From crazy love triangles to moments that made us go "woah" fans are definitely still staying positive that it would return. With rumors swirling about a possible revival, things are certainly becoming more real of a possibility of more iCarly episodes. So is the iconic Nickelodeon series coming back? And what familiar faces will we see return?

Here's everything you need to know about the iCarly revival.

How will the revival be different?

It's been a few years since we've seen our favorite characters back together, which means some things will definitely be different. One huge thing includes the kind of relationships we might see in the series and trust us when we say that this show is definitely not a kids show anymore.

"We're going to toe that line, you know what I mean? It's not going to be super-raw," he explained. "But yeah, there's going to be sexual situations. And you know, I say 'damn it' in the trailer, which had everyone in a tizzy, but you know we're grown-ups."

So get ready y'all, cause this is a different kind of iCarly.

Is there a trailer for the for the revival?

Yes! We finally have a trailer ahead of the show's upcoming premiere. In the clip, we get to see the end of the show in 2012 as well as the new beginning in 2021. While some things have definitely changed, others are exactly the same. It looks like the iCarly web show will still include all the random pranks and hijacks we remember and love, and of course, Freddie and Spencer are there for the ride.

In addition, it looks like Carly will be navigating the modern landscape of being an internet personality, while both Carly and Freddie try to get back on the dating scene. In all, it seems like a mashup of both the old and the new, with a whole lot of laughs in between.

When will the iCarly revival premiere?

It's official, the iCarly reboot will premiere on Paramount+ on June 17th. Miranda Cosgrove and the rest of the cast revealed the news in honor of Miranda's birthday.

All 13 episodes of the series will air on the platform, picking up 10 years after the original show ended and will follow "Carly Shay, the original influencer, and her friends navigating work, love and family in their twenties," according to the press release.

Are there any new characters joining the iCarly revival?

Paramount+'s Twitter account announced that two new characters will be joining. The first, Harper, played by Laci Mosley, is "Carly’s roommate and best friend."

"I watched iCarly growing up and never imagined I’d get a chance to be in the show! We’ve started production and everyone is SO wonderful and kind!! I love doing this work so much already," Laci wrote on her Instagram. "So wake up members of my nation eowwww!"

Meanwhile, Jaidyn Triplett is joining as Millicent, "Freddie’s snarky and social media-savvy stepdaughter."

That's right, stepdaughter! While this means that Carly and Freddie likely won't be together, guess we'll have to wait and see what happens when the show finally premieres.

What is the iCarly revival going to be about?

Fans have been waiting for some hints as to what to expect in the brand new series and they finally let us know in a brand new tweet that had everyone freaking out.

"Wake up the members of the nation! Filming has begun on a new show based on @Nickelodeon's #iCarly, coming to Paramount+ this summer! The 13-episode season follows Carly Shay and her friends as they navigate work, love and family in their twenties," Paramount+ announced on their Twitter.

Are any of the original iCarly cast members coming back?

According to Variety, Miranda Cosgrove, Jerry Trainor and Nathan Kress are all set to return as Carly Shay, Spencer Shay, and Freddie Gibbs. The OG cast members got together for the ultimate picture on one of their first days on set in front of a sign that says "iCarly Set 1".

You might have noticed that Jennette McCurdy, who played Sam Puckett, is missing from that group. The actress just revealed that she will not be returning for the reboot, as she was "ashamed" of her role on the show.

"I resent my career in a lot of ways," she said on an episode of her podcast, Empty Inside. "I feel so unfulfilled by the roles that I played and felt like it was the most cheesy, embarrassing," Jennette explained that she starred on iCarly from the age of 13 to 21 and by the time she was 15, she was already embarrassed by it. "My friends at 15, they're not like, 'Oh, cool, you're on this Nickelodeon show.' It was embarrassing."

Now, Jennette has quit acting in order to pursue writing and directing. She did say that she would maybe return to the craft if she "really admired" the director of a project, but it doesn't seem like that's the case for iCarly.

There's no word on how the show is going to explain Sam's absence.
