Daniella Monet is set to star in an exciting new role as she reprises her character in the upcoming series titled Hollywood Arts, a spinoff of the beloved live-action show Victorious. This new live-action series is scheduled to debut on Netflix next year, bringing back the nostalgia for fans of the original series.
Produced by Paramount Television Studios, Hollywood Arts will see Monet playing a struggling actress named Trina Vega, who returns to her former high school as an unqualified substitute teacher. The show's premise involves Trina clashing with and unexpectedly inspiring a new generation of talented and ambitious students at Hollywood's elite performing arts school. This storyline promises a mix of humor and heartfelt moments as the characters navigate their paths in the world of performing arts.
Alongside Daniella Monet, the cast of Hollywood Arts includes rising talents such as Alyssa Miles, Emmy Liu-Wang, Peyton Jackson, Erika Swayze, and Martin Kamm. Additionally, the series will feature a guest appearance by Yvette Nicole Brown, known for her role in Community. Production for the new series has officially commenced in Vancouver, generating excitement among fans and industry insiders alike.
In a heartfelt statement, Daniella Monet expressed her gratitude for returning to the role of Trina Vega, stating, “Coming back as Trina alongside such a dynamic, powerful cast of newcomers is something I feel very lucky and grateful to do. Victorious was in a lot of ways life-changing for all of us; our cast is forever bonded by that experience. The opportunity to create something we can all be proud to share with the world is a feeling I can’t begin to describe.”
Victorious originally premiered on Nickelodeon in March 2010 and enjoyed a successful four-season run until 2013. The series followed teenager Tori Vega as she navigated the challenges of attending the prestigious Hollywood Arts school, along with her older sister Trina and other memorable characters. The show's legacy continues to thrive, as it currently streams on Netflix in the U.S., amassing over 45 million views since early 2024.
The pilot episode of Hollywood Arts will be directed by Jonathan Judge, with the script crafted by writers Jake Farrow and Samantha Martin. Farrow, Martin, and Judge will also serve as executive producers for the series, alongside Daniella Monet, ensuring a collaborative effort to bring this new chapter of the Victorious universe to life.
As the excitement builds for Hollywood Arts, fans can look forward to a blend of nostalgia and fresh storytelling that honors the spirit of its predecessor while introducing new characters and experiences.
