LIZZIE MCGUIRE Adds Original Series Trio to Disney+ Revival

Hallie Todd, Robert Carradine, and Jake Thomas will reprise their LIZZIE MCGUIRE roles on the new Disney+ series, the streaming platform announced. (They played Jo, Sam and Matt McGuire, respectively.)

The trio join Hilary Duff, who is reprising her role of the title character. Original LIZZIE creator Terri Minsky is also onboard as showrunner.

“We are incredibly excited to bring back one of the most popular Disney Channel series of all time along with some beloved and familiar faces,” said Ricky Strauss, president, Content & Marketing, Disney+, in a statement. “With Terri at the helm and Hilary, Hallie, Robert, and Jake back after all these years, it’s our honor to welcome the McGuire family into the Disney+ family.”

“Just like there is no LIZZIE MCGUIRE without Hilary Duff, there is no McGuire family without Hallie, Robert, and Jake,” said Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer, Disney Channels Worldwide. “The original series holds a special place in the hearts of so many, and we can’t wait to introduce fans, both old and new, to an older, wiser, yet still perfectly imperfect Lizzie.”

Per Disney+, “The new story picks up as Lizzie McGuire is just about to turn 30. She seemingly has it all – her dream job as an assistant to a fancy New York City decorator, her dream guy and a picturesque Brooklyn apartment – but things aren’t always as they seem. With a little help from her friends, her loving family and her 13-year-old alter-ego in animated form, Lizzie navigates the ups and downs of adulthood.”
