Miley Cyrus is stepping back into one of pop culture’s most recognizable roles.
According to Variety, Disney+ has released the first trailer for the upcoming Hannah Montana 20th anniversary special, and it features the “Party in the USA” singer performing as Hannah Montana for the first time in roughly 15 years—marking a rare return to the character that launched her career.
The preview highlights Cyrus revisiting the iconic blonde-wig persona during the special, which is set to premiere on Disney+ on March 24. That date carries symbolic weight, marking exactly two decades since Hannah Montana debuted on Disney Channel.
The trailer also reveals glimpses of recreated set pieces, archival footage, and musical callbacks tied to the show’s original run.
The anniversary special arrives years after Cyrus publicly acknowledged the character’s lasting influence. In announcing the project, she said Hannah Montana remains deeply connected to her personal and professional journey.
“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,” Cyrus said. She added that celebrating the milestone is her way of recognizing the audience that has supported her for two decades.
Originally premiering in 2006, Hannah Montana quickly became one of Disney Channel’s defining series of the era. The show followed Miley Stewart, a Malibu teenager living a double life as global pop star Hannah Montana.
Over four seasons, the series drew strong ratings, earned four Primetime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Children’s Program, and expanded into films, concerts, and soundtrack albums.
The show’s cast included Emily Osment as Lilly Truscott and Mitchel Musso as Oliver Oken, Miley’s closest friends who eventually learn her secret. Billy Ray Cyrus appeared as Miley’s father and manager, Robby Ray Stewart, while Jason Earles played her brother Jackson, and Moisés Arias portrayed Rico Suave.
The series also featured a wide range of guest appearances from major entertainment figures, including Dolly Parton, Selena Gomez, the Jonas Brothers, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Kelly Ripa.
