Over the past few weeks, Netflix has been steadily teasing our return to Hollywood Arts, with the most recent drop being a teaser in mid-August. Today, Netflix has just dropped the first official trailer, key art, and a slew of exciting details for Hollywood Arts, the highly anticipated spin-off to the beloved Nickelodeon sitcom Victorious.
Set to premiere globally on October 15, 2026, the new series promises a blend of nostalgia and fresh talent.
Here is an update to everything we know so far about Hollywood Arts, including a breakdown of the premise, the returning fan-favorites, and the brand-new guest cast that brings millions of followers to the iconic high school.
What is Hollywood Arts about?
If you’ve been wondering what happened to Trina Vega, you’re in luck. Daniella Monet reprises her role as the delightfully untalented yet overly confident sister of Tori Vega.
According to Netflix’s official logline:
“In this all-new series, struggling actress Trina Vega (Daniella Monet) returns to her former high school, Hollywood Arts, as an unqualified substitute teacher, quickly finding herself both clashing with and unexpectedly inspiring a new generation of ambitious and talented students as they learn to find their true path at Hollywood’s most elite performing arts school.”
Netflix has finally lifted the curtain, giving us our first look at the new class—and a sneak peek at Trina’s chaotic teaching methods.
