After airing 33 episodes , Nickelodeon released a promo stating two episodes remained to air . On July 13 , 2014 , after a three-month production hiatus , Nickelodeon canceled the series , having produced only 36 episodes of the 40 episode order . Media outlets attributed the cancellation to a salary dispute between McCurdy and Nickelodeon , an alleged feud between McCurdy and Grande , the leak of racy photographs of McCurdy , the rising musical career of Grande , and both actresses ' desires to move on to other projects . The last episode aired on July 17 , 2014 , as a lead-in to the first Kids ' Choice Sports ceremony
