Amanda Bynes is planning her acting comeback

The Nickelodeon actor had previously confessed she missed acting, after announcing an indefinite hiatus in 2010

Amanda Bynes is ready for a comeback.

The actor, who shot to stardom at age 13 thanks to Nickelodeon's The Amanda Show, running from 1999-2002, proving she had some of the most formidable comedic chops of the late '90s, went on to star in the likes of Big Fat Liar and She's the Man. Her last onscreen role was 2010's Easy A, before she announced an indefinite hiatus from acting, withdrawing from public life and studying at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising.

In a statement to Page Six, Bynes' lawyer stated: “Amanda is looking forward to ringing in the new year with her close friends this year. In 2018, she looks forward to completing fashion school and dipping her toe back into acting. She has had several offers but is waiting for the right one to come along for a comeback."

Earlier this year, Bynes sat down for her first interview in four years, opening up about her mental health and revealing she is three years sober, after a series of heavily publicised legal issues, including two hit and run charges and two DUI arrests. She was hospitalised in 2013 for mental health issues and was placed under a conservatorship controlled by her parents, regaining control of her finances this year.

Speaking with Diana Madison of Hollyscoop, Bynes said that she missed acting and hinted at her desire to return to the industry. "I do miss acting, and I have something surprising to tell you: I'm going to start acting again," she revealed. "I want to do TV. Maybe a few guest spots on some shows that I'm a fan of and maybe another TV show where I'm the star of it, in the future. That's what I hope."
