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 spin-off series Sam & Cat , would not be involved in the series. [2]

Casting is underway, with former Victorious cast members possibly reprising their roles. [2] In March 2025, Victoria Justice, who starred as Tori Vega, mentioned the possibility of her making a cameo appearance. [3] In the same month, Avan Jogia, who starred as Beck Oliver, expressed openness to reprising his role. [4] In April 2025, Elizabeth Gillies, who starred as Jade West, also expressed openness to reprising her role. [5] In the same month, Matt Bennett, who starred as Robbie Shapiro, teased a possible return. [6] In July 2025, Leon Thomas III, who starred as André Harris, expressed interest in reprising his role in a guest appearance. [7]

On October 24, 2025, Hollywood Arts had been moved to Netflix, which had also ordered 26 episodes. The series will premiere on the global streamer in 2026 before a second-window release on Nickelodeon and sibling Paramount+ (likely day and date). The sale to Netflix is believed to be a recent development after the August completion of the Skydance-Paramount merger, which resulted in the departure of longtime Nickelodeon chief Brian Robbins among other top executive exits, [8] alongside a change of producer of the upcoming television spin-off series as Paramount Skydance's revived television division Paramount Television Studios (which encompasses the slates of Skydance Television and Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios) would now be producing the spin-off series Hollywood Arts alongside Nickelodeon which originally developed the spin-off series. [9]

Casting

In February 2025, Daniella Monet was cast in the series. [2] In October 2025, Alyssa Miles, Emmy Liu-Wang, Peyton Jackson, Erika Swayze and Martin Kamm joined the main cast, with Yvette Nicole Brown set to guest star. [10]

Filming

Hollywood Arts held its first table read on October 14, 2025. [10] Principal photography began filming on October 22, 2025, in Burnaby, British Columbia; [11] it was originally set to begin two days earlier in Los Angeles, California. [1] [12] Production is scheduled to wrap on March 13, 2026. [11]
