Netflix is returning to the classroom — but this time, the curriculum has changed. The streamer has officially been greenlit Hollywood art, a 26-episode spinoff of Nickelodeon’s cult favorite series Victoriouswith Daniella Monet returning as Trina Vega. Premiering in 2026 before being released on Nickelodeon and Paramount+, the revival marks a major moment of nostalgia meets reinvention for a generation raised on musical mayhem and high school theater.
Production for Season 1 is already underway in Vancouver, reviving the once fictional performing arts school for a new audience. Monet, who played the hilariously confident Trina from 2010 to 2013, now steps behind and in front of the camera as both lead actor and executive producer. In this new chapter, Trina returns to her alma mater—not as a student, but as an unqualified substitute teacher whose chaotic confidence somehow rekindles the spirit of a new crop of ambitious young artists.
“Coming back as Trina alongside such a dynamic, powerful cast of newcomers is something I feel very fortunate and grateful to do,” Monet said reflecting on her return. “Victorious was in many ways life-changing for all of us. Our cast are forever bound by that experience, and to think that I have an opportunity to manage anything close to that is a feeling I can’t begin to describe.”
The show’s premise feels distinctly meta — an artist who never quite “made it” is now teaching the next generation what it means to try. The reboot’s tone aims to balance humor and heart, while subtly acknowledging the pressures of creativity in a world more competitive (and connected) than ever.
The fresh ensemble cast – including Alyssa Miles, Emmy Liu-Wang, Peyton Jackson, Erika Swayze and Martin Kamm – adds a new layer of energy to the mix, while Community alum Yvette Nicole Brown reprises her role as Principal Helen, promising the same witty authority that defined her Nickelodeon days. Behind the scenes, Victorious Alumnus Jake Farrow teams up with Samantha Martin as showrunners and writers, with Jonathan Judge directing the pilot. The series comes from Paramount Television Studios, overseen by Nickelodeon’s Shauna Phelan and Brian Banks.
Fixed Hollywood art carries the DNA of its Nickelodeon predecessor, it differs in both scale and scope – a streaming-era production infused with grown-up polish. Its soundtrack is also expected to play an important role in shaping the tone of the show.
While details are under wraps, early talks suggest a modern pop-rock and alt-R&B mix — a nod to the original show’s legacy of catchy musical performances. Given Victoriousinfluence on the 2010s teen pop landscape, fans are watching closely to see if Hollywood art can catch lightning twice – this time with a sound that speaks to the TikTok generation.
With Victorious with over 45 million Netflix views since the start of 2024, the timing couldn’t be better. For many, Hollywood art isn’t just a revival—it’s a chance to revisit the dream of artistic ambition that once defined an era of teen television.
While you wait, all episodes of Victorious Seasons 1-3 are streaming on Netflix.
