In the lead up to the release of Wicked: For Good, Ariana Grande’s Victorioushas unexpectedly climbed the global streaming charts. While there are many stars who made their debut in the hit Nickelodeon show, Ariana Grande is easily the most notable member of Victorious’ cast.
Despite Victorious ending over 12 years ago, it stands as one of the most notable teen comedies of the last few decades. Victorious marks the beginning of Ariana Grande’s acting career, and since then, she has gone on to star in many exciting projects, including the upcoming Wicked: For Good.
Some audiences are still frustrated that Victorious lacked a proper ending, with Grande going on to star as Cat Valentine again opposite Jennette McCurdy in Sam & Cat. However, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t revisit Victorious (or check it out for the first time), which is currently trending on streaming services.
Victorious Is Trending On Streaming
Victorious follows Tori Vega, (Victoria Justice) a wannabe singer who attends Hollywood Arts High School, and the wild and wacky students who she meets and befriends along the way. While Cat Valentine isn’t the main character, she’s a notable character in the show, and Ariana Grande’s experiences working on Victorious are the reason why she has such a successful acting career.
Victorious has suddenly started climbing the streaming charts in several countries across the world, and on multiple streaming services. Victorious is doing particularly well on Paramount+ right now and is in the top 10 TV titles in 16 countries, including Mexico and Costa Rica.
The show is also seeing more viewers on Netflix, ranking as high as number 2 in the top 10 TV shows of the week in Italy and Norway. It’s an impressive feat, considering that the most-watched titles on streaming each week are typically new additions, whether that’s because it’s a brand-new release or it’s recently been added to a service.
Our Take On Victorious’ New Surge Of Popularity On Streaming
It seems more than likely that this new surge of viewership is a result of the upcoming release of Wicked: For Good. While there are several Ariana Grande titles audiences could watch as they wait for the movie to hit theaters, it makes sense that it’s Victorious, which proves she has brilliant comedic timing and the ability to portray a character who differs from herself.
However, there’s a chance that this could be related to the news of Jennette McCurdy’s adaptation of her book, I’m Glad My Mom Died, in which she discusses her time working with Grande on Sam & Cat. While Sam & Cat hasn’t jumped the streaming charts massively this week, it has been in the top 10 on Netflix in Norway and the UK.
Regardless of the reason why, it’s great to see Victorious make a comeback, at least in terms of popularity. It’s unlikely we’ll see a reboot or revival of Victorious, but for those who are looking for a feel-good, comical watch while awaiting Ariana Grande’s next release, the iconic Nickelodeon sitcom is a great filler.
