Since Spears announced she was pregnant last month, Nickelodeon executives believe that the situation doesn't pose much of a threat to the network's "Zoey" franchise, which includes millions of dollars in merchandising and DVD sales.

The fourth season of the series is already filmed, so there will be no need to deal with Spears' pregnancy on the show.

"For the kids that are old enough to be following this thing and reading the tabloids, there is nothing that Nickelodeon is going to be able to do to stop that," Thompson says.

"There are other things besides Nickelodeon that are going to be teaching these kids about the birds and the bees, and if we're depending upon Jamie Lynn Spears' mistake to be the way we teach that to kids via Nickelodeon, then we've got some serious problems," he says.

"Zoey 101" is a tween series that premiered in January 2005. It quickly became a hit among the tween demo and has been the most-watched show on television among kids aged 9-14.

There's another thread in the same forum saying it will be canceled due to the pregnancy.

So what's the official word on this? Is it going to return next season or not? I may not be a tween, but I still like the show and hope it's not canceled.
