Last year, Disney+ announced that they were reviving Lizzie McGuire with Hilary Duff. Then last month, they fired the creator, because they wanted to go in a different direction, and put the show’s production on hold. Yesterday, the actress took to social media, asking that Lizzie move from Disney+ to its sister streaming site Hulu like the Love, Simon sequel will do.
Was incredibly excited to launch “Lizzie” on Da- and my passion remains! However, I feel a huge responsibility to honor the fans’ relationship with LIZZIE who, like me, grew up seeing themselves in her. I’d be doing a disservice to everyone by limiting the realities of a 30 year old’s journey to live under the ceiling of a PG rating. It’s important to me that just as her experiences as a preteen / teenager navigating life were authentic, her next chapters are equally as real and relatable. It would be o dream if Disney would let us move the show to Hulu, if they were interested, and I could bring this beloved character to life again!”.
To me, it sounds that Lizzie will no longer be happening. At least we are getting Proud Family!
Hilary Duff married her baby daddy at her house on Saturday. According to People, the Younger star and Matthew Koma had an intimate wedding with their family and close friends.
No word what roles her son, Luca Cruz. 7, with her first husband, Mike Comrie, and their daughter, Banks, 13 months, played in their ceremony. I am sure it was a big one.
Like OMG! Hilary Duff is going back to where it all started for her because Disney+ is doing a Lizzie McGuire revival for the streaming service. We don’t know when it will air, who will be part of it or what it is about. However, we do know that show creator Terri Minsky and Hilary Duff are attached!
The series that was a mix of live-action and animation aired from 2001-2004 with a 2003 movie on the big screen.
If that is not enough exciting news for you Disney Channel fans, they also announced Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Candace Against the Universe.
How excited are you that that is happening? Netflix must be getting nervous or at least they should be.
TV Land announced today that its lone original scripted show Younger will be back for a 7th season.
The show which is currently its 6th season and it is still finding new audience members. In fact, the season premiere saw a 23% rise in viewership. Not only that, it is the #1 show with female and total viewers in the 25-54 age group. Which Liza is still in, but if the sitcom goes on for much longer, her character will age out it.
I have to admit I have not seen this season, I plan on binging it when it is done. Now that it was picked up for another season, I might start binging it now. It does get better with each season and not many shows can do that.
Acting has always been in Hilary Duff’s blood. Even when she was a little girl, she loved doing it. Even if people could not see her face as she was doing it.
Case in point, she shared a photo of herself dressed as a rat for Nutcracker when she was just 7 years old. Even though she playing a rat, she is as happy as could be. If I played an ugly oversized mouse, the only person who would be happy about it is my cat as she went to kill me.
