It’s almost time to be reunited with some Pacific Coast Academy alumni in the upcoming Paramount+ original movie Zoey 102. While Jamie Lynn Spears will obviously be returning alongside faces both old and new, not everyone will be coming back from the O.G. series. At a recent cocktail party for the film, Spears even referenced missing Zoey 101 cast members in a post, despite some controversy surrounding her and former co-star Alexa Nikolas. Though one cast member that did go to the cocktail party was Victoria Justice, and now she’s opening up about why she wasn’t in the movie and if Lola Martinez will ever make a return.
The Zoey 101 sequel movie was first announced in January along with its returning cast. One of the more notable absences from the cast list was Victoria Justice, who portrayed aspiring actress Lola Martinez beginning in the second season. Justice previously took part in the mini Zoey 101 reunion in 2019 with co-stars Paul Butcher, Erin Sanders, Chris Massey, Sean Flynn, and Matthew Underwood, as documented on Massey’s Instagram, but she was nowhere in sight for Zoey 102. At least she has a good reason.
