarly (2021) / int_6fc530a4
comment
Offscreen Breakup: The original series finale implied a Relationship Upgrade between Carly and Freddie since they shared one last smooch before parting ways. Unfortunately, they didn’t pursue a long distance relationship as they both went on to date other people and Freddie move on from his even got married and divorced twice. This series doesn't seem to focus much of their former romance, as they are still trying to move on from their recently failed relationship with their significant other. However, they seem to still have some old yet awkward lingering feelings for one another since Carly nervously reminisces about their previous romantic entanglement, as seen in "iTake a Girls' Trip". The decision Carly is faced with at the conclusion of season one is resolved offscreen, conveyed months later with Beau and Wes having started their own webshow in solidarity for each other over Carly rejecting both of them.

Artistic License – Law
 iCarly (2021) / int_8391b1c7
comment
Artistic License – Law: In "iGuess Everyone Just Hates Me Now" Double Dutch says that phone sex is illegal in Germany. It isn't. "iObject, Lewbert!" contains many examples: The way that Trina obtains Carly's signature on the summons (pretending it's a petition against climate change) is illegal and Carly could have challenged it in court. Lewbert wouldn't have been able to sue Carly in real life due to the statute of limitations for personal injury, which is three years in Washington. Carly's offenses against him happened long before that. There is absolutely no judge in America that would've allowed for the shenanigans that went on in the courtroom during Sline v. Shay, such as Spencer and Carly's bad attitudes, Mrs. Benson and Lewbert openly making out on the stand, Chuck openly pelting cupcakes at Spencer from the stand or Lewbert's mental breakdown. Only Spencer is punished for his actions. Lewbert, in addition to demanding one million dollars in damages, also wants to be awarded the rights to the iCarly web show so that Carly can't produce it anymore. The judge correctly points out that Lewbert cannot legally do that.

One-Hour Work Week: Harper is the only character we see working on a regular basis and she quits her Skybucks job in "iMLM" so that she can pursue fashion full time. Carly's online content probably generates enough ad revenue and sponsorship money that she doesn't have to work a 9-to-5 job. Spencer is now insanely wealthy after his partially melted marshmallow white house sold for a ton of money, though he would later become a restauranteur after purchasing the former Groovy Smoothie and turning it into his own restaurant called Shay What? "iMLM" reveals that Freddie works from home in tech support, only for him to quit that job in order to sell sand. After finding out he was scammed, he realizes that he's an entrepreneur at heart and decides to start a new business.

Continuity Nod: Both within the show itself and to the original. The return of various recurring and minor characters from the series, such as Marissa (aka, Mrs. Benson), Nora, Nevel, Principal Franklin, Griffin, and even Duke (who only ever appeared twice in the first season of the original series, in "iLike Jake" and "iHatch Chicks"). Spencer still holds the Jonas World Record for Most Moving Pieces on a Sculpture and has apparently done so for eight years straight (or 14 years as of the episode's original air datenote November 16, 2007.) While Sam is a no-show here, Carly does reference her being in a biker gang named the Obliterators. Sam still had the motorcycle that was gifted to her by Spencer at the end of the original series in Sam & Cat. All of the Brand X products from the original are still present, such as the aforementioned Skybucks and Pear Products. Millicent is given a fish named Donut by Freddie in "iMLM". She mentions still having it in the following episode. Freddie caught a penis parasite in season one finale, "iReturn to Webicon". It has cleared up in season two premiere "iGuess Everyone Just Hates Me Now".

comment
Spencer and Maeve (Harper's cousin) fall in Love at First Sight and Spencer lets her move in with him until she can find her own place. They find out the hard way that these types of relationships don't work out. Things are great at first, but they quickly turn on each other and begin fighting all the time. They both realize that they aren't compatible and moved too fast, so they break up.

Rearrange the Song: This show retains "Leave it All to Me" as the opening theme, albeit with some slight differences. The version used in the first episode had a different instrumental for the bridge (the one from the studio recording, in fact), while the subsequent episodes just use a shortened version.

Take That!
 iCarly (2021) / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: Downplayed. In the first few episodes, whenever Dan Schneider's name appears in the post-opening credits, a character is making a cringed or disgusted face. The season 1 finale, "iReturn to Webicon", is a parody of the infamous Fyre Festival, another large event that ended up being invoked poorly planned. In "iHit Something", when Carly is letting out various frustrations while hitting a pillow, the final thing she vents about is Bran becoming the king at the end of Game of Thrones. "iMLM" is one big one towards multi-level marketing companies, which are portrayed as glorified pyramid schemes as Freddie gets sucked into one and loses all of his money.

Both Sides Have a Point
 iCarly (2021) / int_c02f148d
comment
Both Sides Have a Point: Carly and Freddie's fight in "iMake New Memories," when Carly's recreation of their date night in Italy turns out to also be a recreation of what Freddie calls "the worst night of [his] life." Freddie reveals to Carly that that night, he had planned to ask her to be his girlfriend, only for her to laugh to a third person at the idea of her and Freddie being together. Carly doesn't like being made the "bad guy" just for not liking Freddie back—a fair point, except that kissing Freddie before she left for Europe very reasonably gave him the idea that she did. Carly's well-intentioned attempt at closure just made Freddie feel that she was stringing him along and Carly feels that Freddie is only friends with her as a "consolation prize".

More Diverse Sequel
 iCarly (2021) / int_d2e75a73
comment
More Diverse Sequel: The original iCarly cast were primarily white and heterosexualnote despite all the Homoerotic Subtext, there were no explicitly LGBT characters due to it being a kids' show from the late 2000s-to-early 2010s. Although black characters Principal Franklin and T-Bo had expanded roles later on in the series, they were never truly main characters. Sam and Gibby's disappearance led to the creation of Harper, a pansexual black woman and Millicent, who's likely mixed race. Many side characters are also people of color and/or fall on the LGBT spectrum.

Ship Tease: Carly and Freddie continue to get a similar amount of ship tease that they got in the original. They even have another slow dance together in one episode. They have what is very near to an Almost Kiss in an early episode of Season 2, and the final episode of the Season ends on a heavy tease cliffhanger.

Don't Tell Mama: Although Nora's not as bad as she used to be, she does stalk Carly and Freddie for a bit upon seeing them for the first time in years. When Nora realizes that she went too far by climbing into Carly's apartment, she begs Carly and Freddie not to tell her parents about her. Which is strange since Nora's parents helped her kidnap Carly, Sam, Freddie, Spencer and Gibby in "iStill Psycho". (Though Nora implies it's because she lied and told her parents that she went somewhere else.)

Mrs. Benson is 100% on board with Creddie during their Fake Relationship. Once that 'breaks up', she is immediately onboard the "Preddie" ship with Freddie & Pearl, supporting whatever relationship she thinks is or will make Freddie happy. In that same episode, there is also a trio of characters who track the pair down on a fake date to exclaim their support of them. Unfortunately, a few episodes later, she goes the exact opposite and tries to break them up.

The Alleged Car: Carly's car "Vin Diesel" is in such bad shape that it would cost as much to fix it as it would to buy another one. Carly doesn't want to give the car up and tries to fix it herself, failing miserably. After swallowing her pride and letting Wes try to fix it, he tells her it can't be fixed and Carly breaks down. The reason why she's so attached to the car is because she and Sam bought it together and had many fun times together, with the car helps her feel connected to her old friend. Fortunately, Spencer keeps part of the remains and uses them to make a new seat for the iCarly studio.
