I hope so.

Long time coming.

Like, I think, you know, the show left us kind of open for something fresh and new and exciting.

And I'm so grateful for the audience that like we're such big supporters of Victorious to allow us to do something like this.

Because if there isn't a fandom, like nowadays you can't sell anything.

So we're lucky that we had that so that we can like make a show that we think they'll love.

And it feels really pretty amazing.

Like when I said, you know, I felt like at some point I was like an observer of the Victorious cast.

Like I was just happy to be there and I couldn't believe that I got to be a part of it.

Yeah.

I still feel that way.

So the fact that like I'm now in this spinoff and like,

in a way like on my own, um, outside of that original cast is wild to me, but, um, I don't think I would have done it if I didn't have their support.

That was like number one for me.

Did you have all those conversations before going into the meetings?

Yeah.

It was a wild experience because there was talk of it for, you know, how things are.

It's like, it's an idea for a while and then it becomes sort of closer to being a real thing.

And then it's,

stops and then you're like yeah it's not happening and then one day it like light bulb was like yep we're gonna announce that it's gonna happen and I was like no no no no wait hold on I got to talk to everyone like this can't be like announced without me having a conversation with everyone I couldn't imagine them finding this out and not in the news from me and so they were like okay literally they said we'll give you 24 hours but we're gonna announce that this is gonna get greenlit and I went oh
