Hilary Duff says she’s “optimistic” about the Disney+ Lizzie McGuire reboot
How I Met Your Mother star Hilary Duff has opened up about the possibility of revisiting the scrapped Lizzie McGuire reboot.
Back in 2019, Disney announced that a sequel series of the popular early 2000s series was set to make its way to Disney+. The show, which saw the return of original series creator Terri Minsky, was set to follow a 30-year-old Lizzie (Duff) as she navigates her life in New York City and new job as an apprentice decorator.
Unfortunately a year after the revival was announced, the series faced a massive setback when Minsky stepped down as showrunner due to creative differences.
A few months after the creator’s departure, Disney announced that the project would no longer move forward, despite filming two episodes. “Unless and until we are confident we can meet those expectations, we’ve decided to hold off,” a Disney spokeswoman told Deadline.
