We’re getting an Obi-Wan and a Gossip Girl remake, what’s more to want – well I guess this!
The D23 Expo is bringing out all the juicy gossip and it was announced that Lizzie McGuire is being shimmied into her colourful wardrobe once again for Disney+.
My inner 15-year-old fangirl is jumping off the walls right now. It seems like it was ages ago when Lizzie was dancing and singing in her room, but Hilary Duff is only in her early thirties. She’s currently killing it as badass Millennial imprint boss lady on Younger, singlehandedly making books hot again (not that their appeal ever went away for me).
We’re yet to find out who else of the cast would reprise their roles, but watching Lizzie take on the world of adulthood in New York sure sounds like fun.
Disney seems to be concocting a great little pot of shows to rival the likes of Netflix with its Friends poaching and ambitions Marvel and Star Wars spin-off plotting. I wonder what else they’ll come up with…
UPDATE
Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like the remake is going to happen just yet. As much as we all love the character, she cannot be the same girl she was 15 years ago. She needs to grow up. And perhaps the desire to go for a PG rating, so more people would buy Disney+ wasn’t the right way to go after all.
