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!
