Netflix has today given a series order to the original comedy series Hollywood Arts, a spinoff of Nickelodeon's Victorious. Production on the 26-episode first season has begun in Vancouver, Canada.
In the new series, struggling actress Trina Vega returns to her former high school, Hollywood Arts, as an unqualified substitute teacher, quickly finding herself both clashing with and unexpectedly inspiring a new generation of ambitious and talented students as they learn to find their true path at Hollywood's most elite performing arts school.
Daniella Monet will star in and executive produce the series. She is currently the only actor from the original series set to appear in the spinoff.
The comedy will also star Alyssa Miles, Emmy Liu-Wang, Peyton Jackson, Erika Swayze and Martin Kamm. Furthermore, Yvette Nicole Brown will appear as a guest star.
Jake Farrow and Samantha Martin created the comedy. They will also executive produce with director Jonathan Judge. Paramount Television Studios will produce.
Victorious debuted on Nickelodeon in March 2010. It produced 57 episodes across four seasons. It ended in February 2013. All episodes are currently available to stream on Netflix. Moreover, spinoff Hollywood Arts will have a second viewing window on Nickelodeon and Paramount+ after making their debut on Netflix in 2026.
"Coming back as Trina alongside such a dynamic, powerful cast of newcomers is something I feel very lucky and grateful to do," said Monet. "Victorious was in a lot of ways life changing for all of us, our cast is forever bonded by that experience, and to think that I have an opportunity to steward anything close to that is a feeling I can't begin to describe. As an actress, producer, and mom, I am so eager to create something we can all be proud to share with the world."
