The upcoming Lizzie McGuire reboot will be bringing back another original cast member to the new show: Adam Lamberg is set to reprise his role as Gordo!
This Lizzie McGuire reboot is truly pandering to all us millennials and I love it for that.
Hilary Duff had already previously announced that the original McGuire family would be joining the reboot, and now it looks like another one of the more integral pieces to the original show will be returning as well.
Hilary Duff dropped an on-set video earlier today which reunited her with everyone’s favorite wry BFF, Adam Lamberg’s Gordo.
Check out the announcement video below!
“Gordo was an essential piece of the puzzle to what made the original Lizzie McGuire so authentic and beloved,” said Hilary Duff star and executive producer of the series. “I couldn’t imagine the series without him. I can’t wait for fans to see what he’s up to 15 years later and how he fits into Lizzie’s adult world.”
The new story picks up as Lizzie McGuire is just about to turn 30. She seemingly has it all — her dream job as an assistant to a fancy New York City Interior Designer, her dream guy and a picturesque Brooklyn apartment — but things aren’t always as they seem. With a little help from her old friends and some new ones to come, her well-meaning family and her 13-year-old alter-ego in animated form, Lizzie navigates the ups and downs of adulthood.
As previously announced, also reprising their roles are: Hilary Duff as Lizzie McGuire, Hallie Todd as Jo McGuire, Robert Carradine as Sam McGuire and Jake Thomas as Matt McGuire.
Original Lizzie McGuire series creator Terri Minsky returns as showrunner and executive producer. Hilary Duff and Rachel Winter will also executive-produce, along with Ranada Shepard. Lizzie McGuire is produced by Salty Pictures, Inc. in association with Disney Channel.
