    All good things must come to an end and unfortunately, that's the reality for Paramount+'s popular reboot, iCarly.

    Earlier today, Laci Mosley — who stars as Harper Bettencourt on iCarly, announced on Twitter that the series had been canceled. She made this statement before any official press releases confirmed the news.

    Laci plays Carly Shay's (Miranda Cosgrove) roommate and best friend on the show. She was heartbroken to break the news to her fans.

    It all started when a fan account expressed their concern about Paramount+ not announcing that they've renewed iCarly for a fourth season.

    And that's when Laci revealed the reboot had been canceled.

    The iCarly sequel debuted on Paramount+ in 2021 introducing fans, both old and new, to an adult version of Carly as she navigates her career, friendships, romantic relationships, and family life.

    It ran for three seasons, with the final one wrapping up this July on a cliffhanger with the reveal of Carly and Spener's mother.

    I’m not going to lie and say I’m over Paramount+ because I still have shows on there, but they made a big mistake canceling iCarly. The least they could do is give the fans a farewell season rather than leave it on a cliffhanger

    Writers for the show also shared their appreciation for working with such "hilarious and kind people."

    It was truly such an incredible experience working on this show. Thank you all so much for your support and enthusiasm. I’m gonna miss saying “Oh the fans are gonna lose their minds!” almost as much as I will miss working with such hilarious and kind people. 💜💜💜

    Once the news was confirmed by the network, Paramount+ issued a statement: "iCarly will not be returning for a fourth season on Paramount+,” a spokesperson for the streamer said in a statement.

    “The series had a great three-season run and delivered on what fans really wanted to see with Carly and Freddie finally getting together. We want to thank the entire cast, the writers, directors and producers along with the whole crew for their dedication, creativity and talent.”
