Cast Of Lizzie McGuire: Where Are They Now?
Published on November 25, 2015.Lizzie McGuire holds a special place in the hearts of many people who grew up in the early 2000s and, while its run on TV wasn’t very long, it sure made its mark.

From 2001-2004, Lizzie McGuire ran for only two seasons but it was enough to spawn its own movie, and still inspire references today. Check out where the cast is now, 11 years after Lizzie McGuire went off the air.
