Transcript

00:00 "It starts in New York. Lizzie's been working and living there as an interior designer and

00:05 she's dating this very handsome chef." Getting the tea on the cancelled Lizzie McGuire reboot?

00:12 Now this is what dreams are made of. Three years after Hilary Duff confirmed the Disney

00:17 revival was no longer happening, writer Jonathan Hurwitz reveals on TikTok what it would've looked

00:24 like. "And she ends up finding that he's been cheating on her with her best friend. And so

00:29 she at the end of the pilot goes home to California to the home that we all saw on the

00:34 original show. And she's in her childhood bedroom where little animated Lizzie has been waiting for

00:42 her." Jonathan later clarifies Lizzie's childhood BFF Miranda was not the friend involved. And to

00:49 answer if Lizzie and Gordo are endgame... "You would have got an answer to that in episode two.

00:55 Lizzie meets up with Gordo, who she's just kind of been in touch with via text over the years

01:01 occasionally. And they meet up and Gordo reveals that he is engaged to a woman and she's pregnant

01:11 and they're really happy. So no, in this version, Lizzie and Gordo would not have ended up together."

01:17 Lizzie does, however, get a text from her childhood crush Ethan at the end of the episode.

01:23 And while episode three was never filmed, Jonathan still gives the deets on what was planned.

01:29 "Lizzie wakes up in Ethan's bed in his water polo t-shirt. And animated Lizzie pops up and she has

01:36 this little checklist, like a to-do list, and Ethan is on the list. And she checks it off and

01:43 I think she says something like, 'Well check that box.' Dramatic pause. Twice."

01:48 However, he makes it known the series would not have shown them having sex.

01:53 "Just Lizzie waking up in Ethan's shirt and then Ethan comes in

01:58 with freshly made coffee and they have this cute little catch up and Ethan says that he heard from

02:05 Gordo that Lizzie was in town and that's why he reached out. And he wants to hang again,

02:11 but she says she can't because she's flying home to New York."

02:15 E! News reached out to Disney+ for comment on the reboot's storylines, but has yet to hear back.

02:22 "We're not sure if we'll see a sequel to this, but we're hoping for a sequel."
