People were out of their mings when Hilary Duff announced she’s returning to the role of Lizzie McGuire in the upcoming reboot, and it turns out she’s not the only one. Original cast members Hallie Todd, Robert Carradine, and Jake Thomas are coming back to play the rest of the McGuire family.
Ricky Strauss, president of content and marketing for the new streaming service Disney+, broke the amazing news and welcomed the entire cast to the family.
“We are incredibly excited to bring back one of the most popular Disney Channel series of all time along with some beloved and familiar faces. With Terri at the helm and Hilary, Hallie, Robert, and Jake back after all these years, it’s our honor to welcome the McGuire family into the Disney+ family,” said Strauss in a statement.
Disney+ is officially launching on November 12th, but the premiere date for the Lizzie McGuire revival series is still uncertain. Terri Minsky, who created the original series, will still serve as showrunner of the reboot, revolving around Lizzie in her 30s as she tries to navigate life in NYC.
