Netflix has released the official trailer for the upcoming comedy movie titled Afterlife of the Party, starring former Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice. The film is scheduled to make its debut on September 2.
The video, which you can check out in the player below, begins with Justice’s Cassie who suddenly dies after partying too much despite her best friend’s warnings. However, before she can be able to pass on to a better place, she must deal with some of her unfinished business and make it right by her family before her time’s up.

Afterlife of the Party is directed by Stephen Herek from a screenplay by Carrie Freedle. It stars Victoria Justice, Midori Francis, Robyn Scott, Adam Garcia, Timothy Renouf, Gloria Garcia, Myfanwy Waring, and Spencer Sutherland.
“Party planner and social butterfly Cassie is on top of the world, but a freak accident during her 25th birthday extravaganza brings it all crashing down – literally,” reads the official synopsis. “When she finds herself in the waiting room of the afterlife, Cassie meets Val, her guardian angel, who explains that she has five days as an angel-in-training to make things right on Earth with the people who meant the most to her: her lifelong best friend Lisa, her grieving father, and her estranged mother.
In order to repair those relationships and make it to the big VIP room in the sky, Cassie breaks through the spiritual plane to communicate with Lisa and enlists her help to set things right with everyone. In her journey of reflection and forgiveness, and, in true Cassie fashion, a few makeovers and impromptu dance parties along the way, Cassie finds that she might be the one with the most to learn.”
