Carly is Coming Soon to Entertain You

Nickelodeon Brings iCarly

Here’s an upcoming show for you. Carly lives with her older brother and guardian Spencer (Jerry Trainor) and produces her web show from a makeshift studio in the loft upstairs.

Due to Carly and Sam’s hilarious banter and great chemistry, iCarly becomes an internet sensation and a pop phenomenon blooms with the weekly webcasts featuring everything from comedy sketches and talent contests to interviews, recipes and problem-solving.

Nickelodeon, a leading entertainment brand for kids, has greenlit a fifth season of its mega-hit comedy series iCarly.  The new season will roll out in 2012.

Launched in 2007, iCarly, has since become a pop culture staple and regularly tops all basic cable and broadcast TV among both kid and adult viewers, according to Nickelodeon.

It is created and executive produced by television hitmaker Dan Schneider (Victorious, Zoey 101, Drake & Josh).

“Our audience will be psyched to get more of what they love – new episodes of their favorite show, iCarly,” said Marjorie Cohn, president, Original Programming and Development, Nickelodeon. “We are excited to see what Dan Schneider will do next with our favorite characters.”

Nickelodeon’s two-hits-in-one, iCarly (sitcom/website), starring teen sensation Miranda Cosgrove, converges the web and TV screen for kids.

A show within a show, iCarly follows Carly Shay (Miranda Cosgrove) and her best friends, Sam (Jennette McCurdy), Freddie (Nathan Kress) and Gibby (Noah Munck), as they create a webcast for and about kids their age while grappling with everyday tween problems and adventures.
