After a decade-plus hiatus from acting, jamielynnspears talks to The Hollywood Reporter about her return in Netflix's new series 'Sweet Magnolias' — while also sharing the latest plans for a 'Zoey 101' reboot
What was it about Noreen that made you want to play her?
Being a teenager the last time you were on a set, how did it feel to return to acting after taking so much time off? There were so many little nods from the universe, telling me that this is what I was supposed to be doing. Number one, Serenity being the name of the town. That's a big part of my life, that word in general. Also, we shot in this small town [Covington, Georgia] that happened to be where my first music producer's wife is from. Her mother came in and watched Ivey for me one night while I was on set, because I knew them. It was just so bizarre, but in a cool way.
You also had a great vantage point with Britney Spears as your big sister. Because of her, you knew exactly what fame and hard work looked like. How do you think having that example worked to your benefit when you were first starting out? Everything and anything is on the table, whether that's a movie or a series. In all of the discussions I've had with Nickelodeon — which are in baby stages, by the way — the main thing is figuring out the right home for the reboot. We couldn't do it justice by putting it back on Nickelodeon because our fanbase has grown into young adults like me, 29 years old or around the same age. We want to tell stories about where the characters are now.
