Over the weekend, the Disney Chanel confirmed they are bringing back the all-time classic showLizzie McGuireand…thisreally iswhat dreams are made of.

Hilary Duff, who is set to reprise the role of Lizzie McGuire, shared the news on Instagram. “SURPRISE!!!,” she wrote. “I’ve been trying to contain this excitement for a loooong time while this has been in the works!”

With Duff now 31 years old, the show will see Lizzie all grown up and working her dream job as an apprentice decorator in New York City. “I am beyond excited to be home again, back with my girl …and into her 30s,” Duff said on Instagram.

While we wait to find out if Lizzie’s bffs Miranda and Gordo will return in the show, we did some digging to see what the cast have been up to since the show wrapped up in 2004.

Lizzie

Granted, Hilary Duff hasn’t really left our radars since the show ended, so she obviously didn’t require much ‘tracking down’.

AfterLizzie McGuire, she enjoyed a successful pop career (Beat of My Heartis still a banger), starred in several movies includingA Cinderella Story,Raise Your Voice,The Perfect ManandCheaper By The Dozenand even released her own fragrance.

(It was called ‘With Love’ and was released at the same time as her songWith Love,which featured advertising for the fragrance in its film clip – genius.)

She also had a clothing line – Stuff, by Hilary Duff, which was sold at Kmart and Target.

Currently, she plays a supporting role as Kelsey Peters inYoungerand 10 months ago gave birth to her second child with fiance Matthew Koma.

She also has a seven-year-old son Luca with ex-husband Mike Comrie.

Miranda

Lizzie’s bff was played by Lalaine Vergara, who’s 32 now.

Adding to the unfortunate list of corrupted Disney starlets, Lalaine had a run-in with the law when she was 20 and spent a short time in rehab.

In July 2007, Lalaine was reportedly arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine, to which she pleaded guilty after missing her initial court date. She received no jail time and her record was wiped clean after court-ordered drug treatment.

She seems to have turned things around now. Her Instagram bio – “People tell me I look like this girl that used be on that show” – heads a feed full of edgy travel pics taken all over the world.

Other than travel, Lalaine has spent her post-Lizziedays singing, songwriting, and playing bass for bandVanity Theft.

She’s had a few small movie and TV roles, too – you may remember she made a brief appearance inEasy Aas a gossipy teen.

She also shared this throwback post in 2016 which we love too much:

Gordo

Adam Lamberg, who played Gordo, is no longer acting and is a bit of a social media ghost…

But we found him. He’s the development officer at the Irish Arts Centre in New York City now, and he looks like this:

Gordo?

We also tracked down his work's Instagram page because we're creepy like that:
