Miranda Cosgrove gave iCarly fans renewed hope with the possibility of a movie adaptation, after Season 3 of the 2021 revival of the Nickelodeon comedy series ended with a cliffhanger.
While in New York to promote her latest film Despicable Me 4, which is out in cinemas now, she told Variety at the premiere event:
"I'm pretty sure it's gonna happen. So, I'm excited, and I love to get to wrap up the story."
The Despicable Me actress further stated to Extra TV that she hopes the movie will happen "hopefully soon."
For the unversed, Cosgrove reprised the titular role, Carly, in Nickelodeon's iCarly sitcom that aired from 2007 to 2012 in the Paramount+ revival, where she was also an executive producer.

While the iCarly revival ran for three seasons, Season 4 was canceled. The Season 3 finale, titled iHave a Proposal, featured the wedding of the century between Mrs. Benson and Lewbert, but Carly and Freddie have a misunderstanding, leading them to consider their future together.
In the final scene, viewers are left with two major cliffhangers— Freddie and Carly almost getting married and the mysterious appearance of Carly's mom, who was barely mentioned in the revival.
