'Lizzie McGuire' Reboot Cancelled Due to Mature Themes

Writer Reveals Lizzie's Adult Storylines Were Too Much for Disney+

The cancelled 'Lizzie McGuire' reboot would have featured mature themes, including Lizzie having a sexual relationship with her high school crush, Ethan Craft, according to writer Jonathan Hurwitz.
Hurwitz revealed that the first two episodes of the reboot were written and filmed, and the third was scripted, but not filmed.
In the reboot, Lizzie was to be a successful interior designer in New York, but after her boyfriend cheats on her, she moves back to California.
Lizzie's childhood friend, Gordo, is revealed to be happily engaged and expecting a child, dashing fans' hopes of a romantic reunion between the two characters.
The reboot was cancelled due to creative differences between Hilary Duff and Disney+ executives, with Duff wanting the show to reflect a more adult version of Lizzie McGuire.
