Nickelodeon alum Victoria Justice might be making an appearance on the upcoming Victorious spinoff starring Daniella Monet. The reboot will follow Daniella’s character from the original series, Trina Vega, as she returns to Hollywood Arts as a teacher. After the announcement from Nickelodeon, Victoria, who played the titular role of Tori Vega in Victorious, has hinted at a possible reunion between the onscreen sisters.
While speaking to PEOPLE, the Zoey 101 star implied that Tori could make her way back to Hollywood arts for an episode. “Never say never,” added Victoria. She also took the opportunity to congratulate Daniella and expressed how happy she was for her. In the former Nickelodeon star’s exact words: “She deserves all the success.” As reported by the outlet, early casting is still underway for the upcoming spinoff titled Hollywood Arts.
In addition to taking on the lead role, Danielle will also serve as an executive producer alongside Jake Farrow and Samantha Martin. Victorious creator Dan Schneider, who bid farewell to Nickelodeon in 2018, is not involved in the project, according to Deadline. After the release of the 2024 docuseries Quiet On Set, the television producer’s tenure at the network is under scrutiny for allegations of fostering an inappropriate work environment.

While talking about the future of her career, the actress shared that she has been busy taking on the recurring role of rising star Dylan Pryor on the legal drama Suits LA.
