It's Been 18 Years Since "Zoey 101" Premiered, So Here's What The Cast Looked Like Then Vs. Now

Zoey 101 is back. Well, it's Zoey 102 now. The Nickelodeon TV show that aired from 2005 to 2008 is returning for a one-off film that follows where many of the PCA alums are today.

Not everyone is returning, though. Victoria Justice, Paul Butcher, and Alexa Nikolas are among the cast members who don't appear in the film.

It's been 18 years since the show premiered and 15 years since it went off the air. So in honor of the cast returning nearly two decades later, here's a look at what the Zoey 101 crew looked like back in the day vs. now:
