Victoria Justice (Lola), Austin Butler (James), Paul Butcher (Dustin), Christopher Murray (Dean Rivers), and Jessica Chaffin (Coco) are notably absent.
Austin Butler (James) revealed that he wasn't asked to return. He said, "I haven't heard anything about that. I don't know. I'm so grateful for all those stepping stones that I had throughout my career. Zoey 101 (2005) was a big turning point for me, because it was the first time I was ever a series regular on a show, so I got to be part of an entire season. I remember getting my first line on a TV show, and that was huge for me, you have all these different moments that are pivotal for you, but now I'm just going after whatever story resonates with me or whatever director or actors that I really want to work with."
Victoria Justice (Lola) couldn't return to reprise her character due to scheduling conflicts, but her character's photographs are used in the movie. She expressed her thoughts by saying "I had a lot going on at the moment, to be honest, and timing-wise it was just hard to make it all work. It was not because of a lack of love for the cast and for that show. I am so grateful people to that whole time in my life and for being on that show. Zoey 101 (2005) is what put me on the map in that whole world and I had the best time making it. I love that cast so much, each of them. They all hold a very special place in my heart. I really wish I could have been there, to be honest. I'm sad that I missed out on it because I really do love each of them, but I'm sure the film looks amazing, I was in contact with all of them and talking to Jamie Lynn Spears a lot and so I know the movie's gonna be awesome. I'm rooting for them so hard. I can't wait to see it."
Zoey's house number is 102.
The actual running time of the movie is 1:41:29. When put into minutes would be 101 minutes and 29 seconds.
