Hollywood Arts premieres October 15, 2026, on Netflix. The trailer introduces six students, confirms several Victorious returns and previews an original soundtrack containing 16 new songs.

The trailer sends Trina Vega back to school
Trina enters Hollywood Arts with the confidence fans remember, even though her new job does not appear to come with the qualifications normally expected from a teacher. The joke gives Monet a direct bridge from Victorious into a show centered on a younger class. Trina recognizes the school, but she now has to manage students whose ambitions and rivalries are still taking shape.
The trailer uses her return as more than a cameo. Trina is part of the central setup, moving between classrooms, auditions and backstage spaces while the students prepare performances. That makes Hollywood Arts a continuation inside the same world rather than a remake of the original group’s story.
Who plays the new Hollywood Arts students?
The main student cast is Alyssa Miles, Erika Swayze, Emmy Liu-Wang, Peyton Jackson and Martin Kamm. Netflix’s trailer article presents them as the rising performers joining Trina at the school.
The preview gives the ensemble separate moments in acting, music and dance spaces before bringing them together for larger school performances. It does not publish a full character guide for every student, so names and relationships beyond Netflix’s confirmed material should not be assigned from brief shots alone.
Victorious characters return alongside new guest stars
Yvette Nicole Brown, Eric Lange and Matt Bennett reprise roles connected to the original series. Their appearances reinforce the shared setting without shifting the entire focus away from the new students.
The season also adds Kira Kosarin, Lexi Rivera, Sofie Dossi and Taylen Biggs in guest appearances announced with the trailer. Netflix has not published a complete episode-by-episode guest schedule, so the size of each role remains unconfirmed.
Hollywood Arts has 16 original songs
Music remains part of the school’s identity. Netflix says the season contains 16 original songs and that its soundtrack releases October 15, the same day as the series. The trailer mixes rehearsal footage with finished stage performances, suggesting that the music will develop through the students’ classes and competitions.
The official material does not provide the complete track list, lead vocal assignments or episode placement for every song. Those details should remain open until Netflix or the soundtrack distributor publishes them.
