FAQs
iCarly aired in 2007 and ended in 2012 but got revived for Paramount+ in 2021. Miranda Cosgrove, who played Carly, is still acting and doing voiceover work for movies and shows. Jennette McCurdy, who played Sam, just released the bestselling book I'm Glad My Mom Died.
After wrapping the show, Cosgrove continued her acting career by voicing Margo, the eldest daughter in the Despicable Me franchise. However, the actress also took a break from Hollywood to pursue a different interest: going to college.
The iCarly star was born in Los Angeles on May 14, 1993, to mom Chris and dad Tom Cosgrove. She began acting just a few years later, after being scouted by an agent at age 3.
She rose to prominence for playing Carly Shay on the Nickelodeon sitcom iCarly (2007–2012) and its Paramount+ revival run (2021–2023), the latter of which she executive produced.
In March, Jennette McCurdy, who played Sam, announced that she officially quit acting because she didn't want to do it in the first place and her career made her deeply unhappy. She also said that she's embarrassed by a lot of the roles she's taken and struggled with her mental health as a child actor.
