Nickelodeon's hit show iCarly made Jennette McCurdy a star, and although the show will air its series finale in November, the 20-year-old doesn't have to worry about what comes next.
The network has tapped McCurdy and actress Ariana Grande to star in a spinoff tentatively titled, Sam & Cat. The series will follow the girls' characters, Sam Puckett from iCarly and Cat Valentine from Victorious, as they become roommates and start a babysitting business.
Sam & Cat will be produced by Dan Schneider, who is behind Nickelodeon shows iCarly, Victorious, Zoey 101 and Drake & Josh.
"I couldn't be under a better person's wing, so I'm really happy about that decision," McCurdy said in a recent interview. "I haven't seen a script - so I'm dying for information."
McCurdy describes taping the series finale of iCarly as emotional.
"The last day of shooting was really sad. There was a lot of crying and there were a lot of hugs going around. None of us wanted to say goodbye really."
Besides acting, McCurdy loves singing. She recorded a self-titled album with Capitol Records Nashville, but is no longer under contract with that label.
"I knew that I was starting this show and I needed to be focused on that," she said.
McCurdy hopes that celebrities will appear on the new show, as they did on iCarly, which included guest spots by U.S. President Barack Obama's wife Michelle, One Direction and Jane Lynch.
