“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,” a Disney spokesperson said in a statement to Deadline.
Minsky’s overall deal with Disney Channel will continue, sources say, and more projects are planned under that pact.The show is not in production this week, as star Hilary Duff is on her honeymoon, we hear. In the reimagined version of the sitcom, a sequel to the 2001 Disney Channel series, Lizzie McGuire is a 30-year-old millennial navigating life in New York City. Like the original series, it was to include the familiar animated version of a young Lizzie who offers up funny, revealing commentary on what 30-year-old Lizzie is really thinking.
