The Honor List, previously known as Honored, was announced last year

out of a partnership between Lionsgate, Popsugar Films, Cinestar Pictures, Untitled Entertainment, and Destro Films. Actress Zoe Saldana is one of the project’s executive producers, as are her sisters Cisely and Mariel.

In order to promote The Honor List, Rienks brought on her castmate Pieterse as the first guest in the second season of her podcast Don’t Blame Me. In the episode, Rienks and Pieterse dispense advice to listeners, many of whom are teenage girls.

Beyond her role in The Honor List, Rienks is keeping busy with a number of off-YouTube projects. She recently launched Martie, a monthly subscription box. The first edition of the box, which is inspired by Rienks’ role in The Honor List, will ship two weeks after the film’s May 11 premiere.

The Honor List is available via iTunes, where it costs $7.99.
