In a statement to TVLine, a Paramount+ spokesperson confirmed that there are no plans for a fourth season of the Miranda Cosgrove-led show. "The series had a great three-season run and delivered on what fans really wanted to see with Carly and Freddie finally getting together," the spokesperson said, before thanking the creatives behind the series. Yes, fans have waited years to see Carly and Freddie finally start dating, but it is disappointing that something as monumental as Carly's mother being alive won't be resolved. "'ICarly' reboot ending with Carly seeing her mom and us not being able to see her and to see their relationship is sinister," shared X user @invinciblemj_. "I NEED TO SEE THE DEADBEAT MOTHER," expressed Reddit user u/midget_cathy on the r/iCarly fan subreddit.
Fans aren't the only ones upset by the "iCarly" cancelation. Harper actor Laci Mosley took to X to thank the creative team for creating the show and fans for watching the project's three seasons. "Heartbroken," she said in a response to a fan. The writers behind the revival are also disappointed with the cancellation, with the writers' room's communal X account writing, "I'm gonna miss saying 'Oh the fans are gonna lose their minds!' almost as much as I will miss working with such hilarious and kind people."
Still, some fans are hopeful that Paramount+ will do the right thing and wrap up the series with respect. "if y'all were ending 'icarly,' paramount could've released a one hour special with carly's mom being revealed and creddie's wedding, just to tie loose ends," suggested X user @livviechens.
