Cast

Production

In June 2025, Miley Cyrus, who starred in the 2006 Disney Channel teen sitcom Hannah Montana , started teasing plans about celebrating its 20th anniversary. Lated, she admitted that there were no plans at the time, but she was trying to convince Disney to prepare something. In December 2025, Charlie Andrews of Disney Branded Television started developing the idea. Production began in January 2026. The series's set was recreated at the Sunset Gower Studios. Cyrus's mother, Tish Cyrus-Purcell, brought out outfits, fan letters and scrapbooks from the archives. Cyrus recruited Alex Cooper, a fan of the series, to host the special. Cooper came up with the idea of opening it with the shot of Cyrus driving from Malibu to the soundstage. Since Cyrus didn't want to replicate the wig she wore in the series, she dyed her hair and styled it with bangs instead. [1]

The special was filmed in February 2026. [1] It featured guest appearances by Tish Cyrus-Purcell, Billy Ray Cyrus, Cyrus' father who also starred in Hannah Montana, Selena Gomez, who was a guest star, and Chappell Roan. [2] Gomez's appearance was arranged by Cooper as a surprise for Cyrus on set. [1] The taping also included a live performance by Cyrus with invited fans in the audience. She performed "This Is the Life" and "The Best of Both Worlds" from Hannah Montana, as well as "The Climb" from Hannah Montana: The Movie . [3] She recorded a new song titled "Younger You" for the special, and also performed it live. [4]

On February 17, 2026, the special was announced by Disney. It was produced by HopeTown Entertainment and Unwell Productions. Ashley Edens served as showrunner, with Cyrus, Cyrus-Purcell, Cooper and Matt Kaplan as executive producers. [5]

Release and marketing

On March 17, 2026, the special's trailer was released. [6] On March 23, 2026, the special's premiere was held at El Capitan Theatre, featuring appearances by Cyrus and recurring cast members Jason Earles, Moisés Arias, Shanica Knowles, Anna Maria Perez de Tagle, Cody Linley, and David Archuleta. [7] Emily Osment, who portrayed Lilly Truscott in the series opposite Cyrus, did not appear on the event; she later explained that this was due to her commitments to the sitcom Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage . [8]
