When does iCarly season 2 come out? The reboot has officially been renewed for a second season.

The first season of the iCarly reboot got rave reviews from fans and critics but what can we all expect from iCarly season 2?

There's no denying that the iCarly reboot is a huge success. The revival sees a twenty-something Carly (Miranda Cosgrove), relaunch her iconic web series with the help of Freddie (Nathan Kress), Spencer (Jerry Trainor) and new characters Harper (Laci Mosley) and Millicent (Jaidyn Triplett). Fans have praised the reboot for being funny, adult and LGBTQ+ inclusive.

Taking this into consideration, it's no wonder that fans are desperate for a second season and Paramount+ have answered our prayers and renewed iCarly for season 2. With that in mind, here's everything you need to know about iCarly season 2 including the release date, cast, plot and much much more.

Will there be an iCarly season 2?

Yes. On July 15, Deadline confirmed that iCarly would be returning to Paramount+ for a second season. The outlet reported: "The new iCarly series has ranked among Paramount+’s most-streamed titles since its June 17 debut. Production on the second season will begin in Los Angeles this fall."

Given that iCarly season 1 hasn't even finished yet, the reboot must be really popular.

When is the iCarly season 2 release date?

iCarly will return with season 2 on April 8, 2022. On March 2, 2022, Variety confirmed that iCarly season 2 will premiere with two episodes followed by new weekly releases on Fridays. Variety also revealed that season 2 will be 10 episodes long.

Who is in the iCarly season 2 cast?

The entire main iCarly cast will return in season 2 as well as some fan favourites. In other words, you can expect to see Miranda Cosgrove (Carly), Jerry Trainor) (Spencer), Nathan Kress (Freddie), Harper (Laci Mosley) and Millicent (Jaidyn Triplett) all come back.

The first season has already had multiple iconic cameos from the original series so we reckon there will be more of those too. Paramount have also revealed that Josh Peck, who Miranda Cosgrove previously worked with in Drake & Josh, will appear in season 2 as Carly's new manager Paul.

Will Sam be in iCarly season 2?

In the first episode of the iCarly reboot, Carly explains that she's still best friends with Sam but Sam has joined a biker gang. In other words, there's room for Jennette McCurdy to return if she wants. However, Jennette recently explained that she's quit acting on the Empty Inside podcast.

Jennette McCurdy revealed that she felt embarrassed about her previous work on iCarly and Sam & Cat. "I'm so ashamed of the parts I've done in the past. I resent my career in a lot of ways. I feel so unfulfilled by the roles that I played and felt like it was the most cheesy, embarrassing."

In other words, it's likely that Sam won't ever return.

What will happen in iCarly season 2?

This all depends on how the first season ends but our bet is that there will be much chaos and laughs ahead for Carly and the rest of the characters. The cast have also teased that Carly and Nathan might finally get together.
