iCarly fans are flipping out about Carly cursing in the new iCarly reboot series that has premiered on Paramount+. The new iCarly is, to be fair, aimed at an older crowd – namely fans of the original series (2007-2012) – who are now anywhere from their upper teens to post-college age. In other words, the kids who grew up on iCarly are now more than just a little familiar with the adult language that’s in the new revival series.
Taking that all into consideration, there’s been a mixed range of reactions from fans of iCarly who are jumping into the new series. Some appreciate that the show has grown up alongside its fans – others are having a hard time adjusting.

If the makers ofย iCarlyย (2021) were betting on adult tone being appealing to the original fanbase – they were right. A lot of fans are loving it.ย

This is exactly the kind of viewer the makers ofย iCarlyย were trying to reach. Mission accomplished.ย
You Call That Cursing?
People freaking out over cursing in the new iCarly trailer, and I was like “What??! Where?!!”, until I found out it was just Spencer saying “dammit”.

Like bruh, I thought Carly went like “You bitchass hoe” or some shit lmaooooo
This fan’s reaction came when theย iCarlyย trailer dropped, but it echoes what a lot of fans have been saying: this isn’tย cursingย cursing.ย

You have to wonder if this fan got what she wanted as she got deeper into the series…
If Sam Were Here…
Itโs too bad that Jennette McCurdy quit acting because I just know that the writers wouldโve had Sam cursing up and storm throughout this seriesโฆ ๐ญ๐ญ #iCarly

Sam is one majorย iCarlyย character that returned for the new series, unfortunately. Hearing her getting to be a little more foul-mouthed would’ve been glorious.ย
They’re Having Fun With It

Theย iCarlyย cast is clearly having fun with the more adult tone of the show – if this video is any indication.ย
