Lizzie McGuire star Hilary Duff made the announcement on Instagram on Wednesday saying, “I’ve been so honored to have the character of Lizzie in my life. She has made such a lasting impact on many, including myself. To see the fans’ loyalty and love for her, to this day, means so much to me. I know the efforts and conversations have been everything trying to make a reboot work, but sadly despite everyone’s best efforts, it isn’t going to happen. I want any reboot of Lizzie to be honest and authentic to who Lizzie would be today. It’s what the character deserves. We can all take a moment to mourn the amazing woman she would have been and the adventures we would have taken with her. I’m very sad, but I promise everyone tried their best and the stars just didn’t align. Hey now, this is what 2020’s made of.”

A spokesperson for Disney said, “Lizzie McGuire’s fans have high expectations for any new stories. Unless and until we are confident we can meet those expectations, we’ve decided to hold off and today, we informed the cast’s representatives that we are not moving forward with the planned series.”

A revival of the Disney Channel show has been in the works at Disney+ since 2019, but it was put on hold at the beginning of the year after creator and revival showrunner Terri Minsky left the show due to creative differences. Production started in November but paused in January because Duff was going on her honeymoon.

Lead actress Hilary Duff, who’ll also serve as executive producer of the upcoming Disney+ series, broke the amazing news and she’s as excited about it as the rest of us.

“Gordo was an essential piece of the puzzle to what made the original Lizzie McGuire so authentic and beloved. I couldn’t imagine the series without him. I can’t wait for fans to see what he’s up to 15 years later and how he fits into Lizzie’s adult world,” said Hilary Duff.

The upcoming Lizzie McGuire series will center on the titular character as she navigates life in New York City as a 30-year-old millennial. Lamberg isn’t the first original cast member to announce his return. Hallie Todd, Robert Carradine, and Jake Thomas previously confirmed they’ll be back to playing members 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.

The series, which originally ran from 2001-2004 shot Duff into stardom, is making a comeback.

The new series was announced at the D23 Expo convention on Friday. Duff shared some details about the project with expo-goers. 

“The good news is, just like me and everybody who loved Lizzie and has grown up with her, Lizzie’s also grown up,” Duff revealed. “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.”

“She’s working as an apprentice to a fancy New York City decorator,” she continued. “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.”

The series is a Disney+ exclusive.
