The original series, about a girl whose thoughts are expressed by her animated doppelganger, aired from 2001 to 2004 on the Disney Channel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWas incredibly excited to launch `Lizzie&#8217; on D+ and my passion remains,\u201d Duff said in her post Friday. \u201cHowever, I feel a huge responsibility to honour the fans&#8217; relationship with Lizzie who, like me, grew up seeing themselves in her. I&#8217;d be doing a disservice to everyone by limiting the realities of a 30-year-old&#8217;s journey to live under the ceiling of a PG rating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The original series was an authentic portrayal of Lizzie as a preteen and teenager, Duff said, and her next chapters should be \u201cas real and relatable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Production on the reboot was suspended in January after the exit of showrunner and original series creator Terri Minsky, trade publication Variety has reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe paused production on `Lizzie McGuire&#8217; a few weeks ago to allow time for some creative re-development,\u201d Disney said in a statement provided Saturday. \u201cOur goal is to resume production and to tell an authentic story that connects to the millions who are emotionally invested in the character, and a new generation of viewers too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an earlier Instagram post, Duff hinted at the Hulu streaming channel that&#8217;s under the Disney company umbrella as an alternative to the family friendly Disney Plus. Her post last Tuesday highlighted a news report about the Disney Plus series \u201cLove, Victor,\u201d inspired by the coming-of-age movie \u201cLove, Simon,\u201d that&#8217;s moving to Hulu.<\/p>\n<p>Duff made a stronger pitch Friday, posting, \u201cIt would be a dream if Disney would let us move the show to Hulu, if they were interested, and I could bring this beloved character to life again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Minsky told Variety that she was proud of the two episodes that had been done before production was halted and said she favoured a move to Hulu and \u201cdoing the show that we were doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View this post on Instagram Lizzie McGuire A post shared by Hilary Duff (@hilaryduff) on Feb 28, 2020 at 4:52pm &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":246645,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,106],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-246643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","category-hollywood","mauthors-the-associated-press"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246643"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246643\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":246646,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246643\/revisions\/246646"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/246645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
