Two decades after Hannah Montana first premiered, Miley Cyrus is stepping back into the world that launched her career for a new anniversary event on Disney+.
The Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special will debut March 24, filmed before a live studio audience. The program includes an in-depth conversation between Cyrus and ‘Call Her Daddy’ host Alex Cooper, along with rare archival footage and recreated set pieces — including the Stewart family living room and the show’s signature closet transformation space.
To announce the special, Cyrus shared a nostalgic teaser featuring a purple “HM 20” license plate set to the show’s anthem, signaling a return to her Disney roots. The celebration arrives as Cyrus continues her music career, most recently contributing “Dream as One” to the latest Avatar film and marking new personal milestones.
The original series aired from 2006-2011, drawing an average of 4.4 million viewers per episode and becoming a defining show for a generation. Cyrus starred as Miley Stewart, a typical teenager balancing school and friendships while secretly living a double life as a global pop sensation. The franchise expanded into a 2008 concert film and a 2011 feature movie, while also producing multiple platinum and gold-selling albums worldwide.
Cyrus said in a statement: “Hannah Montana will always be a part of who I am. What started as a TV show became a shared experience that shaped my life and the lives of so many fans, and I’ll always be thankful for that connection. The fact that it still means so much to people all these years later is something I’m very proud of … This ‘Hannahversary’ is my way of celebrating and thanking the fans who’ve stood by me for 20 years.”
