Carly and her best friend Samantha "Sam" Puckett turn a boring school assignment into a fun, creative and hilarious web-show. When their friend Freddie accidentally leaks a video of their antics on the web, Carly, and average 13-year-old girl, becomes an unlikely online celebrity.

Embracing her popularity, Carly convinces Sam, her co-host and comedic sidekick, and Freddie, their technical producer, to turn "iCarly" into a weekly show...where they can finally do and say whatever they want! The show-within-a-show stars tween sensation Miranda Cosgrove as Carly Shay, a cool teen who clicks with kids everywhere via her own homegrown web show...and it incorporates the original videos that kids upload on iCarly.com into the scripted comedy.

iCarly is a convergent entertainment experience that unites the TV screen and the web for kids. Throughout the show, Carly will encourage viewers to post their own originally created content relating to the context of each show. This content may become part of a future iCarly episode, or included in Carly's online webcast, making iCarly the first scripted show on all of TV to incorporate original kid-created content.
