The "Lizzie McGuire" Revival Production Has Shut Down After Two Episodes And The Show's Creator Quit

A spokesperson confirmed: "We concluded that we need to move in a different direction and are putting a new lens on the series."

早在去年8月,希拉里·达夫(Hilary Duff)宣布她将重新扮演丽兹·麦奎尔(Lizzie McGuire)的角色,使许多00年代的女孩实现了梦想。

希拉里(Hilary)在Instagram上透露,生产将在秋季开始,并说她“极度兴奋”重新获得角色。

And a month later, Hilary shared this adorable photo of herself with the rest of the McGuire family on set during their first day of shooting.

Needless to say, fans were over the moon with the photos and began counting down the days until the season premiere.

However, the entire project appears to now be in peril after the original series creator and showrunner, Terri Minsky, stepped down after shooting just two episodes.

In fact, Disney+ has now released a statement revealing that production has entirely halted in the wake of the news.

"Fans have a sentimental attachment to Lizzie McGuire and high expectations for a new series," a Disney spokesperson toldVariety。“在拍摄了两集之后,我们得出的结论是,我们需要朝着不同的方向移动,并在该系列中放置新的镜头。”

It's unclear what this "new lens" will end up being, but a previously released synopsis for the revival hinted that Lizzie would be facing new challenges as she turned 30.

The synopsis read:

She seemingly has it all – her dream job as an assistant to a fancy New York City Interior Designer, her dream guy and a picturesque Brooklyn apartment – but things aren’t always as they seem. With a little help from her old friends and some new ones to come, her well-meaning family and her 13-year-old alter-ego in animated form, Lizzie navigates the ups and downs of adulthood.

And just three months ago, Hilary opened up about feeling inspired by the prospect of playing Lizzie as a grown-up.

她继续说:“我想自己,'我们可以去哪里?现在30岁的挣扎是什么?生活在30岁的女人面前造成了什么压力那些东西吗?而且,对我来说,那是Lizzie McGuire。”

So far none of the cast or crew has spoken about the news. And we might be waiting a while to hear from Hilary — she's currently enjoying her honeymoon after tying the knot with Matthew Koma the week before Christmas.
