Matt Shively Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Jordin Sparks has booked one of the lead roles in Besties, a new series from Freeform.

Deadline reports that the 29-year-old singer will star as Becca, an ambitious overachiever from a hard-working, conservative African-American family, who learns that her birth mother is actually white.

It was also revealed that Matt Shively is set to play Matt, a former athlete and current bar manager, who can’t completely let go of his glory days; with Brooks Brantly, as Becca’s brother Todd, a mama’s boy who still lives in their parent’s basement.

Set in Los Angeles, the series will follow Becca and her newly discovered half-sister Jesi, as they’re thrown into each other’s lives by an online genetics test and have to figure out how to go from strangers to sisters.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since the premiere of True Jackson VP on Nickelodeon.

If you don’t remember, the show starring Keke Palmer, Ashley Argota and Matt Shively, focused on True, a sandwich sales girl, who was offered a dream job as vice president in charge of Mad Style’s youth apparel line.

“We kind of had the chemistry right away, but, of course, during the course of us working together, we became even more in tune and even more able to play off each other and kind of get where the other’s gonna go with something,” Keke revealed in a new interview with IBT, about her chemistry with Ashley and Matt.

She added, “Our bond just increased over time. Ashley and I, we had most of our stuff together, and we became very, very close by the end of the show.

“Ashley and I were both girls and about the same age, and he [Matt] was kinda getting ready to be an adult and leave his family house…So, we were at two different cross-points, but I think that was also a big part of our relationship, as well, because we could learn from each other.”

As for a possible reboot or reunion, Keke says that it all depends.

“For the kids that were watching the show, I could see myself doing something for them, but it would definitely have to be more mature,” she shared. “‘Cause I do think that’s an important thing to give to your audience, too.”

“If you do something that you did before, in a current way, you really gotta make it current…I would want it to be more [mature] because she’s 25 now.”
