Jerry Trainor

What do you get for the girl who has everything in Thailand? That's right. I was going to send some kind of fruit basket, but I realized it probably wouldn't survive the boat ride.

Nathan Kress

Yeah. It wasn't going to get there.

Jerry Trainor

No. No.

Miranda Cosgrove

I'm excited. There's a there's a lot in store for the fans. So I'm excited for you guys to see this.

Nathan Kress

Yeah, I I there's one word to describe this season. It would be dense. There's a lot there's just a lot going on. That's the word for the season. That's the one. I'm sticking with that.

Jerry Trainor

We're dense. Thick. You know, thick. What's it mean?

Nathan Kress

I don't think I can say it like that though because I season three. One word? Mediocre. What the heck, man? No, dense, like imagine all the content that was in those 10 episodes.

Jerry Trainor

That's why you're not marketing. That word. All right. He's how we it's awesome. Season three is the best season yet. The most stuff happens with an amazing cliffhanger. You got to watch it. That's the bottom line.

Nathan Kress

Literally if you put all that stuff together, it'd be the word dense. That's all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. So much going on.

Jerry Trainor

Yes. Anything else? Please. It's awesome.

Young Hollywood

And speaking of the fans you mentioned the beginning of the answer before the dense situation, um they're freaking out about creddie. Obviously, everyone is. All the comments are like, oh my god my whole childhood I've been waiting for this. So when you guys read the script, how did you personally each feel about it?

Miranda Cosgrove

I feel like the last three seasons there has been a little mention of it here and there, but I feel like in season three, there's really a deep dive into the topic. So there's a lot in store for you guys.

Nathan Kress

Nathan Kress

Miranda Cosgrove

With James? Yeah. Super fun. It's so nice to anytime we're able to get anybody back from the old show is so great and just getting to have so much fun with what the heck happened to their characters 10 years later.

Nathan Kress

Yeah. That poor guy. We put him through the ringer in this episode. He he goes through a lot. I can't spoil it, but he has a very complex uh arc for just one episode.

Young Hollywood

And do you have any favorite moment from season three for each of you?

Miranda Cosgrove

I think my favorite moment is I can't spoil exactly what happens, but I kind of become Freddy's therapist.

Nathan Kress

Miranda Cosgrove

In a certain way.

Nathan Kress

Miranda Cosgrove

For a certain thing.

All the time. Yeah. Constantly.

Nathan Kress

No. That would never No, it would be the other way around.

Miranda Cosgrove

Yeah, probably.

Jerry Trainor

Yeah. Um I get to do a lot of physical bits with food that I have. I'll put it this way one time I went to change out of my clothes and I found a grape in my shirt. Uh so there's yeah, so I get to do some fun physical things that I didn't get to do in any of the other seasons.

Nathan Kress

Yeah. Harper normally stays dry. Not this one.

Jerry Trainor

Yeah. Uh I'd say the cliffhanger. There's the the way that this season ends is pretty nuts. It's crazy. Um yeah, so people are going to need to stick around to the end and uh I'm very excited to see what on earth we do with a fourth season. I'm excited to see the reaction.

Miranda Cosgrove

Yeah. I think everyone will stick around till the end too. I mean, yeah. Fingers crossed. We'll see.

Laci Mosley

Um I definitely I think one of my favorite parts definitely was the cliffhanger because I was I was definitely intrigued as well. Um also like I I like to bake and I have a passion for baking and in one of the episodes, I think it's the first episode. My cake is actually featured in the episode. It's on a cake stand in um one of the apartments and that was like a really proud moment for me. I was really proud.
