Just like Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus will always find her way back home.
Streaming Tuesday, March 24, on Disney+ and Hulu, the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special will celebrate the iconic Disney Channel series that defined a generation — and later led to Cyrus being named the youngest-ever Disney Legend.
“Hannah Montana is the beginning for everything that I’ve been able to become — the person that I’ve been able become,” Cyrus said in an exclusive interview at the Disney Legend Awards Ceremony in 2024. “She is such a part of me and taught me everything that I know.”
Cyrus added that she was “honored” to be named a Disney Legend for her work in the series. “It’s all about the fans,” she said. “My favorite part of this event is that you can put faces to all these fans who are responsible for giving us this life and these opportunities. This is an incredible event to not just celebrate our work, but the fans and their part in it.”
After Hannah Montana premiered on Disney Channel in 2006, it became a global phenomenon, reshaping children’s television, influencing fashion and music, and launching a multiplatinum, GRAMMY®-winning superstar. The EmmyⓇ-nominated series Hannah Montana spawned 14 platinum and 18 gold albums worldwide, as well as two feature films — and now, Cyrus is going to revisit the moments, music, and memories that defined an era. Hosted by Alex Cooper, the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special features an exclusive, in-depth interview with Cyrus, who offers an intimate look at playing one of pop culture’s most iconic and enduring characters.
