LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Watch out, Miley — Hilary Duff is coming back to TV.

Hilary, who played Lizzie McGuire on the Disney Channel series of the same name, has signed a one-year development deal with NBC, Access Hollywood has learned.

The singer-actress will star in her own series, as well as make guest appearances on other NBC shows.

“Hilary is an incredibly versatile talent with a huge following whose career we know will continue to soar on NBC,” Teri Weinberg, Executive Vice President of NBC Entertainment told Access in a statement. “We are confident we will develop great ideas that would feature her vast talents and are thrilled to have this opportunity.”

Since leaving “Lizzie,” Hilary has acted in films, including “A Cinderella Story” and “Raise Your Voice,” and recorded several successful pop albums.
