Nickelodeon Orders "iCarly" and "Victorious" Spin-Off Pilots
Aug 2, 2012
by Kate Stanhope

It's the beginning of the end for "iCarly", but fans might not have to say goodbye to the entire cast come November.

Nickelodeon has ordered two spin-off pilots from the show — one for Sam (Jennette McCurdy) and one for Gibby Gibson (Noah Munck), Entertainment Weekly reports.

The Sam-centered series, entitled "Sam & Cat", would also serve as a spin-off vehicle for "Victorious" character Cat (Ariana Grande).

In the show, sassy Sam and eccentric Cat become roommates and start a babysitting business to find their adventures.

In "Gibby", the title character scores a job at a recreational center where he winds up becoming a mentor to four offbeat middle-school students.

Both pilots are expected to start production this summer.

Almost positive the lead girl wants to move on. Plus six seasons is a solid total.
