“Victorious” has another spinoff in the works, with Daniella Monet set to reprise her role as Trina Vega in a multi-cam Nickelodeon comedy with the working title “Hollywood Arts,” Variety has confirmed.
The series, which is in development and has not yet been greenlit, will follow Trina as she returns to her old stomping grounds to teach students at the fictional Los Angeles performing arts high school. It would mark the second spinoff of “Victorious,” following “Sam & Cat,” starring Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande.
Casting is underway for the spinoff, and it’s unclear whether any other “Victorious” stars — including Victoria Justice — will reprise their roles in “Hollywood Arts.”
Monet, who starred in all four seasons of “Victorious” as the older sister to Justice’s Tori Vega, will executive produce the spinoff alongside Jake Farrow (who was a writer-producer on “Victorious” and “Sam & Cat”) and Samantha Martin.
Dan Schneider, the disgraced creator of “Victorious” who parted ways with Nickelodeon in 2018 and was accused of misconduct in the ID docuseries “Quiet on Set,” has no involvement in the “Hollywood Arts” spinoff.
“Victorious” ran on Nickelodeon from 2010 to 2013 and centered on Tori Vega (Justice), an aspiring singer attending an elite L.A. performing arts school alongside her sister Trina (Monet). The series also starred Grande, Leon Thomas III, Matt Bennett, Elizabeth Gillies and Avan Jogia. It earned two Emmy nominations for outstanding children’s program.
Monet’s other acting credits include “Nancy Drew,” “Follow Your Heart” and “Baby Daddy.” She is represented by CESD Talent Agency and 3 Arts.
