Nickelodeon's Victorious was a defining show for a generation of kids who grew up between 2010 and 2013 at Hollywood Arts High. More than a decade later, the cast has scattered across pop music, film, Broadway, and viral TikTok stardom. Here's a full where are they now guide to every main cast member — and what they're doing today.

Victoria Justice — Tori Vega

As the show's lead, Victoria Justice went on to star in TV movies like Eye Candy, Trust, and the Netflix hit A Perfect Pairing. She's still actively releasing music and recently returned to the spotlight after publicly addressing long-running fan rumors about her time on the show.

Ariana Grande — Cat Valentine

The breakout star of Victorious is now one of the biggest pop stars on the planet. After spinning Cat Valentine into the spin-off Sam & Cat, Ariana exploded with albums like Thank U, Next and Positions, then crossed into film as Glinda in the blockbuster Wicked movies. Her early Nickelodeon clips still rack up millions of views — see some of the most viral ones on our viral shorts feed.
