Jamie Lynn Marie Spears (born April 4, 1991) is an American actress and singer. She is the younger sister of pop star Britney Spears.
She rose to prominence as a cast member on Nickelodeon's All That in season eight and season nine, leaving afterwards to play Zoey Brooks on Zoey 101. Jamie Lynn joined All That in Season 8. She was the youngest cast member of All That until Christina Kirkman came along.
Her casting on All That led to appearances on the SNICK On Air Dare with her castmates. She also sang the Zoey 101 theme song "Follow Me".
When Spears announced she was pregnant in 2007, Zoey 101 had not yet finished airing its episodes. This led many fans to believe the show had been canceled because of her pregnancy. However, production had already been wrapped by the time of the announcement.
On July 13, 2018, Spears returned to Nickelodeon for the first time in over ten years as a contestant on the revived game show Double Dare with her daughter Maddie, competing against fellow All That alumnus Josh Server and his niece.
In November 2019, Teen Vogue reported that Spears has joined the cast of a new Nickelodeon television series, which is uniting two of the channel's most iconic shows from the past: All That and Zoey 101. In July 2020, the cast of Zoey 101 reunited in an episode of the eleventh season of All That. Spears played herself and her old All That character Thelma Stump.
