Dan Schneider—creator of Victorious and other Nickelodeon series such as iCarly, Drake & Josh, and Zoey 101—took to his blog to clarify news about the show being canceled.

"I've heard some people use the word 'canceled' – which isn't accurate in this case. The term 'canceled' is usually used when a TV show gets poor ratings, causing the network to end the show early. TV shows that aren't doing well get canceled.

Ratings for Victorious have always been high, thanks to the FANS. Also, just last month, Victorious was nominated for three Emmys. And just before that, Victorious won the Kids Choice Award for Favorite TV Show."

He explains that most live-action Nickelodeon shows have a lifespan of about 60 episodes and such was the case with Victorious. He also thanks all the fans who have supported the show and promise that the last season will be amazing.
