When it comes to the Lizzie McGuire revival, Disney is still hard at work making sure that the series lives up to the standards of fans who grew up with Lizzie.
Terri Minsky, creator of the original Disney Channel show and writer for over sixty episodes, has recently stepped away from her role as showrunner for the series and production placed on hiatus while they find a replacement.
"After filming two episodes, we concluded that we need to move in a different creative direction and are putting a new lens on the show," one Disney spokesperson said.
The original Lizzie McGuire series ran for two seasons from 2001 to 2004 and included a theatrically released film titled The Lizzie McGuire Movie in 2003. The show established Hilary Duff as a household name across America, centering on her character's struggle to navigate middle school as a thirteen-year-old girl.
The Disney+ revival was initially announced by Duff herself at the Disney fan "D23 Expo" event in August of last year.
