Lizzie McGuire Revival Is Canceled

by spaceotter42

“Lizzie McGuire” star Hilary Duff has revealed the planned series revival has been canceled and will not happen.

Two episodes of the series had been filmed and set to air on Disney+, but Lizzie creator and showrunner Terri Minsky was fired by Disney for the “adult” nature of the new show. Terri was also the creator and executive producer of Andi Mack. No episodes aired and no additional ones were filmed.

Hilary posted the following on Instagram, “I’ve been so honored to have the character of Lizzie in my life. She has made such a lasting impact on many, including myself. To see the fans’ loyalty and love for her, to this day, means so much to me.

“I know the efforts and conversations have been everywhere trying to make a reboot work but, sadly & despite everyone’s best efforts, it isn’t going to happen.

“I want any reboot of Lizzie to be honest and authentic to who Lizzie would be today. It’s what the character deserves. We can all take a moment to mourn the amazing woman she would have been and the adventures we would have taken with her.

“I’m very sad, but I promise everyone tried their best and the stars just didn’t align. Hey now, this is what 2020s made of.” (referring to a song from “The Lizzie McGuire Movie”).

Entertainment Spotlight: Sofia Wylie, Shook

If you’ve watched the Disney Channel recently, you probably recognize actress, singer, and dancer Sofia Wylie. She starred as Buffy Driscoll on the hit series Andi Mack for three seasons, plays the lead in Shook, the Disney Channel’s first original scripted series made exclusively for release on YouTube, and and will star in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series for Disney+, which is set to debut later this year. On the film side, she recently starred in Back Of The Net, which will premiere on Disney Channel later this month. This year, Wylie launched AIFOS, a production company that focuses on optioning and developing material that highlights strong female storylines that celebrate a diversity of cultures and experiences. Outside of acting and producing, she also writes and performs her own music and choreographs dance pieces for various platforms. Sofia took a few minutes out of her packed schedule to answer some of our questions. Check it out:

How would you describe Shook to a five year old?

Shook is about a 15 year old girl named Mia and the struggles she deals with at home, with her family, at school, and with dance. She loves dance with all of her heart, but it was something that was shared between her and her dad. Ever since her dad passed away she hasn’t been able to love it as much because it reminds her of her dad, which makes her sad. So she doesn’t want to open up about her sadness so she just pretends everything is fine all the time. Shook is about her journey to figure out how to finally deal with losing her dad.

What’s the funniest photo that you have on your phone right now (either share or describe it)?

This isn’t even a very funny photo but I just love these girls so much!! Sneak peek at some hair and makeup looks for Shook!

Do you have any interesting behind the scenes facts about the making of Shook?

It’s shot in locations all around Los Angeles! We shot in a real home for Mia’s house and Fredgy’s house. We shot in the arts district for all of the dance crew scenes and at an all boys school for the school scenes. This definitely made the vibe of the show feel a lot more grounded and real, because it was all shot in places that people are actually living.

If you were to come up with an alternate title for Shook, what would it be?

Body Language. I think this could be an alternate title for school because my character, Mia, struggles the most with communication. Dance is really the only way she knows and feels comfortable with expressing herself.

How did you prepare to play the role of Mia in Shook?

We had two weeks of scene study and dance rehearsals which gave me a lot of insight into who Mia is, who she has relationships with, and what those relationships mean to her. Knowing as much about her and her life, so that when I am on set I can truly just know her as well as I know myself. Putting myself in Mia’s shoes and fully becoming her became very difficult the farther into the story we got. This is because truly feeling the loss of her father as much as I could imagine someone would feel broke my heart. I felt all of that pain and grief. It was a struggle but to know that I could be helping people who are struggling with overcoming adversity like Mia is, made it all so worth it.

Do you have a dream role that you’d like to play one day?

Yes!!! I would love to be part of a historical drama, play a mermaid, superhero, or Eliza in Hamilton! All of these things characters or genres are my favorites!!! It would be an absolute dream to be part of a world like this.

Thanks so much, Sofia! Shook premieres on September 28th.

These photos were shown during the series finale ending credits montage and come from the cut 318 that was filmed for 5 days at Snuck Farm and required the use of adult extras aged 35-55 who had to be able to work all 3 days between Tuesday-Thursday. It was likely one of the most expensive eps of the season and is the only ep other than the series finale that featured the entire main and recurring cast members in the same episode and location with the notable exception of TJ. We may never get official confirmation on what happened in this ep but I think it’s likely that it was a vow renewal ceremony for Celia and Ham.

The outfits and set decorations are clearly for a wedding event and the age of the extras range from Bexie to Helia’s age. The working title for 3x17 was I Do Over and Ham was in that ep which would fit with him announcing to Bex and Bowie that he and Celia were renewing their vows and asking Bowie to be his best man just like Bowie had asked Ham to be his best man in the uncut version of 3x09 that aired in Australia. A Helia vow renewal would allow the show to have both the lavish wedding that makes for good TV and the low key wedding Bex always wanted. Vow renewals are a fairly common romantic trope though irl they’re often a sign of an impending marital collapse as couples use the spectacle of the ceremony to distract from long standing issues or to assuage guilt over an affair. Realistically the show wouldn’t have spent so much money on this ep unless the main focus was the Mack family and it would have provided an easy way for Celia and Bex to reconcile and for Bex to realize that she does really want to get married.

There’s one more small piece of evidence; in Something to Talk A-Boot, Andi talks with her parents about SAVA and it’s mentioned that SAVA only has a 5% acceptance rate and that Andi is worried that they won’t take the girl who makes lamps out of Cd’s. That only 5% of applicants getting in likely a reference to something we would have learned in the cut ep and the last time Cd lamps were mentioned was in 3x11 when Celia and Andi argued over whether Bex would want Andi’s Cd lamps as a wedding decoration. Celia asking Andi to make the decorations for her vow renewal would be a sweet gesture and tie in with Andi’s art. The A plot probably would have been great and 318 was likely one of the most visual stunning eps they filmed.

The B and C plots though probably would have been a mess. The Jamber plot in 3x17 would have ended with Amber storming out of Cyrus’ and with Machel sinking at the bowling alley. We know this because the Jamber breakup and the Muffy friendzoning scenes in 3x17 were re-shoots. So Amber would have known that Jonah was lying to her and roped Cyrus into it yet still gone as Jonah’s date and then only at the ceremony would Cyrus have apologized and Jamber sunk. And Marty agreed to go with Buffy and then would confirm that Rachel had broken up with him and that he no longer has feelings for Buffy and that Buffy needs to see a doctor. Indeed, the photo of Buffy in the dark looks like it may have been a still from a scene she had with Marty where he told her he didn’t like her anymore.

And it explains why TJ’s story line was written around this ep, Tyrus ends on a strained note in 3x15 and they kept TJ away for 4 eps before the re-shoots which is the longest they keep major love interests away for. Which makes sense since there’s no way Cyrus could ever have been allowed to bring TJ to a wedding since there’s no way to disguise that as just two guys being dudes. Although one darkly funny side effect of the Tyrus plot being written around the cut ep is that it was the only story line not affected by the re-shoots and was the only story line to actually turn out better to some extent thanks to the FBI’s good work.

It also fits with the shows timeline between eps 12-21 being only around 6ish weeks. Buffy says in 3x14 that the wedding was only weeks away and I think it’s likely that Celia just decided to have a vow renewal because she had already booked the Alpaca farm for the Bexie wedding and couldn’t get a refund on such short notice. 318 probably took place the weekend after 3x17 and then Something To Talk A-Boot is the following Monday since that’s Buffy’s first appearance with her boot.
