Hannah Montana has the best of both worlds, and Miley Cyrus is dusting off her blonde wig for the first time in 14 years.
The Hannah Montana series ran from 2006 to 2011 and was a massive success for Disney, which became a Disney Channel franchise worth over $1 billion, establishing Cyrus as a global superstar with a significant impact on 2000s pop culture. It was the network's most popular show, received multiple Emmy nominations, five studio albums, two tours, and a feature film.
Disney has unveiled the trailer for Hannah Montana's 20th Anniversary Special, featuring cameos from some fan-favorite stars, including Billy Ray Cyrus. The special is set to debut on Disney+ on March 24, which is exactly 20 years after Hannah Montana aired for the first time on Disney Channel. Fans will get to see never-before-seen footage, the show's sets and props, and some iconic moments from the series revisited by Cyrus.
Cyrus: "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."
The special will be filmed in front of a live studio audience and hosted by Call Her Daddy podcast host Alex Cooper. The original series followed a normal teenager named Miley Stewart living in Malibu, California, but she has a secret double life as the famous pop singer Hannah Montana. She has to balance her regular school life and friends with the life of a celebrity.
