Jamie Lynn Spears announces ‘Zoey 101’ reunion: ‘Are you ready?’
The rumors are true.
After two days of posting pictures of purple palm tree silhouettes and a polka dot background to her Instagram, Jamie Lynn Spears has confirmed her fans’ hopes: The hit early 2000s Nickelodeon teen drama series “Zoey 101” is having a reunion.
“We’re back! Are you ready?” Spears captioned a Sunday post confirming a reunion of the show, which ran from 2005 to 2008, and tagging former co-stars Sean Flynn, Erin Sanders, Matthew Underwood and Chris Massey, all of whom also posted the news to their Instagram and Twitter accounts. Victoria Justice and Kristin Herrera, who respectively played Lola Martinez and Dana Cruz on the Malibu-set boarding school series, are notably not tagged.
Spears, 29, also posted a longer clip captioned “Surprise!!! FINALLY! THE LEGACY CONTINUES: the Follow Me (Zoey 101) See It First Experience — 10/25 link in bio for tickets!” The video features throwback footage from the series, Spears asking “Are you ready?” and a supercut of cast members.
A website for the confusingly and long-windedly titled “experience” is selling $20 tickets which include “admission” and a “single digital download,” as well as bundle packs including both the admission ticket and merchandise ranging from autographed CDs to “VIP Zoom” access. The digital event, whatever it is, is set to take place Sunday at 10 a.m. PDT. “Welcome to Campus. Come join us!!!” the site teases.
The oddly worded announcement has left fans assured of a reunion but unclear if there will also be a reboot of the show, which ended after its fourth season when Spears, then 16, got pregnant.
The actors have been teasing a reboot of the dramedy, set at the fictional Pacific Coast Academy, since last year, when much of the cast met up for a reunion dinner in Los Angeles.
Since posting the reveal, Spears has been hyping the “experience” in her Instagram Stories, requesting fans’ help in getting #followmezoey101 trending.
