Jamie Lynn Spears is having the time of her life filming Zoey 102 , the reboot of her Nickelodeon series from the 2000s, Zoey 101 , in which she plays the title role.
Behind-The-Scenes Photos
On Monday, the 31-year-old actress, singer, and younger sister of Britney Spears shared a carousel of photos on Instagram taken on the set, giving her 2.2 million followers a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming movie.
‘Bittersweet Feels’
Along with the photos, she posted a heartfelt message saying, “Bittersweet feels. I truly love all of these humans,” referring to the film’s cast and crew.
‘Magical Experience’
“The NEW ERA of ZOEY would not exist without each and every person doing their part to create this magical experience, including our amazing fans,” she continued.
10 Pics Are Not Enough
Lamenting the fact that Instagram only allows 10 pics in a carousel post, she concluded, “gonna need wayyyy more then 10 photos to include all of these wonderful people tho #ZOEY102”
