Miley Cyrus is revisiting one of the most iconic roles in pop culture.
According to Variety, Disney+ has unveiled the first trailer for the upcoming Hannah Montana 20th anniversary special. The preview shows the “Party in the USA” singer performing as Hannah Montana for the first time in about 15 years, marking a rare return to the character that first propelled her to stardom.
The preview shows Cyrus stepping back into the iconic blonde-wig persona for the special, which is set to premiere on Disney+ on March 24. The date is especially meaningful, marking exactly 20 years since Hannah Montana first premiered on Disney Channel.
The trailer also teases recreated set pieces, throwback footage, and musical moments that nod to the show’s original run.
Disney confirmed the special will be filmed in front of a live studio audience and will feature a sit-down interview with Cyrus conducted by podcast host Alex Cooper from Call Her Daddy.
The anniversary event comes years after Cyrus spoke about the lasting impact the character had on her life. While announcing the project, she shared that Hannah Montana remains closely tied to both 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 also noted that celebrating the milestone is her way of honoring the audience that has supported her for two decades.
First debuting in 2006, Hannah Montana quickly became one of the most defining shows of the Disney Channel era. The series followed Miley Stewart, a Malibu teenager secretly living a double life as global pop star Hannah Montana.
Across four seasons, the series pulled in strong ratings, received four Primetime Emmy nominations for Outstanding Children’s Program, and expanded into movies, concert tours, and several soundtrack albums.
The cast featured Emily Osment as Lilly Truscott and Mitchel Musso as Oliver Oken, Miley’s best friends who eventually discover her secret. Billy Ray Cyrus played Miley’s father and manager, Robby Ray Stewart, while Jason Earles starred as her brother Jackson, and Moisés Arias appeared as Rico Suave.
The show also welcomed numerous guest stars from across the entertainment world, including Dolly Parton, Selena Gomez, the Jonas Brothers, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and Kelly Ripa.
