One of the shows that Disney+ planned on reviving from the Disney Channel was Lizzie McGuire and Hilary Duff had signed up to star in it.

The streamer had fans excited to see what Lizzie and her animated alter ego were up to after all these years. However, things took a steep turn when the creator of the series Terri Minsky exited the reboot.

Hesitant to answer Cohen about “the main sticking point” for the show not getting picked up, she said, “Disney+ was very new and I think they were figuring out their… and we were figuring out our… and I am optimistic.” Watch the moment in the video posted below.A post shared by Watch What Happens Live!
