Netflix announces Hollywood Arts spinoff; Daniella Monet returns as an unqualified substitute.
Trina Vega’s Return to Hollywood Arts
Who would have thought Trina Vega would be back in the classroom—but she is, and this time she’s not just a former alum, but an unqualified substitute teacher.
Netflix has officially announced its new Victorious spinoff, Hollywood Arts, and Daniella Monet will be reprising her role.
The show will debut on Netflix in 2026, then air on Nickelodeon and Paramount+, and filming is starting this month in Vancouver.
A New Setting and Cast That Will Grab Attention
The logline reveals that Trina, now a struggling actress and mom, returns to her old school, Hollywood Arts, and immediately clashes with the new generation of talent—some clashes will be comedic, others will be inspiring.
The new students include Alyssa Miles as Emmy, Emmy Liu-Wang as Pepper, Peyton Jackson as Qwest, Erika Swayze as Jen Z, and Martin Kamm as Oscar, with Yvette Nicole Brown appearing as a guest star.
Daniella Monet is not only starring but also serving as an executive producer—meaning she’ll have her own heart and vision for Trina’s story.
Old Memories and New Hopes
Victorious premiered in 2010 and ended in 2013—and fans have been waiting ever since.
This is the same universe that launched the careers of Victoria Justice, Ariana Grande, and others, and Trina’s solo return will bring that same nostalgic touch, but with fresh, new storylines.
Monet herself has said that this experience has been life-changing and that she now has the opportunity to steward it—meaning she wants to create something meaningful, not just a rehash.
What to Expect and Why to Watch
The show’s tone will likely be a mix of humor, emotion, and performance-driven drama—from Trina’s quirky mishaps to the serious aspirations of the students.
If you’re a fan of the original Victorious, you’ll get the nostalgia along with new stories about ethics, reputation, and creative dreams.
Hollywood Arts won’t just be a school, but a micro-stage where fame, talent, and mistakes will collide in the same classroom.
Victorious is still streaming on Netflix, so it would be a good idea to review the original series first and then catch Trina’s new journey.
