Lizzie McGuire, the hit Disney Channel TV series that launched Hillary Duff's career is being revived for Disney+. Duff, who will be reprising her role, attended the D23 Expo to an enthusiastic group of fans. Details about the series have also been released.
“The good news is, just like me and everybody who loved Lizzie and has grown up with her, Lizzie’s also grown up,” Duff said about the revival. “She’s older, she’s wiser, she has a much bigger shoe budget, which is super exciting. She has her dream job. She has kind of the perfect life right now.”
Duff then revealed more details about her aged-up character. “She’s working as an apprentice to a fancy New York City decorator,” she said. “She has her dream guy, who owns a cool SoHo restaurant. She has her dream apartment in Brooklyn. And she’s getting ready to celebrate her 30th birthday.”
But the real exciting news came next: the animated alter ego of Lizzie’s inner thoughts is returning too! “She is still dealing with that 13-year-old no-holds-barred animated Lizzie that’s constantly babbling in her adult Lizzie head,” Duff said as the audience broke into cheers. “So she has to deal with that. But I think that’s what’s going to make it really special.”
Original series creator Terri Minsky is also back as showrunner.
