Lizzie McGuire was one of the Disney Channel's defining shows of the early 2000s, complete with a hit theatrical movie. Here's how to watch the series and film in the right order.

Hilary Duff starred as Lizzie McGuire, an awkward but lovable middle schooler whose inner thoughts were voiced by an animated version of herself. Alongside best friends Miranda and Gordo, annoying little brother Matt and rival Kate, Lizzie navigated crushes, school drama and growing up. The show's success led to The Lizzie McGuire Movie, which sent Lizzie to Rome.

πŸ• Release Order

Release order is straightforward, though the movie premiered while Season 2 episodes were still airing.

  1. Lizzie McGuire Season 1 (2001)
  2. Lizzie McGuire Season 2 (2002)
  3. The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003)

Even though some Season 2 episodes aired after the movie hit theaters, the film is designed as the conclusion to Lizzie's middle school years.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

In story order, the movie picks up as Lizzie and her friends graduate from junior high and head off on a class trip to Italy, so it belongs after the series.

  1. Lizzie McGuire Season 1 (2001)
  2. Lizzie McGuire Season 2 (2002)
  3. The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003) β€” junior high graduation trip to Rome

Which Order Should You Choose?

Watch Seasons 1 and 2 first, then finish with The Lizzie McGuire Movie. The film works as a finale, featuring Lizzie's big pop-star moment and Gordo's heartfelt storyline. A Disney+ revival was announced in 2019 and even began filming, but it was ultimately canceled, so the movie remains the official ending to Lizzie's story. If you're introducing younger viewers to the series, this simple order is all you need.
