Miley Cyrus has been hinting at something big for the 20th anniversary of the series that launched her into global stardom and shaped an entire generation. Now, Disney has dropped the first teaser for what appears to be a special anniversary event for Hannah Montana—and the nostalgia is hitting hard.
The teaser is short—under 30 seconds—but powerful: a mannequin wearing the iconic blonde wig as ‘The Best of Both Worlds’ plays in the background. The show, which became a defining piece of 2000s pop culture, is officially back on the radar, sparking major hype among longtime fans. It was also notably featured in the final moments of the Disney Channel era.
While the teaser doesn’t reveal any specifics, one thing is clear: something big is coming in 2026. That’s when the show will mark 20 years since its debut on March 24, 2006. A milestone that’s impossible to ignore for anyone who grew up with Disney’s version of Miley Cyrus.

What Could the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Look Like?
Fans have speculated that it could be anything from a Disney+ special, to a musical session in Miley’s signature Backyard Sessions format, or even a virtual reunion with the original cast.
For years, Miley was unable to perform songs from the Hannah Montana era due to legal restrictions. But now, having been officially honored as a Disney Legend, she finally has the freedom to revisit that part of her career.
Still, if anyone’s hoping for a full-blown anniversary tour, it’s probably not happening. The singer has spoken candidly about the physical and emotional challenges that come with touring, which is one of the reasons she hasn’t hit the road since releasing her latest album.

However, a more intimate event or digital experience remains a very real—and exciting—possibility. With no confirmed details yet, anticipation continues to grow. What’s clear is that this milestone means a lot—not just to fans, but to Miley herself.
All signs point toward a nostalgic, meaningful, and carefully curated celebration that may live online but still deliver all the heart and magic of the original series.
