Nickelodeon’sVictoriousmay have only aired for four seasons from 2010 to 2013, but it still left a lasting impact. The hit show followed the hilarious endeavors of talented teens as they navigated life, love and their dreams while attending the performing arts high school Hollywood Arts.

The cast of relative unknowns has given way to some of the biggest stars in the entertainment business, includingAriana Grande,Victoria Justiceand Elizabeth Gillies. Many of the main cast members have remained close friends over the years, sharing photos from their reunions for aholiday pajama partyin 2015, Grande’s birthday in 2016 and virtually forthe show’s 10-year anniversaryin 2020.

Every time the cast gets together, fans speculate about the possibility of a reboot — something several of the actors have teased in the past. In 2017, Gillies told PEOPLE she would be “so down” for resurrecting the show after Grande posted that it “needs a proper finale.”

“I’m ready to do one tomorrow,” Gillies added. “I think everybody’s down. … We got even extended cast members to agree to it.”

The show’s lead, Justice, got fans excited fora potential rebootas recently as 2021. “I’m not saying that therehaven’tbeen discussions, but I’m just saying, who knows?” she toldEntertainment Tonight. “I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up: There’s nothing in the works, but I don’t know. We all love each other, and it was such a fun time. So who knows?”

Here’s where the cast ofVictoriousare now and what they’ve been doing since the show ended.
