From Variety:
In search of tweens

HOLLYWOOD -- Disney Channel is hooking up with the creators of its biggest franchises -- "Lizzie McGuire" and "That's So Raven" -- to produce more series for its core tween audience.

Cabler has teamed with "Lizzie" creator-exec producers Terri Minsky and Stan Rogow for a half-hour "Lizzie" spinoff dubbed "Stevie Sanchez." Series follows the ups and downs of Lizzie's best friend's sister, Stephanie "Stevie" Sanchez, and her Latino family.

Project reps the first TV offshoot of "Lizzie," which halted production in December 2002 soon after which series star Hilary Duff deemed it so yesterday. While the skein still does solid ratings in repeats, "Stevie" would give Disney a fresh dose of "Lizzie"-related programming.

"Stevie" will focus on the 12-year-old character, first introduced in "Lizzie" via her older sister Miranda (played by Lalaine), who often feels like an outsider in her own family. Stevie's internal thoughts will be articulated by an animated alter ego.

Wow! :eek: That's awesome! :D Thanks for the info Angela! :D

That sounds a bit odd. Who cares about Miranda's 12 year old sister and her family?

Furthurmore, Miranda's sister was a baby during the Lizzie series, so how is she 12 years old all of a sudden?

Furthurmore, Miranda's sister was a baby during the Lizzie series, so how is she 12 years old all of a sudden? Its called updating......They do it with alot of shows example step by step in 1996 Carol had Lily and the next year Lily was already 5....

Another example Days of Our lives... Belle was 5 at Marlena and John's wedding.....

Marlena goes away for a bit and in 1999 she returns and Belle is 13 when she was 5 like two years before I think.....

So they update it........Mel :cool:

Hopefully it will be more sitcom than LM was

Wow! Cool news! Thanks!

It'll be interesting to see the spinoff of Miranda's tween sister. And wasn't she mentioned as a baby at one point? I wonder if Miranda will be shown, or if the writers will make this the future (supposing the baby is grown years later) with Miranda's whereabouts being in college or as an adult? Hmmm...

BTW, when will it come out?

Don't know yet. Maybe soon.:)

Anymore news on this?

I'd rather see a spin off based on Lizzie’s brother blah I never liked Lizzie's best friend especially since her friend ditched her in one episode to be popular. I wonder if Matt will at least guest star since I think there the same age or at least was the same age do to the year gap between the shows. Sorry big Matt fan, I miss him and want to see a show around his character and that girl he hung around with.

Anymore news on this?
Lalaine has said that she appears in it

When does this spinoff air?

I don't see why people really care about Miranda's sister. If she was a baby during the show she wouldn't be about Matts age. How could Miranda be in it since more time has gone by in the show then in real life.
