“I was like, guys, this is hilarious, but also we can't do that because ‘been there, done that.’” Eventually, Justice suggested Cassie herself, after her mother said she considered it as a baby name. “What’s so funny is that when I first read the script, my character's name was initially Tori,” Justice says, laughing. Justice says she knew she was “meant to be” cast in Afterlife because of an unintentional Victorious reference. Life is precious, indeed - and it also has a way of coming full circle. “Because you never know when it's all going to be over.” “At the end of the day, I feel like it's a story that reminds you to not take life for granted and that life is precious, and that we have to be kind and take care of the people that we love,” she says. (She’s decided that her little sister, Madison Reed, is her true “best friend.”) The actor hopes that the movie will help viewers do the same. While filming the movie amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Justice naturally took stock of her own relationships. ![]() Female friendships are so deep and complex and fulfilling in so many other ways.” I think it's important for young women to see female friendships being portrayed in a way where women are not just sitting around talking about men. “Cassie’s coming back down to Earth to find the love of her life or mend whatever with her ex-boyfriend or something. “I think it's refreshing that it's a movie that's not just about like getting the guy you like,” Justice says. In a way, the film is a platonic love story, as the BFFs realize how much they truly mean to each other. “I think there have been times in everyone’s lives where you maybe feel like you're getting some distance in a friendship and you're growing apart.” “At a certain point in the story, Cassie says something like, ‘I don't want to just be best friends out of habit,’” the actor says. Justice tells Bustle that plenty of pals will relate to Cassie and Lisa’s struggles. Directed by Stephen Herek ( 101 Dalmations), written by Carrie Freedle, and produced by Robyn Snyder and Deborah Evans, Afterlife is set to premiere on Netflix on Sept. To do so, she’ll have to mend her relationships with friends and family, from her caring, yoga-loving father, to her estranged mother, to, of course, Lisa. Instead of going straight to “the above” or “the below,” Cassie gets stuck in the “in-between” with guardian angel Val (Robyn Scott), who gives her one last chance to right her wrongs on Earth. But things take a turn when she dies in a freak accident right before her big day - and just after a friendship-ending fight with her longtime BFF, Lisa (Midori Francis). Bustle is pleased to reveal an exclusive first look at the movie, which stars Justice as Cassie - a party planner who celebrates her 25th birthday with an epic, multi-day bash dubbed “Cassie-palooza” (think Trina Vega’s birth-week on Victorious).

She later was cast in various movies, such as Afterlife of the Party and A Perfect Pairing. However, Victoria didn’t hit the brakes on her career after spending nearly a decade on the hit kids’ channel. Before she got her big break on Zoey 101, Victoria starred in smaller guest-starring roles on shows such as The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, iCarly and True Jackson VP, as well as films including The Boy Who Cried Werewolf and Spectacular.
