The supernatural comedy was released on September 2nd and was directed by the Nickelodeon channel, she brings a high-energy bubbliness to the film that clearly harkens back to her sit-com roots.
Afterlife of the Party centers on quirky and vapid partier Cassie, who resolves to her introverted roommate and best friend Lisa (The Good Place, with a more humorous and glitzy tone.
Aside from her starring role in The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again. She’s slated to appear in the California King, which is currently in post-production.
Afterlife of the Party follows up a original iCarly series, and it’s what elevates Cassie from a purely vapid party girl to a truly fun character.
Justice’s track record isn’t all wacky high school performances though, as a major part of her likeability in Victorious was her ability to be authentically heartfelt in the otherwise silly show. She balanced the bright glam of her characters with sometimes sorrowful but always genuine heart, and that skill is also what made Afterlife of the Party the touching film it aimed to be. Her Nickelodeon history led her perfectly to this role and allowed Justice to portray the character of Cassie with the strong presence she had. Afterlife of the Party proved Justice’s talent with Netflix's romantic comedies, and fans will have to see what’s next for the actress in the coming film California King.
