But don’t worry, the show is still on its way.
We are living in the era of the reboot, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to slow down any time soon.
Popular movies and TV shows are being remade left, right and center, and one of those TV shows is Lizzie McGuire.
We went into a bit of a nostalgia overload when the news was announced that a reboot would be coming to new streaming service Disney+, but sadly there has been a bit of a setback.
Creator of the original series Terri Minsky is stepping aside as showrunner of the series, as the show attempts to move in a different creative direction.
A Disney spokesperson issued a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, saying: “Fans have a sentimental attachment to Lizzie McGuire and high expectations for a new series. 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.”
The original Lizzie McGuire ran from 2001 to 2004 on Disney Channel and starred Hilary Duff as a teenager, but the reboot looks set to follow the same character as she makes her way through adulthood.
The revival will also feature several other cast members reprising their roles, including Adam Lamberg (as Gordo), Hallie Todd (Jo McGuire), Robert Carradine (Sam McGuire) and Jake Thomas (Matt McGuire).
Disney+ is coming to Ireland on 31 March.
