Following last week’s revelation that Lizzie McGuire would have hooked up with longtime crush Ethan Craft in the now-cancelled Disney+ revival, rabid fans had even more burning questions. Specifically, what about Lizzie’s Bff Miranda?

The reboot of popular 2000s Disney Channel sitcom Lizzie McGuire was cancelled. Now, one of its writers has revealed a few new details about its plot.
Hilary Duff was a huge star among pre-teens in the early 2000s thanks to her portrayal of the eponymous character in Disney Channel sitcom Lizzie McGuire – and its subsequent movie.
The show followed the awkward, klutzy teen as she navigated life, school with best friends Gordo and Miranda, played by Adam Lamberg and Lalaine. There was also her family – her younger brother Matt, played by Jake Thomas, and her embarrassing parents, played by Hallie Todd and Robert Carradine – whose brother David appeared in one episode as a mentor to Matt when he made his own kung fu film.
One memorable aspect of the show was the frequent use of an animated version of Lizzie, which represented her inner monologue. The show’s popularity led...

More than two years after dreams of a Lizzie McGuire revival were dashed, Hulu’s How I Met Your Father is revisiting the iconic Disney Channel property via flashback.
During Tuesday’s episode, appropriately titled “A Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Valentine’s Day,” Sophie & Co. recount their worst Valentine’s Day experiences in order to cheer up Ellen. What follows are glimpses from the gang’s past — all newly created except for one. Rather than hire a teenage actress to play 13-year-old Sophie, the series cuts to a clip from Hilary Duff’s early-aughts sitcom.

Twenty years ago, tween-girl cinema thrived. Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan, and Amanda Bynes kicked off the junior rom-com eras -- bringing their Disney and Nickelodeon fans along for the ride. Big-screen coming-of-age stories, family sagas, and whimsical made-for-television movies defined youth culture in 2003. Pop music became more accessible to children. Bright colors and Y2K fashion arrived in full force. Kids were paying attention to the media and products advertised to them.
As a person who turned nine in '03, I vividly remember this era of family films. They were hopeful, playful, and rife with young characters seeking adventures. I'll never forget when my sister and I saw our first movies on DVD instead of VHS: "The Lizzie McGuire Movie" and "What a Girl Wants." For millennial fans, Hilary Duff's Italian excursion has been on repeat as a literal soundtrack of our lives. Amanda Bynes' British battle of the debutantes sharpened our rebellious side.

Looking back, Jake Thomas should've said "Nope!" to working with one Lizzie McGuire co-star. The former Disney Channel star revealed that he found himself connecting with the chimp attack scene from Jordan Peele's newest Universal Pictures film Nope. Why? Well, because he too worked with a chimpanzee during his child star days. "I'm not gonna give anything away," he said in a TikTok from Aug. 8, "but there's a side story in the movie that deals with this chimpanzee that stars in a TV sitcom, that goes berserk, and it kills a bunch of its castmates. And the entire time I was watching it, I couldn't stop thinking of a memory from long ago: Remember Fredo?...

Are you ready for a dose of childhood nostalgia? On Wednesday, March 9, Lizzie McGuire star Jake Thomas took to TikTok to share a video that saw him recreate his childhood dance moves from one particularly iconic scene in the 2003 film The Lizzie McGuire Movie. In the video, Jake—who played Lizzie's witty and lovingly annoying younger brother Matt McGuire in the Disney Channel series and its movie adaptation—shows a clip of his younger self dancing along to Lizzie's (played by Hilary Duff) performance of "This Is What Dreams Are Made Of" at the end of the film. Then, the video cuts to present day, where Jake, now 32,...

It's been 20 years since Lizzie McGuire aired its "Night of the Day of the Dead" episode, but chances are viewers can still recall feeling scared of the skeleton couple that haunted Lizzie, Gordo, Miranda and Kate. And, if we're being honest, there's still something a bit spooky about that particular episode—even Lizzie's dad, Robert Carradine, thinks the kids' show was scary for the time. Robert, Hallie Todd, Jake Thomas and Kyle Downes, a.k.a. Tudgeman, joined E! News on a Zoom call to discuss that iconic episode, sharing the gross and heartwarming memories they have from filming the show in 2000. But seeing as it's been two decades since...

