‘Victorious’ Trina Vega Spinoff ‘Hollywood Arts’ Starring Daniella Monet In Works At Nickelodeon – Deadline
By Nellie Andreeva Co-Editor-in-Chief, TV
EXCLUSIVE: The Victorious universe is eying further expansion with a second spinoff series, Hollywood Arts (working title). Starring Daniella Monet, who will reprise her role as Trina Vega, the multi-camera comedy is in fast-track development at Nickelodeon, with early casting getting underway, sources tell Deadline.
Produced by Nickelodeon, Hollywood Arts follows Trina returning to her old stomping grounds as the newest teacher at Hollywood’s most elite performing arts school.
Monet serves as an executive producer alongside writers/executive producers Jake Farrow — who was a writer-producer on both Victorious and offshoot Sam & Cat and also voiced Robbie’s puppet Rex Powers on Victorious — and Samantha Martin (Nick’s Henry Danger and The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder).
Victorious creator Dan Schneider, who parted ways with Nickelodeon in 2018, has no involvement in the spinoff. His Nick tenure has been under scrutiny, including in the docuseries Quiet On Set whose producers he is suing for defamation.

It is too early to tell whether other original cast members, notably newly minted Oscar nominee Ariana Grande, would appear on Hollywood Arts. It is a possibility and would certainly make sense for Victoria Justice, whose title character on the mothership series is Trina’s younger sister.
Launched in 2010, Victorious revolved around aspiring singer Tori Vega (Justice) who attends Hollywood Arts High School alongside her older sister Trina, a senior there, as well as Andre Harris (Leon Thomas III), Robbie Shapiro (Matt Bennett), Jade West (Elizabeth Gillies), Cat Valentine (Grande) and Beck Oliver (Avan Jogia). The comedy ran for four seasons, earning two Emmy nominations for Outstanding Children’s Program.
This would be the second Victorious spinoff series following the Victorious/iCary mashup Sam & Cat, which starred Victorious’ Grande as Cat and iCarly‘s Jennette McCurdy as Sam. Nickelodeon also recently revived iCarly, which ran on Paramount+ for three seasons.
In addition to starring on all four seasons of Victorious from 2010-2013, actress and singer Monet had a key recurring role on Freeform’s Baby Daddy, among other credits. She most recently wrapped production on Jessa Zarubica’s upcoming feature Six Feet Apart. She is repped by CESD Talent Agency and 3 Arts.Get our Breaking News Alerts and Keep your inbox happy.Signup for Breaking News Alerts & Newsletters
