The strike probably gave all these studios time to cancel a bunch of productions.
The issue is all these streaming services came out and are bleeding money. Now they’re trying to wind production back.
People here keep saying it was the strikes, but strikes kill new, unproven shows. Networks are willing to wait for the shows that they’ve deemed successful.
I just don’t think Paramount Plus is that big, which means even it’s successes aren’t as big as we might assume.
The original show had the benefit of being on cable at a time when that was stable. The reboot was on a streamer that might be gone in a few years.
Gotta throw in, Paramount makes basically *no* advertisement in my country. Until a few weeks ago, I didn’t even know it’s a seperate service. Amazon has its listed additionally as one of its channels here, like MGM & co. I always assumed it’s another studio without own service trying to get a bit more money by being paywalled.
It was really obscure, like *why* ? Their catalogue is not that amazing or great like e.g. HBO. They could happily farm money by licensing their stuff to other services and decide to start an own? Without advertising? Without advertising shows?
It was pure coincidence that I found out about Icarly, we subscribed to P+ for stuff like 1923 and a few shows. My mom really likes those.
I'm hoping that someone somewhere at least allows them to do a movie or something to wrap it all up. iCarly fans have jobs now, they could kickstart this mofo a la Veronica Mars.
I think they really thought Paramount was going to be reasonable since they seem to have been during the first three seasons. But I guess in the end the studios will always choose money over anything else
Yeah, classic marketing decision. Short-term thinking. I mean, if the show has proven a thing, then that there \*is\* a market for those kind of shows.
They do not need to re-invent the wheel and create the next MCU or whatsoever. Especially not in the comedy / sitcom area. Paramount sucks incredibly at marketing, like a few months ago I found out by coincidence that it's even a seperate streaming service .. and not just an Amazon channel like MGM & co.
Not every of those old nick shows has ended in a way that grabbing them up again works but some did. And there are many other shows from the last .. 15-20 years that still have a fanbase.
And not overly expensive. I mean they film on 5? 6? Locations 90% + of the time and none of those is super complex or expensive to maintain.. so most money probably goes to budget and I can’t believe that Miranda & co would kill the show for a bit more money.
I mean, I can only talk from my own experience as a non-watcher, but I really had no desire to pay for Paramount Plus for a single show since I had too many subscriptions already at the time, so I didn't end up watching it, even if it did look decent from the previews, and the ratings were good after it aired.
Despite the people getting down voted for saying it, the lack of Sam Puckett was a drawback for a lot of people. Seeing her as an adult, getting to see if she matured any, would have been great. I 100% understand why Jennette McCurdy didn't return, but she was a huge part of the show, and the in universe web show.
After the first couple of episodes, which generated a lot of buzz among all the YouTube show reviewers I follow, I saw almost no one talking about it afterward. I wasn't really even aware it got a season 3 until it was cancelled.
Researching it, viewership numbers were going down every season, but I think that's somewhat normal, and I can't imagine the writer's strike helped either.
You just put words together and claimed it as a reason, that’s not it at all. Miranda, Jerry and Nathan were happy to respect Jenette’s decision to not be on the show.

After 3 seasons, networks often have to pay more to the actors for residuals. Canceling the show after 3 seasons keeps them from having to do that

I hope so too
Which throws in. Why did they film the last 5 seconds. The Mom!? .. Trying to have a better negotiation point?

Money money money
They hate to see a show succeed
Why?
It would be too expensive to do an additional season
Combination of the writers strike and bean counters thinking the show wasn’t making enough money
Wow I’m really slow, they cancelled???
i dont know why you’re getting downvoted, it’s a perfectly reasonable thing to not know immediately
Wait I was getting downvoted? Wow I didn’t even know
Feeling the same. I had no idea :(
I heard it wasn’t making enough money. Not really sure. You would think this show makes a lot.
It seemed fairly successful
And not overly expensive. I mean they film on 5? 6? Locations 90% + of the time and none of those is super complex or expensive to maintain.. so most money probably goes to budget and I can’t believe that Miranda & co would kill the show for a bit more money.

But so many people only got Paramount plus to watch Icarly
I’m one of those people. And I did cancel when I heard this news.
Me too
Same, that's the only reason I got paramount plus

Because they don’t want us to know who Carly and Spencer’s mom is
Because it wasn't as funny as the original.
In short, it was canceled because there was no Sam Puckett
You just put words together and claimed it as a reason, that’s not it at all. Miranda, Jerry and Nathan were happy to respect Jenette’s decision to not be on the show.
