In a Nov. 5 appearance on Jake Shane’s ‘Therapuss’ podcast, Hilary Duff reflected on the canceled Disney+ ‘Lizzie McGuire’ reboot — and teased what might have happened to Lizzie and Gordo.

“I think they just weren’t totally willing to go there,” she said in an appearance on Therapuss.
Even as she steps back into music with her new single, “Mature,” Hilary Duff — like her fans — is not quite over the Lizzie McGuire reboot that almost was.
In a Nov. 5 appearance on Jake Shane’s Therapuss podcast, Duff opened up about why the planned (and partially filmed) revival never made it to Disney+, and what she imagines Lizzie’s love life might have looked like two decades after the original series.
As you may remember, the Lizzie McGuire reboot was first announced in 2019. But in early 2020, original series creator Terri Minsky exited the project. “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 at the time.
That shift in direction never panned out, though.
