Zoey 101 is an American comedy drama television series created by Dan Schneider for Nickelodeon. It aired from January 9, 2005, to May 2, 2008, spanning a total of 61 episodes across four seasons.

It focuses on the lives of Zoey Brooks (Jamie Lynn Spears), her brother Dustin (Paul Butcher), and her friends as they attend Pacific Coast Academy, a fictional boarding school in Southern California.

It was initially filmed at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, then at stages in Valencia beginning in the third season.[2] It was nominated for an "Outstanding Children's Program" Emmy in 2005.[3] Zoey 101 was the most expensive production ever for a Nickelodeon standard, as it was shot completely on location in Malibu.[4]

The series won three Young Artist Awards, two Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards and a Neox Fan Award.[5]

A soundtrack and several video games based on the series have also been released. In July 2023, a film, Zoey 102, was released on Paramount+.
