Like her character in netflix's AfterlifeOfTheParty, actress and singer VictoriaJustice has found a new sense of the word 'home'
Afterlife of the PartyDirected by Stephen Herek, the dark comedy centers around boisterous party planner Cassie who dies in a freak accident on the week of her 25th birthday. After waking up in “the In-Between,” she encounters her guardian angel Val who informs Cassie she must return to Earth and make amends with three important people in her life: her yoga influencer dad Howie , career-driven best friend Lisa , and absent mother Sofia .
It was the character’s unique redemption arc that initially intrigued Justice. “[Cassie] starts off as this social butterfly that’s somewhat self-involved and really isn’t as appreciative of the people in her life as she could be,” she says. “To then have this devastating, dramatic thing happen to her like death, it really opens her eyes and helps her grow in a lot of ways.”
As Justice brought Cassie to life on screen, the character’s personality transformation from self-absorbed to self-sacrificing caused the actress to reflect on her own life and relationships. “Just playing Cassie — she’s 25 and she dies. That's such a young age,” she says. “None of us really know how long we're going to have here. I think [the film] just reminded me that it's just so important to take care of the people you love and make sure they know how much you love them.

She recalls how, after complimenting Adam Garcia’s T-shirt, on which was a printed picture of an octopus, the actor gifted it to Justice before flying home to London. And her friendship with Francis grew to become as strong as their on-screen counterparts. “I love Midori. She’s one of my friends to this day.
The scenes opposite Gloria Garcia exploring their mother-daughter bond were “a little challenging” because they were so poignant and such a far cry from Justice's relationship with her own mother. In order to pull herself into that “dark headspace,” she would listen to Sia’s sorrowful single “” to tap into Cassie’s feelings of hurt and abandonment. “I think the relationship between mother and daughter is such a special one. And it's so complicated in so many ways,” she reflects.
