LIZZIE MCGUIRE Set to Make Its Revival on Disney+ With Hilary Duff and Original Creator Terri Minsky Returning
Disney is bringing one of its most successful series ever back to TV on its new streaming service, Disney+! Star of the series Hilary Duff is set to reprise her role, with the original creator for the series, Terri Minsky, returning to head up the reboot. Deadline reports the following description of the series that will put a new spin on the old formula for the hit show:
In the reimagined version of the sitcom, a sequel to the 2001 Disney Channel series, Lizzie McGuire (Duff) is a 30-year-old millennial navigating life in New York City. Like the original series, it will include the familiar animated version of a young Lizzie who offers up funny, revealing commentary on what 30-year-old Lizzie is really thinking.
The report says that while we have seen Duff as a series regular on the series Younger, this new job will not disrupt her other role. They state, “Under a waiver granted by TV Land/Viacom, Duff will be able to do both Younger and Lizzie McGuire.”
So that’s great for fans of both series. It has not yet been reported which of the other series originals will be back for the update, but information will roll out soon now that the news is out. Check out Duff’s Instagram announcement below, and let us know if you’re a fan from way back who is so excited for this reboot.
