Hilary Duff Doesn’t ‘Love’ Talking About The ‘Lizzie McGuire’ Reboot

Hilary Duff is giving a glimmer of hope that the “Lizzie McGuire” reboot could still happen. “I don’t love to talk about this, because the internet seems to explode whenever ‘Lizzie’ stuff is brought up,” she said in an interview with the Cut’s “In Her Shoes” podcast. “I think there’s always a possibility there.

And even if she’s 40, I don’t think people care. It’s always going to be somewhat interesting to people to see where she ended up.” A reboot of the hit Disney Channel show was in the works for Disney+ but creative differences between Duff and Disney over how much of Lizzie’s grownup life to show caused the stop to pre-production in 2020.

And I worked so hard in my career and I have such a busy life at home with my kids, unless I’m being fulfilled, I don’t want to be locked into something that isn’t making me happy,” Duff added. “I think they’re really trying to figure out what kind of content they want living on Disney+,” Duff told SiriusXM at the time. “That doesn’t totally align with where I see Lizzie right now.
