EXCLUSIVE: One of the most anticipated new series on Paramount+, iCarly, is undergoing a behind-the-scenes leadership change.

Jay Kogen has stepped down as executive producer and co-showrunner on the new iteration of the 2007 Nickelodeon comedy. Fellow executive producer/co-showrunner Ali Schouten remains on board; it is unclear whether the series will bring in a new co-showrunner.

According to sources, comedy veteran Kogen and iCarly star Miranda Cosgrove did not click creatively, and those creative differences ultimately led to his departure.

iCarly is described by Paramount+ as a new chapter for the most successful kids’ sitcom of all time, where original cast members Miranda Cosgrove, Nathan Kress and Jerry Trainor join new friends for a look at these characters’ present-day lives, adventures and comedic mishaps.

The original iCarly series, produced by Nickelodeon, ran from 2007-2012. Starring Cosgrove, Trainor, Kress and Jennette McCurdy, it followed a group of best friends creating a webcast while grappling with everyday problems and adventures. During its original run, iCarly became a pop-culture staple and regularly broke viewership records among audiences of all ages. Nickelodeon also is producing the revival for ViacomCBS’ streaming services Paramount+, which officially launches March 4.

Kogen previously worked with Nickelodeon on the comedy series School of Rock and created/executive produced the Nick at Nite series Wendell and Vinnie. He recently served as a consulting producer on another YA sitcom revival for a new streaming platform, Peacock’s Punky Brewster. His credits also include The Simpsons and Frasier.

I already kind of don’t like the direction the show is heading in. I don’t care for the new best friend character and without Sam...what’s the point. I always did wonder if Carly would ever come back and hopefully they answer the question about their mother. I’ll probably check it out

This reboot’s gonna be a train wreck, isn’t it? They need to learn to leave well enough alone.

I was never a huge fan of iCarly. But if it’s going to be weird immature kid jokes being acted out by people in their late 20s...then pass.

Why the fµck are they reviving this show?
Probably bc she can't get jobs anywhere else and hollyweord is out of ideas and will reboot a reboot if a spin off of a remake that is an adaptation of a book that started as a fable and folk tale based off true life events.

I feel like this reboot is going to be Lizzie McGuire 2.0 and get cancelled while in production, nobody asked for an ICarly reboot, and nobody is going to watch it if Sam isn’t in it.

His ass is quiting already? Has the show even started airing yet? Cause if not, then you know the revival will be a trainwreck like another font said.
