But it’s complicated.
Zoey is so embarrassed to be single that she hires a very handsome man to pose as her kind doctor boyfriend.
Chase is put off even though he has a beautiful date of his own by his side.
But then Zoey and Chase get close again when she reveals to him that she isn’t sure where her life is going.
When did life get so messy? I’d kill to go back to PCA,” says Zoey, who clearly suffers from anxiety. Chase replies, “I’m sure we’d all like to go back.”
She also seems lost and misses her teenage years.
“I just think about all the things I dreamed about in high school and now I’m here. And it’s like, is this it? Is this the dream?’ she muses.

Spears first announced that a sequel was in the works in January, and production began in North Carolina shortly after.
She said in a statement shared by Variety at the time, “I am extremely excited to be back alongside my PCA family and continue the story of Zoey and all of the characters fans know and love.
“As an executive producer, it was an exciting opportunity to work with such incredible talent, as well as Paramount+ and Nickelodeon.”
And when announcing the project on Instagram, Jamie Lynn posted a photo of her director’s chair with her name written on it in pink italics, along with a copy of the script on top of her belongings.

The original series followed the adventures of Zoey, a student who attended the former all-boys school Pacific Coast Academy after enrollment opened to girls.
The show was a hit on Nickelodeon, but was suddenly canceled in 2008 after four seasons and three years on the air.
Since appearing on the series, Spears has continued her acting career with roles in Sweet Magnolias and various other projects.

“Feels bittersweet,” she wrote on the take, adding the cast and crew, “I really love all these people.”
Spears said that “the NEW ERA of ZOEY wouldn’t exist without everyone doing their part to create this magical experience, including our amazing fans.”
