‘Victorious’ TV Show Has Been Cancelled!
Victorious Show Cancelled
Truly a sad day for a lot of us Nick Fans. After 3 seasons, the hit show Victorious has been cancelled, meaning it will not be renewed for a 4th Season next year(sometimes you have clarify).
This shouldn’t come as a big surprise because the star of the show, Victoria Justice is going to be 20 years old in less 7 months, why is this important? Nickelodeon usually shuts down a show if the main actor or actress is no longer a teen and this is the case for Victoria Justice.
iCarly is also getting cancelled after a few successful seasons on Nick TV but rumors are a new show featuring Ariana Grande and Jennette McCurdy titled, Sam & Cat will debut in the next few months to replace any of the cancelled shows.
Will you be watching the spin-offs or are you still going to be sad/angry that they cancelled Victorious and iCarly? Let us know in the comments!
