at .

It's been less than two months since the revival of iCarly was confirmed, and the project is moving full steam ahead at Paramount+.

Miranda Cosgrove took to social media earlier this week to show a picture of her and co-stars Jerry Trainor and Nathan Kress on the set of the revival, which is set to launch nine years after the original series ended.

The photo shows the cast on the set, confirming that, yes, the revival is definitely happening. Far too often, shows get announced and then sit in development hell for eons as behind-the-scenes things are sorted.

While Paramount+ has not confirmed a premiere date, it's highly likely to be in the second half of 2021.

The relaunched CBS All Access will want to get this on the air as quickly as possible to help drive up the subscriptions.

Jay Kogen (School of Rock, The Simpsons, Frasier) and Ali Schouten (Diary of a Future President, Champions, Merry Happy Whatever) are on board to develop the highly-anticipated project.

The original series, which ran from 2007-12, focused on Carly and her best friend Sam act funny at a school talent show audition, tech-savvy Freddie records it and posts it online without informing them.

The online audience quickly wanted more of the pair, and the iCarly webcast became a thing.

The teens then found their normal adolescent lives thrown in for a loop when they discovered that they had become online sensations as their show became a roaring success.

Carly lived in Seattle with her adult brother and guardian Spencer and produced the show in a makeshift third-floor studio loft in their apartment.

While original stars Miranda Cosgrove, Jerry Trainor, and Nathan Kress are all set to return for the new project, it's unclear whether anyone else will be back from the original run.

However, it's likely the new show will have a string of guest stars peppered throughout its run, so it's highly likely to have even more familiar faces.

Paramount+ was confirmed by ViacomCBS last year. Described as a house of brands, it will bring together all of the different networks under the conglomerate.
