HOW MIRANDA COSGROVE IS REUNITING WITH ONE OF HER MOST FAMOUS CO-STARS
By BRANDON BOMBAY
Not long after "iCarly" ended in 2012, fans hoped that Miranda Cosgrove would get the gang back together, and she is now starring in a sequel series to the Nickelodeon classic. Jeannette McCurdy (Sam Puckett) was notably absent from the new "iCarly," but Cosgrove has reunited with another one of her famous co-stars.
Fans of "iCarly" and "Drake & Josh" were happy to see Miranda Cosgrove reunited with Josh Peck, as he was cast as Carly Shay's manager, Paul, in the reboot of "iCarly." Peck debuted in an episode titled "iBuild A Team," in which Carly traps Paul and Freddie (Nathan Kress) in an escape room.
Cosgrove debuted on "Drake & Josh" before landing her own series, and she still has a close friendship with Peck, telling Insider, "He's one of the nicest people I know". She had looked up to Peck since she was little, calling him a "staple in my life," and she's also friends with Peck's wife, Paige O'Brien.
Returning to the series also had a nostalgic impact on Peck. "Being on the 'iCarly' set after all these years feels very full circle and I love getting to work with Miranda, Nathan [Kress] and Jerry [Trainor] again," he told People in December 2021.