"He's tried to get out before... I thought I left it closed..." Freestyle Digital Media has debuted the adorable official trailer for an indie adventure titled Shedding, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Jake Thomas. This "gentle, heartwarming fantasy" is about a bored house cat who longs to explore the world outside of his living room. After he mysteriously transforms into a human, he escapes and is taken in by a kindhearted mother. It's kind of a flip on the "person turns into animal" concepts (see: Nine Lives) that we usually get. Shedding stars Lex Quarterman as The Cat, plus Karla Droege and Jacquelyn Zook. This looks quite amusing and a bit cheesy, but that's the point. And ultimately, I think it will end up reminding us of the value of friendship and kindness and unconditional love, as animals often do just by being around. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Jake Thomas' Shedding,...

Lizzie McGuire is the first "cool" show I remember watching as a kid. I didn't have an older sister to teach me about fashion or relationships or bras (you know exactly which episode I'm talking about). That's why Lizzie, and by extension Hilary Duff, became an icon to me and so many girls. I looked up to Lizzie as an example of what it means to be a good friend, daughter, sister, and overall person.
Fast forward nearly 20 years later, and I got the chance to chat with Duff as part of her partnership with beverage brand Creative Roots. No, I didn't tell her about my "What Dreams Are Made Of" moment at my bachelorette party or the Isabella costume I almost ordered for Halloween in college. Instead, I asked the question that's on every early '00s kid's mind right now: what's going on with the Disney+ reboot?

After decades published by Dark Horse Comics, the Aliens and Predator comic franchises are joining Marvel according to an announcement today. Creative teams haven’t been announced, but the company did release promotional art of both the titular monsters by artist David Finch (Eisner winning artist of Batman). The new books are set to arrive in 2021.
“Alien and Predator are the two of the most identifiable, iconic characters of all time, and I love them for that,” Finch told IGN. “But mostly, it’s being fortunate enough to be a kid when they were new. I’ve seen every movie they’ve ever been in, and I cannot wait to see them wreaking havoc in the Marvel Universe. I drew my pictures of them with a massive smile on my face.”

In a statement on Instagram Friday, Hillary Duff called on Disney to move the planned “Lizzie McGuire” revival from Disney+ to Hulu.
The series, a revival of the Disney Channel sitcom that launched Duff’s career, was put on hiatus last month after showrunner Terri Minsky exited the series over creative differences with the streamer. Minsky explained her exit in a recent interview with Variety, saying that her plan to make the show more “mature” didn’t fit with the family-friendly Disney+ brand.
Duff’s post backed Minsky’s original vision, suggesting that Disney should move the show to sister streaming network Hulu where it wouldn’t run up on the same content restrictions. The “Love, Simon” spinoff series “Love, Victor” recently made the same jump for much the same reasons.

Disney Plus does not seem to be figuring it out on the way when it comes to the “Lizzie McGuire” revival.
Production on the show halted in January after the firing of original series creator and revival showrunner Terri Minsky after just two episodes were completed. Her unceremonious exit has led many industry insiders to speculate that the revival will not move forward.
Series star Hilary Duff has remained mostly mum on the subject, but she has made her feelings known in some not-so-subtle ways. Late Tuesday night, Duff posted a screenshot to her Instagram story of a news headline about the planned Disney Plus “Love, Simon” series. Now titled “Love, Victor,” the show was moved this week to Hulu after it was deemed not “family-friendly” enough for the Disney-branded streamer.

In her post, Duff circled the words “family-friendly” in the headline and wrote above it “Sounds familiar.”

Little has been said about the Lizzie McGuire revival since it emerged that original creator Terri Minskey was bowing out of the Disney+ series after filming just two episodes, with the series going on hiatus.
Now, it seems like Hilary Duff is speaking out about the issues surrounding the revival of the beloved series.
Earlier this week, Love Victor -- an upcoming sequel to the 2018 movie Love, Simon -- was revealed to be moving from Disney+ to Hulu.
While no official reason was given, multiple outlets reported that it was in relation to the content of the show, with it featuring themes that were allegedly too mature for Disney+.
Duff took to Instagram, sharing the headline with the following caption:

Hilary Duff is (sort of) speaking out about the problems surrounding her postponed Lizzie McGuire revival.
Before we dive in, here’s some context: Earlier this week, it was announced that Love, Victor — an upcoming series based on the 2018 gay rom-com Love, Simon — is relocating from Disney+ to Hulu. Multiple reports indicated that the move was made because Love, Victor‘s mature themes, including sexual exploration and drinking, feel more at home on an adult-oriented streaming service like Hulu.

