"Despite success in the ratings, Nickelodeon confirmed Sam &amp;amp;amp; Cat&amp;#039;s cancelation over the weekend, cutting its first season short by four episodes also. In a textbook statement to The Hollywood Reporter, a spokesperson for the show says the network wishes the cast &amp;quot;all the best&amp;quot; as they move on to new projects. On a &amp;quot;production hiatus&amp;quot; since early April, Sam &amp;amp;amp; Cat, starring Jennette McCurdy and Ariana Grande, had also been hit with all sorts of drama in recent months \u2014 nude photo leaks, generic bitchery, and rumors of behind-the-scenes drama; a feud between stars Jennette and Ariana (and Nickelodeon too) specifically. Jennette blamed &amp;quot;unfair&amp;quot; behavior on the network&amp;#039;s part for her skipping this year&amp;#039;s Kids Choice Awards; Ariana later clarified, via Twitter, that she wasn&amp;#039;t being paid more/receiving preferential treatment. In a long message shared, also via Twitter, following the news breaking, Ariana thanked Nickelodeon for &amp;quot;making a childhood dream of mine come true, for being a family to me, for being so accommodating and supportive of my multitasking with my music career, and for of course introducing me to many of my fans.&amp;quot; Mentioning Sam &amp;amp;amp; Cat&amp;#039;s cast and crew en masse \u2014 she &amp;quot;[couldn&amp;#039;t] imagine that there is a more pleasant or professional crew in Hollywood&amp;quot; \u2014 Ariana also gave two personalized shout-outs to the show&amp;#039;s creator, Dan Schneider, whom she described as &amp;quot;a true friend.&amp;quot;  Jennette, however, did not receive a mention.
