One of the more eagerly anticipated shows was an update of Lizzie McGuire, the popular Disney Channel sitcom that made Hilary Duff a teen star in the 2000s.
The new Lizzie was to be overseen by the original series’ creator, Terri Minsky, and feature Duff as an older and more mature Lizzie.
When Disney+ was first announced, the lineup of originals was littered with new versions of longtime Disney favorites.
Disney attributed the decision to a need for “a different creative direction and … putting a new lens on the show.”
