How to Watch "Lizzie McGuire" In Australia (Because the OG Show Isn't on Disney+)

This is what dreams aren't made of.

Our nostalgia glands nearly burst back in October when it was revealed Hilary Duff had brought the gang back together for a Lizzie McGuire reboot on Disney+.

With Disney’s streaming service now available in Australia, we rushed to binge-watch the OG Lizzie series that aired on the Disney Channel between 2001 and 2004, to prepare for the new update.

Alas, it was nowhere to be found.

It turns out Lizzie McGuire is one of the rare chunks of content not available on Australia’s version of Disney+, despite it being included in the United States. (Gizmodo has a great rundown of what Australians are missing on Disney+ and what we get that the Americans don’t.)

However, don’t scream into your pillow just yet.

If you’re in Australia, you can stream both seasons of Lizzie McGuire on Stan. For some reason, our local streaming service still holds the streaming rights to Lizzie, despite Disney having yanked the rest of their films and TV shows in time with the launch of Disney+.

If you just want to watch The Lizzie McGuire Movie, you’ll at least be able to find that on Disney+.

And if you want to watch all of these, including the upcoming reboot set in the lead-up to Lizzie’s 30th birthday (not yet dated for release), but you don’t want to have to subscribe to multiple streaming services, well…
