It seems like only yesterday that Jamie Lynn Spears made her Nickelodeon debut on the coming-of-age comedy sitcom, Zoey 101. The series lasted for four seasons starting in 2005 and probably would’ve lasted longer if certain circumstances hadn’t come into play.

But quite a bit has changed for the cast since we last saw them together — for starters, they're all grown up! Now, the entire PCA gang is back together for the reunion viewers they didn't know they needed. Read on for details on the Zoey 102 reboot! Plus, an update on what the original cast is up to today!

A Parmount Plus reboot of 'Zoey 101' is OTW — here's everything we know about 'Zoey 102' so far!

Paramount Plus released a trailer for the Zoey 101 reboot — Zoey 102 — in mid-June of 2023. The news comes as a surprise to fans of the series, who never really asked for it. However, a good look at the trailer reminds us why we fell in love with the show in the first place.

The network also confirmed that the cast is heading to a small screen near you much sooner than you'd think. In fact, the official release date for Zoey 102 is July 7. Needless to say, the anticipation is real.

Among the stars returning for the reboot are Jamie's on-screen ex-boyfriend Sean Flynn and Erin Sanders, who played Quinn Pensky. Additionally, Jack Salvatore reprises his role as Mark Del Figgaloin.

Teasers confirm that the film picks up nearly 20 years after the series left off, which puts the PCA alums in their 30s. But what is the original cast up to IRL these days? Read on to find out!

Jamie Lynn Spears

There has been a lot of negative press surrounding Jamie Lynn Spears in the last decade or so because of everything that was going on with her older sister, Britney Spears. When Britney's conservatorship came to an end, a lot of her devoted fans had questions. One thing being asked about was whether or not Jamie Lynn was being a supportive sister to Britney through the entire ordeal.

A lot of the drama is actively ongoing which means there aren’t any clear answers just yet. As of now, Jamie Lynn is focused on continuing her role on Netflix's Sweet Magnolias and handling motherhood. She has two kids named Maddie Briann Aldridge and Ivey Joan Watson.

A lot has happened in the life of Alexa Nikolas — who played Nicole Bristow — since Zoey 101 came to an end. Rumors about a feud between her and Jamie Lynn made headlines, but what’s even worse is the allegations she made against her ex-husband. She was married to a man named Mike Milosh from 2012 to 2019, and went on to accuse him of grooming and sexually abusing her. She hasn’t had an onscreen role since 2013, and she’s currently focused on raising her firstborn child with her new husband, Michael Gray.
