Eve and Casey are all grown up, and the sequel to the Disney classic Life-Size is on its way to a small screen near you!

In the first movie, which premiered on ABC's The Wonderful World of Disney all the way back in 2000, supermodel Tyra Banks plays Eve, a doll brought to life by Casey (Lindsay Lohan) while trying to cast a spell to resurrect her mother.

Banks revamped the efforts to get a sequel produced and actually slid into Lohan's DMs to ask the actress to be a part of Life-Size 2.

"I slid into hers first, to be honest," Banks told BuzzFeed. "'Cause I was like, 'Yo, I'm producing Life-Size 2 are you down?' And she was like, 'I'm down to the down.' Like, she's so down! So, we're working on the script now and I'm telling the writer I don't want her to just have a cameo. I feel like she was just as important to Life-Size 1 as I was, so I want her to have a role, at least three or four scenes. I think she would play herself grown up—like, Casey in Life-Size grown up. So, we'll see!"

Banks confirmed Lohan's role on The Steve Harvey Show. "Lindsay Lohan will be in Life-Size 2, yes! I really, really want her to. We’re talking about it right now and she has got to come back! She has got to come back."

Life-Size 2 is headed to TV this winter on Freeform, but what should we expect from a sequel that's been 18-years coming?

"Life-Size is going to be different," said Banks. "So, if you were a little girl or little boy like, 'Oh my God, I love Eve. She's so cute,' and you have kids now, you might need to use a little parent discretion on whether they should be watching Life-Size 2 or not."
