Inside the Canceled 'Lizzie McGuire' Reboot: Creator Reveals Unseen Plotlines and Character Fates

A former writer for the canceled "Lizzie McGuire" reboot recently offered fans a glimpse into the unproduced series, sharing intricate plot details and character developments that were set to unfold. In a candid Q&A session, the writer confirmed that Miranda, Lizzie's best friend, was planned to be a queer musician, with a storyline introducing her female partner. Regarding Lizzie herself, the reboot intended to portray her as an accomplished interior designer in New York, going by her full name, Elizabeth, as a symbol of her professional rebrand. The writer explained that the decision not to make Lizzie and Gordo an "endgame" couple stemmed from a desire for a more realistic portrayal of adult friendships and evolving relationships. "You grow up, and sometimes you move away from your best friends," he stated, emphasizing the characters' individual growth. The series also aimed to explore Lizzie's family dynamics upon her return home, revealing that her father had a minor heart attack, a detail kept from her during her time in New York. The production meticulously recreated original sets, including Lizzie's bedroom, and featured costumes that were "authentically Lizzie, but an adult version," with many sourced from a second-hand retailer. Hilary Duff, the show's star, was actively involved in the writers' room, sharing personal stories that influenced the episodes. The writer concluded by acknowledging the strong fan base and expressing hope for a future reboot, noting the fans' unwavering support.
