Austin Butler: Will Elvis star reprise his ‘Zoey 101’ role

Austin Butler may be back with an older role.

Austin Butler discussed the prospect of appearing in the next Zoey 101 movie.

The 31-year-old actor admitted on the Variety Awards Circuit podcast that he has not yet been approached about it.

“I haven’t heard anything about that, I don’t know,” Butler revealed. “I’m so grateful for all those stepping stones that I had throughout my years.”

Butler portrayed Zoey's on-screen love interest James Garrett in the original Nickelodeon series, which aired from 2005 to 2008. He participated in the show's fourth season.

He continued, “Zoey 101 was a big turning point for me ‘cause it was the first time I was ever a series regular on a show so I got to be a part of an entire season. I remember getting my first line on a TV show and that was huge for me.”

The Elvis actor shared, “You have all these different moments that are pivotal...But now I’m just going after whatever story resonates with me or whatever director or actors I really wanna work with.”

Who else is returning besides Austin Butler?

When star Jamie Lynn Spears revealed to People magazine that she would be reuniting with former cast members Erin Sanders, Sean Flynn, Matthew Underwood, Christopher Massey, Abby Wilde, and Jack Salvatore as she reprises the titular role of Zoey Brooks from the original Nickelodeon series, the upcoming Paramount+ film, Zoey 102, was announced back in January.
