The Lizzie McGuire reboot

There's more drama involved in the making of the Lizzie McGuire reboot than there is in the entire show itself.

In the latest series of events, original show creator Terri Minsky joined a video chat with the Lizzie McGuire writers.

So does this mean she's returned to the project? Here's what we know so far:

Late last year Disney Plus revealed they were working on a new version of the hit Disney Channel show.

After getting all our hopes up, Disney moved away from the project in January.

It's believed there was a disagreement between Minsky and Disney.

Sources told Variety that Minsky and lead actress Hilary Duff wanted a more adult version of the show.

Disney were initially on board with their approach but executives weren't happy with the content when on set.

They want the show to be more family friendly.

As a result, Variety say Minsky and her team were fired from the production.

A Disney spokesperson released a statement to the publication at the time;

'After filming two episodes, we concluded that we need to move in a different creative direction and are putting a new lens on the show.'

Zoom video call

Earlier this week, Minsky appeared in a Zoom video chat with the writers of the Lizzie reboot.

Those involved shared a screenshot of the chat to their respective Instagram Stories.

One writer captioned their post, 'Lizzie McGuire Reboot Bunch.'

Fans are now on a mission to find out if this virtual meeting had anything to do with the show.

Perhaps it was just a bunch of friends meeting up for a chat during isolation.

But it does look promising...
