A new showrunner has not been announced yet, reported Variety. “Fans have a sentimental attachment to ‘Lizzie McGuire’ and high expectations for a new series. 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,” a Disney spokesperson said in a statement to the publication.

Production on the revival has been put on hold as Disney searches for a new showrunner.

The show features original star Hilary Duff as the titular character dealing with the ups and downs of adulthood with a little help from her old friends, family, and her 13-year-old alter-ego in animated form.

Adam Lamberg, Hallie Todd, Robert Carradine, and Jake Thomas are also returning for the Disney Plus series.

The show was adapted into a feature in 2003 titled “The Lizzie McGuire Movie”.
