Daniella Monet is set to play a struggling actress returning to her former high school as a substitute teacher in Hollywood Arts, a spinoff of the hit live-action Victorious series.
The new live-action series will debut on Netflix next year. From Paramount Television Studios, the spinoff will be executive produced by Monet, who will star in Hollywood Arts with added cast members Alyssa Miles, Emmy Liu-Wang, Peyton Jackson, Erika Swayze and Martin Kamm. Yvette Nicole Brown (Community) will guest star.
Production on the new series has started in Vancouver.
A logline reads: “In this all-new series, struggling actress Trina Vega (Daniella Monet) returns to her former high school, Hollywood Arts, as an unqualified substitute teacher, quickly finding herself both clashing with and unexpectedly inspiring a new generation of ambitious and talented students as they learn to find their true path at Hollywood’s most elite performing arts school.”
After a bow on Netflix, Hollywood Arts will get additional play on Nickelodeon and Paramount+.
“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, and to think that I have an opportunity to steward anything close to that is a feeling I can’t begin to describe. As an actress, producer, and mom, I am so eager to create something we can all be proud to share with the world,” Monet said in a statement.
Victorious premiered on Nickelodeon in March 2010 ahead of a four-season run to 2013. The scripted half-hour series followed teenager Tori Vega navigating her way through the performing arts high school Hollywood Arts, alongside her older sister Trina and other students.
Victorious currently streams on Netflix in the U.S. and since early 2024 has earned over 45 million views on the streaming platform.
The Hollywood Arts pilot episode will be directed by Jonathan Judge and was penned by Jake Farrow and Samantha Martin.
Farrow, Martin, Judge will executive produce the series alongside Monet.
