Nine years after the show ended its run on Nickelodeon, iCarly is back! The reboot premiered on Paramount+, featuring many original stars, including Miranda Cosgrove, Jerry Trainor and Nathan Kress.
But Carly’s sidekick, Sam, is not part of this revival. And the show’s premiere addresses her absence. Warning: spoilers ahead.
