Earlier this month, Disney+ announced that after filming two episodes of the reboot, original series creator Terri Minsky exited her post as showrunner. A new showrunner has not yet been named.
“Fans have a sentimental attachment toLizzie McGuireand high expectations for a new series,” a Disney spokesperson said in a statement to PEOPLE. “After filming two episodes, we concluded that we need to move in a different creative direction and are putting a new lens on the series.”

Popularity led the show to be made into a 2003 film,The Lizzie McGuire Movie,in which Lizzie went on a trip of a lifetime to Rome, Italy, following her 8th-grade graduation and got mistaken for an international pop star. The character of Miranda did not appear in the film.
The new series is slated to revolve around Lizzie as a 30-year-old millennial navigating life in New York City.
Duff has confirmed that the animated alter ego of Lizzie’s inner thoughts will return.
“She is still dealing with that 13-year-old no-holds-barred animated Lizzie that’s constantly babbling in her adult Lizzie head,” she said. “So she has to deal with that. But I think that’s what’s going to make it really special.”
