“Was incredibly excited to launch ‘Lizzie’ on D+ and my passion remains!” she wrote. “However, I feel a huge responsibility to honor the fans’ relationship with LIZZIE who, like me, grew up seeing themselves in her.”
“I’d be doing a disservice to everyone by limiting the realities of a 30 year old’s journey to live under the ceiling of a PG rating,” she continued. “It’s important to me that just as her experience as a preteen / teenager navigating her life were authentic, her next chapters are equally as real and relatable.”
“It would be a dream if Disney would let us move the show to Hulu, if they were interested, and I could bring this beloved character to life again,” she added.
If you forgot, the 32-year-old actress’ Disney+ series was recently put on hold to find a new creative direction.
The Lizzie McGuire reboot was supposed to debut this year, but now there is no word on what’s going on with the show, even after Disney+ shared a first look teaser for it.
Earlier this week, it was announced that the Love, Simon TV series was moved from Disney+ to Hulu. Hilary re-posted a news headline and added her own caption, suggesting that her show might have received similar feedback.
“Love, Simon TV Show Pulled From Disney+ as It’s Not ‘Family-Friendly,’” the headline reads.
“Sounds familiar…†she wrote, circling the headline.

UPDATE: ‘Lizzie McGuire’ creator Terri Minsky has opened up about what she hopes for the show, even though she’s no longer involved, PLUS a Disney spokesperson has also spoken out. Find out what they said here!
We have some sad news for fans who have been looking forward to the Lizzie McGuire series – you’ll be waiting a lot longer than you expected, but hopefully it’s for the best!
Disney+ has confirmed that she show has been put on hold in hopes of making it reach the level of quality that fans are expecting.
Terri Minsky, the creator of the original series and showrunner of the revival series, is stepping down from her role and Disney+ is looking to hire a new showrunner to take the show in a different creative direction.
Hilary Duff and the cast had already filmed two episodes for the upcoming revival series, but Disney+ confirms that show will get a “new lens.”
“Fans have a sentimental attachment to Lizzie McGuire and high expectations for a new series,†a Disney spokesperson told Variety. “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.â€
The streaming site just posted a video of all the new shows and movies coming to Disney+ in 2020 – and one of the biggest projects coming is the Lizzie McGuire reboot!
The new series picks up as Lizzie is just about to turn 30. 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.
Fans are dying to know if Lalaine Vergara-Paras will be reprising her role as Lizzie’s BFF Miranda Sanchez – and so are we!
While there’s been no official announcement yet, Hilary was recently asked if there’s anyone else returning to the cast.
Hilary stayed pretty tight lipped, responding, “I can’t tell you that!” but her tone of voice definitely sounds like she’s got something up her sleeve.
Make sure to check out the entire clip of Hilary on TMZ!
Other characters that could potentially make a return include Kate Sanders and Ethan Craft.
The Lizzie McGuire reboot is looking even better now – Adam Lamberg is set to reprise his role as Gordo in the Disney+ series.
If you don’t know Gordo was Lizzie’s best friend, whose intelligence, creativity and wry observations about middle school life made him a bit of an outcast – except to his inner circle of friends.
“Gordo was an essential piece of the puzzle to what made the original ‘Lizzie McGuire’ so authentic and beloved,” star and EP Hilary Duff shared about Adam‘s return. “I couldn’t imagine the series without him. I can’t wait for fans to see what he’s up to 15 years later and how he fits into Lizzie’s adult world.”
