When Will ‘Hollywood Arts’ Return With More Season 1 Episodes?

Netflix’s new Victorious spinoff, Hollywood Arts, premiered on October 15, introducing viewers to a new cast of next-gen students and bringing back some familiar faces. At the heart of the series is Trina Vega (Daniella Monet), who returns to her high school as a substitute teacher, hoping to find a nepo baby whose parent can kick start her acting career.

During the first half of the season, Trina found love for her teaching gig and won over her students, particularly five teens who mirror the original cast. She also reunited with multiple returning characters, including Eric Lange‘s Sikowitz and Matt Bennett‘s Robbie. Trust us, there is still A LOT of unfinished business with both of those characters. Now, we’re more eager for the second half of the season than ever.

Below, we’re breaking down everything you need to know about Hollywood Arts Season 1, including everything that happened during the first half of the season, and when the second half will debut on Netflix.

When did Hollywood Arts premiere?

If you know all the lyrics to “Trina! A One Woman Show,” a.k.a “She-cago,” you are in luck, because Monet returned as her beloved character Trina Vega (and as an executive producer) in Hollywood Arts on October 15. In October 2025, Netflix announced that Hollywood Arts, which was developed at Nickelodeon, would air on the streamer with a 26-episode first season. Now, the first 12 episodes are available. So where are the other 14?

When will Hollywood Arts return?

As of the October premiere, Netflix has not revealed when Hollywood Arts will return with the rest of the 26-episode season. Since the entire first season has wrapped filming, the second batch of episodes could drop any day now. But we’d expect a winter 2027 release at the earliest.

What has happened on Hollywood Arts so far?

Don’t worry, Victorious fans. Trina has done a lot of growing since we last saw her in 2013, but she’s still the passionate, yet seemingly untalented, diva we know and love. During the premiere, Trina immediately clicks with Emmy (Alyssa Miles), a.k.a. Techie, who lives in the shadow of her heartthrob brother, Oscar (Martin Kamm). After convincing Emmy to take a shot at the same competition where Tori stepped into the spotlight for the first time. Turns out, she knows how to “Make it Shine,” too!

Throughout the season, Trina grows closer to her students and reunites with Robbie, who had a major crush on her in high school. While Trina originally remembered him as her sister’s “weird little friend,” he sings her a song that gets her to see him in a new light. However, as soon as Robbie learns that his feelings are reciprocated, he reveals that he’s taken a job in New Zealand. We’re gonna need him to come back ASAP!

Who stars in Hollywood Arts?

Along with Monet, Hollywood Arts introduces a cast of rising stars. This list includes Miles (Hanging out with Alyssa and Xavier), Kamm (Unsung Hero), Emmy Liu-Wang (Raven’s Home), Peyton Jackson (Woman in the Yard), and Erika Swayze (School Spirits). The series also sees the return of Yvette Nicole Brown (Community) as Helen Dubois, a Nickelodeon crossover character who debuted on Drake & Josh, but later became the principal of Hollywood Arts in Season 2 of Victorious.

Ahead of the season, Netflix revealed that additional cast members included Lange, who returns as Sikowitz; Matt Bennett, who returns as Robbie Shapiro; Kira Kosarin (The Thundermans); YouTuber Lexi Rivera; model Taylen Biggs; and Sofie Dossi (America’s Got Talent).

Monet said, “Coming back as Trina alongside such a dynamic, powerful cast of newcomers is something I feel very lucky and grateful to do. Victorious was in a lot of ways life-changing for all of us; our cast is forever bonded by that experience, and to think that I have an opportunity to steward anything close to that is a feeling I can’t begin to describe. As an actress, producer, and mom, I am so eager to create something we can all be proud to share with the world.”
