As part of the pact, the studio and network will develop joint projects featuring roles specifically tailored for the former Nickelodeon star.

They will also be able to have Justice guest star on existing Fox/20th television series.

The network and studio have young female ensemble horror comedy Scream Queens, and Justice’s background as a recording artist would also make her a good fit for music-fueled projects like Empire and Urban Cowboy

Justice has toplined her own series both on the comedy and drama side with the Nickelodeon sitcom Victorious and MTV thriller Eye Candy.

“We’re thrilled to bring Victoria Justice into the fold as we develop our next round of fresh, young and vibrant material that can be tailored to her distinct point of view and considerable talent,” said Sharon Klein, 20th Century Fox Television’s EVP Casting. “She has an incredibly relevant fan base and major social media presence, making this a truly exciting partnership with unlimited options.”

Justice will next star in the indie romantic comedy Naomi + Ely’s No Kiss List, which will be released September 18 on iTunes.

She’ll also star in this fall’s high school comedy The Outskirts, opening wide November 6.

Her series credits also include Zoey 101 and iCarly

Justice Cast in the Indie Film “Naomi + Ely’s No Kiss List”

Forget the No Fly List… Victoria Justice has landed on the No Kiss List.

The 20-year-old half-Puerto Rican actress/singer and former Nickelodeon star has signed on to star opposite up-and-comer Pierson Fode  in the indie film Naomi + Ely’s No Kiss List.

The romantic comedy is based on the popular young-adult novel by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan (Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist).

Directed by Kristin Hanggit, the story revolves around NYU freshmen and childhood neighbors Naomi (Justice) and Ely (Fode), who have been in love with one another their whole lives, even though Ely isn’t exactly into girls. The institution of a “No Kiss List” has prevented the two from rifts in the past, but their bond is tested when they both fall for the same guy. The once inseparable pair must figure out if they can let go and grow up.

Amy Andelson and Emily Meyer adapted the screenplay.

The film is shooting in New York City.

Justice is best known as the singer and breakout Nickelodeon star of Victorious. She also starred in Paramount Pictures‘ teen comedy adventure Fun Size.
