“I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the upcoming movie ‘All My Friends Are Dead,’” Siwa said, revealing her love for horror films. “This is a project that is so different from anything I’ve done previously; however, I absolutely love horror movies and I can’t wait to start production!” Details about Siwa’s character and other cast members have not yet been revealed, with further casting set to be in process. It has, however, been revealed that Siwa will be joining Pettyjohn, who is best known for her role as Lexie Richardson in Little Fires Everywhere and Grace Sullivan in Big Sky. Siwa was delighted to be cast alongside Pettyjohn, whom she worked with previously on two episodes of Nickelodeon’s School of Rock. “I’m also excited to work with Jade again. We worked together when we were younger and [I] can’t wait to create this movie together [with her].”

Siwa has a long career in the film and television industry, with her rise to fame coming after her appearance in Season 5 of Dance Moms.
