Victorious Star Elizabeth Gillies Is Game for Reunion or Reboot With Same Cast and Creators
Despite the fact that Nickelodeon's Victorious ended all the way back in 2013, fans are still trying to fill the show-sized hole in their hearts, and one of its stars, Elizabeth Gillies, feels much the same way. However, that doesn't mean she's eager to see the show, which also starred Victoria Justice and a little-known singer/actor named Ariana Grande, be rebooted for a new generation.
Liz, who currently stars as Fallon Carrington on the CW's Dynasty, stopped by the Zach Sang Show to talk about a potential Victorious reboot or reunion. She wasn't entirely optimistic about the whole thing, but seems open to the idea should the opportunity arise.
"Well, it’s like one of those things where if they used the same kind of sets, and they got the same people to do it, then I’d like it,” she explained. “If they’re getting all new people to do it, and they’re just using that name, and they’re kind of just completely re-branding it, okay. If it’s good, it’s good. That’s all I’m going to say. If it’s done poorly, then I’ll say, ‘I told you so,” and if it’s done well then I’ll be like, ‘Wow, hats off!’”
Liz was also asked about revisiting the show with the rest of the cast for "closure," since the show ended rather abruptly seven years ago. “That’s something that I always said I would clear my schedule for," Liz said. "No matter how much work I’m doing, or how inconvenient it would be to get it together, that’s something I feel like is really important, and we all believe that." Like…perhaps…a movie? It doesn't sound out of the realm of possibility, considering our current reboot-happy culture.
“I think that would be amazing. I want to do it, I really want to do it. We all want to do it,” Liz shared. “I can’t see why anyone would say no. Everyone’s down [for a movie], and if they’re not, they suck. If you’re the one person in the cast who’s like, ‘I don’t want to do the thing,’ f–k you.”
That doesn't mean there's drama within the former cast members, though. "Everyone wants to do it," Liz said. "We’re all buddies. We want to do this. The fans deserve this. I don’t know when it’s going to happen, we’re so old. We'll take it whenever though, even if we’re all in wheelchairs,” Liz laughed. “And they should, it was so unresolved. It’s so big now…[it's the] 10-year anniversary, it’s time.”
We know that some of the Victorious cast remains close; Ariana recently went as far as to hold an onstage reunion with Liz and Matt Bennett last November, and Liz appeared in Ari's "thank u, next" video. So while a Victorious reunion or reboot may just be a dream at this point in time, truly anything is possible, and we love knowing that the cast is down to reprise their roles.
