Development
On February 6, 2025, it was announced that a sequel and spinoff to Victorious was in development with a working title of Hollywood Arts. Daniella Monet would be reprising her role as Trina Vega, and also serves as an executive producer, alongside Jake Farrow, who worked on the original series, and Samantha Martin. Dan Schneider, who was the creator of Victorious and its first spin-off series Sam & Cat , would not be involved in the series. [1]
Casting is underway, with former Victorious cast members possibly reprising their roles.

On October 24, 2025, Hollywood Arts moved to Netflix, which ordered 26 episodes, announcing that the series will premiere on the global streamer in 2026 before a second-window release on Nickelodeon and sibling Paramount+ (likely day and date).
