Hilary Duff, 34, has admitted that she hasn’t given up hope quite yet on a scrapped adult ‘Lizzie McGuire’ reboot. In an interview with The Cut, the actress spoke about her time on the popular Disney show and the possibility of bringing it back to an audience today! In the interview, Duff kept hope alive saying the following,
“I don’t love to talk about this because the internet seems to explode whenever Lizzie stuff is brought up, but it’s not dead and it’s not alive. 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.“
Duff had announced a reboot of her classic show in 2019, when members of the original cast were brought back to shoot two episodes. Later, in 2020, Duff posted on Instagram asking Disney+ to move the revival of her shot to Hulu so that the story wouldn’t have to be a PG rating. Though, this obviously didn’t happen.

She explained that she wanted to take the story in a more adult-oriented direction and not have to stick to a PG area. The Lizzie reboot was met with massive excitement and even had a Change.org petition to save the reboot with nearly 10,000 signatures.
While it didn’t happen then, it’s still on the horizon and with Duff so adamant about continuing the story of Lizzie, there’s plenty to look forward to! In the meantime, Duff has been very busy being a mother and keeping up with her life could be a show all its own!
