In the Disney+ clip, among the upcoming shows and movies was Lizzie McGuire. “Hi, it’s me,” Hilary, 32, said all smiles as she poked her head outside of a car window towards the end of the minute-long video. Though short, the segment was enough to get fans excited about the highly anticipated reboot.

This time around, according to IMDb, Lizzie has a different set of challenges. “Lizzie McGuire navigates life in New York City as a 30-year-old millennial while being engaged to a restaurant owner and working as an apprentice to a fancy decorator,” the site explained. Much like the 2001 series, Lizzie will have the 13-year-old cartoon version of herself breaking the fourth wall with quirky commentary.

A reboot for the Disney Channel series was originally announced in August 2019, after months of speculation since December 2018. “It feels very surreal, to be honest,” Hilary confessed to Entertainment Tonight shortly after the announcement.
