Ever since the Lizzie McGuire reboot was announced for Disney+, it seems to have been plagued by problems. Back in November of 2019, production of the show began. However, it was suspended a few months later in January when Duff went on her honeymoon.
Then, just a few days before Duff returned from her honeymoon, it was announced that show runner, Terri Minsky, was removed from that position for the show. Per Variety, it seems that Minsky was let go because of her and Duff wanting to do a more adult version of Lizzie McGuire. Disney wanted to keep with the original series that aired back in the early 2000s and keep it youthful and family-friendly.
At least two episodes of the Lizzie McGuire reboot for Disney+ were actually filmed as Minsky and Duff wished, but Disney was not onboard and wanted to continue to keep it more family-friendly.
Duff did request that Disney move the show away from Disney+ and over to Hulu as Disney now owns both streaming services. However, it looks like no compromise could be reached and the show will mostly likely night make to our living rooms anytime soon, if at all.
Are you bummed to hear that the Lizzie McGuire reboot for Disney+ has been cancelled? Let us know in the comments below.
