In what can only be seen as yet another blow for 2020, Hilary Duff has announced that the Disney+ Lizzie Maguire reboot will not be going ahead after all.

In a statement posted on Instagram, the star revealed that “efforts and conversations” to try and make the reboot work hadn’t come together – and that, despite her hopes for the series, the Disney+ revival of the show would no longer be happening.

“I’ve been so honoured to have the character of Lizzie in my life,” the statement began. “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 and despite everyone’s best efforts, it isn’t going to happen.”
