Nickelodeon is set to announce today during its upfront in New York that it is fusing two of its biggest live-action hits, iCarly and Victorious, for the original TV movie iParty with Victorious, which is set to premiere June 10 and kick off a summer of more than 100 new episodes of the network's live-action series. The new shows set to debut in that stretch are Supah Ninja and Bucket & Skinner's Epic Adventures. The network also has greenlighted a pair of CG-animated series, Robot & Monster and a reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as part of a push to add 450 new episodes of animated programming over the next three years.

Elsewhere in the Nick universe, nighttime block Nick at Nite will add Friends to its lineup in September and the comedy Yes, Dearin 2012. Meanwhile, the TeenNick will add a nighttime block, The 90s Are All That!, which will feature shows from Nick's library including Rugrats and Kenan & Kel and run from midnight-2 AM ET beginning in the fall (the network cites the popularity of its "Old Nickelodeon" Facebook page as fuel for the move).
