Get a First Look at the Lizzie McGuire Reboot With These Behind-the-Scenes Photos

If you thought the news of a Lizzie McGuire revival [1] was amazing enough, wait until you hear this: Disney+ is staging an all-out McGuire family reunion! The streaming service announced that three original cast members [2] will be joining Hilary Duff [3] in reprising their iconic roles — Hallie Todd, Robert Carradine, and Jake Thomas.

In case you need a little refresher, Todd played Jo, the McGuire matriarch, alongside Carradine, who brought us the earnestly loving family patriarch, Sam. Thomas was the infamously devious Matthew (Matt) McGuire, who did everything he could to ruin his big sister's life. Hopefully, he'll have grown out of that phase, since the revival takes place a few decades after the original series ended.

According to the revival's official synopsis [4], the show picks back up with Lizzie just as she's about to turn 30. She seemingly has it all — the dream job as an assistant to a New York City decorator, her dream guy, and a picturesque Brooklyn apartment — but things aren't 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."
