Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special is set to air on Disney+ on March 24
Miley Cyrus returned to the set of Hannah Montana in the first trailer for the forthcoming Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special. The special is set to air on Disney+ on March 24, 20 years to the day that the show premiered on Disney Channel.
In the clip, Cyrus can be seen visiting some of the series’ recreated sets, with her mother, Tish Cyrus. “I’m already getting emotional,” she notes. Cyrus’ dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, who played her father in Hannah Montana, also make an appearance. “This feels like home to me,” Cyrus says while sitting in the recreated family living room from the show.
Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special was filmed in front of a live studio audience and hosted by Alex Cooper. It features an in-depth interview with Cyrus, as well as never-before-seen archival footage. “This show defined your generation,” Cooper says in the trailer. Cyrus responds, “This anniversary is for them. It’s for us.”
Disney announced the special last month. At the time, Cyrus said, “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.”

Disney seemed to hint that Cyrus might perform some old Hannah Montana tracks, too, with the press release reading: “There will also be some familiar notes that find their way back into the spotlight.” Some of Hannah’s biggest hits were “Nobody’s Perfect,” “Supergirl,” and “If We Were a Movie.”
Hannah Montana ran for four seasons, from 2006 to 2011. Over the years it featured numerous guest stars, including Dolly Parton, the Jonas Brothers, and Selena Gomez.
