This season features Carly Shay (Miranda Cosgrove), Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy), Freddie Benson (Nathan Kress) and Gibby Gibson (Noah Munck) as their web show, iCarly, is becoming more popular worldwide, with Sam and Freddie now as a confirmed couple, until the episode, "iLove You".
ICarly - Season 5
Jerry Trainor co-stars as Carly's older brother Spencer, and Noah Munck co-stars as Gibby. This season had the specials "iLost My Mind", "iDate Sam & Freddie", "iBloop 2: Electric Bloopaloo", "iStill Psycho, and "iMeet the First Lady".
After the first few episodes of this season, T-Bo moves into Freddie and Mrs. Benson's apartment in Bushwell Plaza after being evicted from The Groovy Smoothie. Sam and Freddie help him do this by disguising him as a respectful gentleman. This initially works, but Mrs. Benson later evicts him upon discovering his true personality, though she later has a change of heart and decides to let him stay after he rescues the gang from an obsessed fan.
In late January 2011, while doing press for her North American Dancing Crazy concert tour, Miranda Cosgrove began telling news sources that she was looking forward to returning to Hollywood to begin filming a 5th season of iCarly.[1][2][3] On January 27, 2011, Cosgrove told Cleveland Live News "We're getting ready to start the next season, right after the tour. I would be willing to do the show as long as people like it and as long as it works."[1] On January 28, 2011, Reuters news agency also reported that Cosgrove was preparing to begin filming a 5th season of iCarly,[2] and on February 3, 2011 Cosgrove told The Middletown Press, when speaking of the show and her co-stars Jennette McCurdy and Nathan Kress, "I've known them since I was little. I can't wait to get back. I'm really comfortable doing iCarly. It's like my home away from home."[3] Cosgrove concluded her Dancing Crazy concert tour on February 24, 2011, and Jennette McCurdy finished her Generation Love mall tour on April 14, 2011.[4] The entire cast did not even get together until the 2011 Kids' Choice Awards. Miranda Cosgrove recently confirmed that filming would resume shortly.[5] At the 2011 Kids' Choice Awards, Jerry Trainor stated that filming would resume in May.[6]
Nickelodeon has a hit on their hands in iCarly and they have no intention of letting it go. Starring Miranda Cosgrove, the TV series attracted 7.4 million viewers last Saturday. That made it the most-watched cable program of the week and the most-watched kids cable show so far this year. Nickelodeon has just renewed iCarly for a fifth season of 13 episodes.
Despite the big success of the show, one has to wonder if season five will be the end. The previous seasons have all been made up of 20-26 episodes each. Nickelodeon has only ordered 13 installments for season five.
It's hard to find a modern-day teenage or high school TV show that is portrayed by a full cast of actual teenage actors. But \"iCarly\" cast real teens battling puberty and first crushes, making Carly, Freddie, and Sam extremely relatable to legions of young fans. It was like watching a show about your way cooler friends who had access to their very own computer and a sweet attic. Although \"iCarly\" ended in 2012 (with Miranda Cosgrove's iconic finale dress), it's impossible to forget the show's original cast. \nBut while fans may have loved the magic the costars made on screen, Jennette McCurdy revealed in her new memoir, \"I'm Glad My Mom Died,\" that being famous at a young age was anything but a dream. In the book, released Aug. 9, McCurdy explained she never wanted to be an actor or star and often feels trapped by her legacy as Sam. She also explained that the trauma from doing the show was a major reason she didn't return for the 2021 \"iCarly\" reboot. However, McCurdy did reveal in the book that she and Cosgrove were genuinely very close during filming the original series.\nRead on to remember where every member of the \"iCarly\" cast was when the show made its Nickelodeon debut in 2007.\n","id":48392328,"type":"gallery","photo_source":"Image Source: Getty \/ Paul Morigi \/ Stringer","permalink":"https:\/\/www.popsugar.com\/celebrity\/how-old-was-icarly-cast-when-show-was-filmed-48392328","canonical":"https:\/\/www.popsugar.com\/celebrity\/how-old-was-icarly-cast-when-show-was-filmed-48392328","share_text":"Here's How Old the \"iCarly\" Cast Were When the Show Originally Aired","use_tall_image":false,"omit_from_countdown":false,"caption_num":false,"slide_tags":"Celebrity NewsNostalgiaNickelodeonICarly","is_cover":true},"image":"https:\/\/media1.popsugar-assets.com\/files\/thumbor\/o4nOn1jT01-fOuw9ASBmcHV4oEs\/fit-in\/1024x1024\/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-\/2021\/06\/24\/073\/n\/46902964\/ce4bea5798a775f6_GettyImages-83894226\/i\/How-Old-Was-Jerry-Trainor-on-iCarly.jpg","share_image":"https:\/\/media1.popsugar-assets.com\/files\/thumbor\/9mC3l4K2dOkJyIIChbbucWW04HY\/fit-in\/2048xorig\/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-\/2021\/06\/24\/073\/n\/46902964\/ce4bea5798a775f6_GettyImages-83894226\/i\/How-Old-Was-Jerry-Trainor-on-iCarly.jpg","title":"How Old Was Jerry Trainor on \"iCarly\"?","intro_text":false,"body":"\"Drake & Josh\" superfans may know Jerry Trainor as Crazy Steve, but to us, he's Carly Shay's beloved older brother, Spencer.
