Nickelodeon star Victoria Justice is set to star in an MTV series based on RL Stine's best-selling cyber thriller, "Eye Candy," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Justice will play Lindy, a tech genius who suspects one of her online dating suitors to be a deadly cyber stalker.
On Saturday, the former "Victorious" star tweeted, "So excited to be shooting the pilot #EyeCandy for @MTV in NYC!"

Not only does she resonate with our audience, she has a huge fan base and is extremely talented. We are very lucky to have her."
