At
the
height
of
its
popularity,
Lizzie
McGuire
was
bringing
in
an
estimated
$100
million
on
merchandise
alone,
including
clothing,
a
book
series,
soundtracks
and
more.
It
was
the
Disney
Channel’s
highest
rated
and
most
successful
series
at
the
time,
averaging
2
million
viewers
per
episode
and
once
aired
seven
days
a
week
(with
ABC
also
airing
it
on
Saturday
mornings).

After
years
of
rumors
and
whispers,
Disney+
officially
announced
they
would
be
reviving Lizzie

in
August
2019,
with

reprising
her
iconic
role
and
the
show’s
creator
overseeing
the
streaming
series,
which
would
focus
on
a
30-year-old
Lizzie
navigating
life
in
New
York
City.

While
casting
was
initially
kept
under
wraps,
a
photo
from
the
first
table
read
revealed
the
original
McGuire
family
would
be
back
in
action,
with Hallie
Todd,
Robert
Carradine and

Thomas
all

But
bad
news
Lizzie
and
Gordo
shippers:
They
would
not
dating…at
least
not
when
the
revival
starts
as
Lizzie
is
engaged
to
someone
else,
though
Lamberg
was
slated
to
reprise
his
role. “I
feel
like
them
not
being
together
is
what
was
so
good…it’s
that
one
person
that
you’re
like, ‘Was
he
the
one?
Is
it
ever
going
to
be?'”
Duff
told
Vulture. “You’re
always
kind
of
wondering.
We
wanted
it
to
hurt
everyone
a
little
bit,
and
it’ll
continue
to
hurt.”
