Many people are familiar with the Nickelodeon show "iCarly." This show aired back in the late 2000's, and attracted the attention of many fans; young and old. When fans hear the name of the show or a name of one of the cast members, they're often swarmed with a feeling of nostalgia. Now news of a reboot has filled fans with excitement, but something is fishy. There's no mention of Sam Puckett in any news. What's happening? 

Read below to find out more. 

"iCarly" is an American sitcom, which first aired on September 8, 2007, and was created by Dan Schneider. The show stars actors, Miranda Cosgrove as Carly Shay, Jennette McCurdy as Sam Puckett, Nathan Kress as Freddie Benson, Jerry Trainor as Spencer Shay, who was also Carly's brother. The show is about how Carly and her bestfriends Sam and Freddie, created a webshow, which became very famous, that they struggled with balancing school life with their new-found fame. The last episode of the show titled "iGoodbye," aired on November 23, 2012 and fans were sad to see the show come to an end.

The show ended with Carly moving out with her father to Italy, and Sam riding away on her motorcycle. This amazing climax gave birth to "Sam and Cat."

Sam was the only one from "iCarly" who got her spin-off, with Cat (Ariana Grande) from "Victorious." The show was also very popular, but it seems being a child actor isn't as easy as fans thought, as Jennette McCurdy went through a lot with Nickelodeon.

"Sam and Cat" was later cancelled, allegedly due to salary issues between McCurdy and Nickelodeon, and Grande was reportedly getting paid more than McCurdy.

After many years, a reboot will finally happen, but fans are still worried that Puckett's photo was missing from the recent photo lineup.

Per Paramount+, the reboot will air sometime in 2021, but the mere fact that McCurdy might not be a part of the reboot has disappointed fans.

What can fans expect from this reboot? 

McCurdy revealed that she had an eating disorder while filming "iCarly." She said she disliked the time she spent on both "iCarly," and "Sam and Cat."

Turns out her stardom as a child was not good for her, she also disclosed that she wasn't pleased by the fact that kids saw her as a role model.

She lost her mom to cancer, but had to stay strong due to her contract. She hasn't made any comments on the show's reboot yet, as she's busy with her podcast titled "Empty Inside."
