The Hannah Montana 20th anniversary special will bring Miley Cyrus back to Disney+ on March 24, marking 20 years since the series first debuted on Disney Channel. Disney says the project is a retrospective celebration of the show’s legacy, with Cyrus returning to revisit the world that launched her career.
The newly released preview shows Cyrus stepping back into familiar spaces from the series, including recreated sets tied to the original show. It also confirms that the special was filmed in front of a live studio audience and will feature an in-depth interview hosted by Alex Cooper.

— Disney+ (@DisneyPlus) March 10, 2026For longtime fans, the biggest draw is seeing Cyrus reconnect with Hannah Montana in a more reflective way. Rather than a scripted reunion episode, the special is designed to look back at the series’ cultural impact and the bond it created with viewers.

Disney’s official description says the special will include behind-the-scenes stories and never-before-seen archival footage. The announcement also says Cyrus will revisit the show in front of a live audience, giving fans a closer look at how she sees the character and its place in her story now.
The March 24 release date is especially meaningful because it lands exactly two decades after the original series premiered in 2006. That timing turns the project into more than a nostalgia event. It positions the special as a milestone moment for both Cyrus and the generation that grew up with the show.
Disney has framed the event as a celebration of a series that defined a generation. As a result, the trailer’s emotional tone matters just as much as the return of the blonde wig, because it signals that Cyrus is embracing this chapter of her career again
