 Earlier this month (8/13/2008),
Nickelodeon announced a new (overall talent and music) deal with Jamie
Lynn Spears' costar on Zoey 101, Victoria Justice. According to the
following report, Nickelodeon (partnered with Sony BMG Music
Entertainment) will produce a new TV comedy series revolving around
Victoria Justice.
 The announcement was made by Paula
Kaplan, Nickelodeon's executive vice president of talent and West Coast
general manager.
As part of the new pact, Nickelodeon, in partnership with Sony BMG
Music Entertainment, is developing a comedy series as a starring
vehicle for Justice.
Created and directed by Dan Schneider, whose other shows include
"iCarly," "Zoey 101" and "Drake & Josh," the new project will
be
set in a modern day school for the performing arts and feature original
music.
The network also said it has tapped the former "Zoey 101" lead for a
co-starring role in the upcoming Nickelodeon original television movie,
"Spectacular," which is set in the competitive world of show
choirs.
"Victoria is a rare kind of actress. She's beautiful, yet
takes a
fearless approach to acting," Kaplan said in a statement. "Kids loved
her on 'Zoey 101' because she could boldly take a pie in the face or
just as easily tackle a dramatic scene. It is this versatility combined
with her musical talent and real-girl qualities that make her someone
we are excited about."
