Jennette McCurdy has made her mark in the Netflix world. No longer known only for her roles on iCarly and Sam & Cat, she’s gone way beyond Nickelodeon now.

Between is the story of a small town in which everyone over the age of 21 loses their life to a mysterious illness. Those 21 and under work to figure out a peaceful means of living–and surviving.
The drama debuted simultaneously on Netflix and City–the Canadian TV network that developed the one-hour drama.
Netflix has just announced that they’ve ordered a second season of the dystopian drama. Jennette McCurdy is thrilled.
“I’m thrilled to be continuing on with a second season of Between,” she said in a statement. “Working with Netflix, City, and the entire cast and crew has been such an enjoyable experience and I can’t wait for more.”

When Jennette McCurdy first landed the lead in Between, some wondered how playing a role like this one might be perceived by her Nickelodeon fans.
“I feel Believe is really perfect,” she said. ‘A lot of the kids that watched iCarly and Sam & Cat are getting older. This fits the bill. Already my more intense fans are very excited and eagerly awaiting the series.”
Have you checked out any episodes of the first season of Between? If so, you’re no doubt thrilled that Netflix has ordered a second season.