Following on the heels of news that Joe Kelly and Chris Bachalo will be teaming up to deliver Non-Stop Spider-Man, Marvel Comics have now released a trailer for the forthcoming seventh volume of their Spider-Woman series, to be written by Karla Pacheco, who contributed a Night Nurse story to Fearless #2, and illustrated by Pere Pérez, who drew the five-issue Rogue & Gambit miniseries.
Unrelated to her similarly-named wall-crawling counterpart in Queens, the Transian superhero developed her powers after her father, geneticist Jonathan Drew, administered an experimental serum made from a combination of blood samples from various uncommon spider species in an attempt to cure her of Uranium poisoning before sealing her in a genetic accelerator created by his partner, Herbert Wyndham

There are changes at the wheel of the Disney+ revival of Lizzie McGuire.
Variety is reporting that original series creator Terri Minsky is stepping away from her showrunner and executive producer role on the highly anticipared series.
“Fans have a sentimental attachment to Lizzie McGuire and high expectations for a new series,” a Disney spokesperson explained.
“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.”
Creative differences are not uncommon when shows are early into production, but losing the showrunner and executive producer this early is not a good sign.
Minsky steered the TV series during its original 2001-04 Disney Channel run, so her exit this early into the process is surprising.

Lizzie McGuire is returning to our TV screens, and we couldn't be more pumped. In August, it was announced that Disney+ would be rebooting the beloved Disney Channel franchise for a brand-new series that follows a 30-year-old Lizzie navigating life in NYC. Though an official release date hasn't been announced yet, it's likely we won't have to wait too long to be reunited with our teenage hero now that filming is officially underway.
Production for Disney+'s High School Musical: The Musical: The Series this year started on Feb. 15, and the first season was eventually released on Nov. 12. If Lizzie McGuire follows a similar filming schedule, that could put the release date sometime around July 2020.
Over the past few weeks, we've been getting even more exciting tidbits about the upcoming series. In addition to getting glimpses of Lizzie's new style during filming, there have been quite a few big casting announcements.

Our prayers have been answered, because Gordo is officially returning for the Lizzie McGuire reboot! On Wednesday, Disney+ announced that actor Adam Lamberg would be reprising his role as Lizzie's childhood best friend on the show. In the photo, Hilary Duff and Lamberg are all smiles as they sit at a table for two. Perhaps their characters are getting reacquainted after all this time apart?
While Gordo and Lizzie appeared to get together at the end of The Lizzie McGuire Movie, Duff recently confirmed that she is engaged to someone else in the reboot. "I feel like them not being together is what was so good [about the original series]," she told Vulture. "It's that one person that you're like, Was he the one? Is it ever going to be? You're always kind of wondering. We wanted it to hurt everyone a little bit, and it'll continue to hurt."

Looks like Lizzie McGuire's longtime crush on Ethan Craft might turn into something more. During an interview with E! News, Hilary Duff teased what will become of her character's love life in the upcoming Disney+ reboot. While Lizzie unfortunately doesn't end up with her childhood best friend, Gordo, she just might have a thing with her former classmate Ethan. "He is hot. He's very hot," Duff teased. "I'm pretty sure there's going to be, there's going to be a thing."
The new series picks up with Lizzie as a 30-year-old millennial living in New York City. In addition to having the dream job as an assistant to a decorator and a Brooklyn apartment, she also has a longtime boyfriend. Although, it's unclear if that guy is actually Ethan Craft.
So far, only Duff and the McGuire family - Jake Thomas, Hallie Todd, and Robert Carradine - have been confirmed for the reboot.

If you thought the news of a Lizzie McGuire revival was amazing enough, wait until you hear this: Disney+ is staging an all-out McGuire family reunion! The streaming service announced that three original cast members will be joining Hilary Duff in reprising their iconic roles - Hallie Todd, Robert Carradine, and Jake Thomas.
In case you need a little refresher, Todd played Jo, the McGuire matriarch, alongside Carradine, who brought us the earnestly loving family patriarch, Sam. Thomas was the infamously devious Matthew (Matt) McGuire, who did everything he could to ruin his big sister's life. Hopefully, he'll have grown out of that phase, since the revival takes place a few decades after the original series ended.
According to the revival's official synopsis, the show picks back up with Lizzie just as she's about to turn 30. She seemingly has it all - the dream job as an assistant to a New York City decorator,...
