The long-awaited Hannah Montana 20th anniversary special now has its first preview: Miley Cyrus returns wearing the iconic blonde wig.
Television nostalgia is making a powerful return. Disney+ has released the first images from the revival of Hannah Montana, the special created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series that turned Miley Cyrus into one of the most influential teen stars of the 2000s. The preview confirms what many fans had been hoping for over the years: Miley Cyrus once again transforms into Hannah Montana, wearing the famous blonde wig that defined the character. The special will premiere on Disney+ on 24 March 2026 and is already generating significant conversation among viewers who grew up with the show.
The project will follow a hybrid format that blends documentary storytelling with a television performance event. Part of the special will be filmed in front of a live audience, where Miley Cyrus will revisit key moments from her career and reflect on how Hannah Montana marked the beginning of her journey in both music and television.
The first images have also sparked excitement thanks to the recreation of some of the series’ most iconic locations. In the preview, viewers can see spaces such as Hannah Montana’s secret wardrobe room and the living room of the Stewart family home in Malibu, settings that became part of the collective memory of an entire generation.
Music from Hannah Montana will be one of the central elements of the special. During the programme, Miley Cyrus will perform acoustic versions of some of the show’s most memorable songs, including ‘The Best of Both Worlds’, ‘Nobody’s Perfect’ and ‘The Climb’. The preview also features a new version of ‘This Is the Life’, a track closely linked to the character’s early years.
The special will also include a strong family element. In the preview, Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish Cyrus, the singer’s parents, appear as part of the celebration. Both were involved in the original series and now return to take part in this television reunion marking two decades of Hannah Montana.
