People have been dreaming of a Lizzie McGuire revival almost for the reason that show ended, and lately it’s begun to appear to be a possibility. Hilary Duff has said she’s on board, and old shows are getting latest reboots every other day. But it surely still hasn’t happened. Don’t hand over hope! Duff hasn’t yet.
On a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, she told host Andy Cohen that she would âin factâ still be all the way down to do a latest tackle the show. Cohen desired to know why a previous attempt at Disney+ failed some time ago, and Duff had a diplomatic response.
âDisney+ was very latest, you understand,â she said. âAnd I feel they were like determining their â and we were determining our â and like, and so â I’m optimistic.â
When the primary attempt was axed in 2020, Duff was a bit less peppy about the probabilities.
âI do know efforts and conversations have been in every single place attempting to make a reboot work but, sadly and despite everyoneâs best efforts, it isnât going to occur,â she wrote on the time on Instagram. âI would like any reboot of Lizzie to be honest and authentic to who Lizzie can be today. Itâs what the character deserves. We will all take a moment to mourn the amazing woman she would have been and the adventures we’d have taken together with her. Iâm very sad, but I promise everyone tried their best and the celebs just didnât align.â
The actress really cares about her âvisionâ of what the brand new McGuire can be, because it is a personality very near her heart. When things didn’t work out with Disney+, she reached out to Hulu to request they pick up the show as a substitute to avoid âlimiting the realities for a 30-year-oldâs journey to live under the ceiling of a PG rating.â
That is definitely a version of Lizzie McGuire plenty of people would love to see, like all of the 30-year-old fans who grew up with Lizzie to start with.
