Kailey Schwerman/Paramount+/Netf Thirteen years after Nickelodeon’s “Victorious” did its final curtain call, Netflix is returning to the Los Angeles-based performing arts school with a brand-new spinoff, “Hollywood Arts.” Created by Jake Farrow and Samantha Martin, the series follows Trina Vega (Daniella Monet reprising her role) as a struggling actress stuck in the shadow of her superstar sister, Tori (Victoria Justice). With zero acting gigs on the horizon and weary of taking handouts from Tori, Trina returns to Hollywood Arts for a substitute teaching position. Though she is in no way qualified for the job, Trina realizes she can inspire a new class of performers using her eccentric lessons and ideas. Hokey, over-the-top and full of garbled dialogue, “Hollywood Arts” is a near-carbon copy of its predecessor. Still, if Gen Alpha has similar tastes to Gen Z, the show will win over a new generation of kids while offering a Lisa Frank-esque idea of what high school could be.
