In 2011, Kress continued to appear in the role of Freddie Benson on the fourth season of "iCarly", and in January 2011, Miranda Cosgrove began telling news sources that she was looking forward to returning to Hollywood to begin filming the fifth season of the main character of the Nickelodeon show. On January 27, 2011 Cosgrove told Cleveland Live News "We're getting ready to start the next season, right after the (Dancing Crazy) tour. I would be willing to do the show as long as people like it and as long as it works." On January 29, 2011, Reuters also reported that Cosgrove was preparing to begin filming season 5, and on February 3, 2011 Cosgrove told The Middletown Press, when speaking of the show and her co-stars, Kress and Jennette McCurdy: "I've known them since I was little. I can't wait to get back. I'm really comfortable doing ["iCarly"]. It's like my home away from home." The show was later renewed for a sixth and final season, with the series finale "iGoodbye" airing on November 23, 2012. Kress would eventually reprise the role of Freddie Benson in one episode of the show's spin-off series "Sam & Cat" which aired in January 2014.
