Victorious fans were sad to hear the news that the show would be coming to an unexpected end, and so were the stars of the show. Here’s what they had to say:

Ariana Grande: “Devastated and heartbroken at the news that Victorious won’t be renewed, but thankful for this experience and the friendships I’ve made. Also, I’ve been seeing lots of tweets about the Sam & Cat show. Victorious not being renewed has NOTHING to do with Sam & Cat. I was planning on going back next year to shoot both shows. I was so excited!”

Avan Jogia: “Thank you guys for all your support over the years, it’s been a great run. 3 Emmy noms and a KCA…modestly #GoingOutOnTop.”

Leon Thomas: “Hey I see you guys, but we still have a lot of episodes for you to watch and I have some really exciting news to share. So stay tuned!”

Liz Gillies wrote a long letter. Here’s part of what she said, but you can read the rest of it HERE:

“For those of you who are just hearing the news, please don’t be upset. All good things must come to an end, and Victorious is no exception. Don’t be afraid that we’re all going to drop off the face of the earth, because we’re not. It might be the end of an era, but it’s the start of many new chapters for all of us.”

Victoria Justice: “3 Emmy nominations is not a bad send off…#GoingOutOnTop #LoveUGuys. :{)”

She also said “It’s sad because I’ve been with Nickelodeon since I was 12 years old and I became a family with my Victorious cast. We spent a lot of time together and bonded for sure – I’ll look back on the experience very fondly. It’s a little shocking and a little bittersweet, but at the end of the day it might not be such a bad thing. We all want to do our own thing and continue to grow.”
