Hold onto your wigs, because the ultimate nostalgia trip is officially here! Disney+ has just confirmed that a Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special is set to premiere on March 24, 2026.
Exactly two decades after Miley Stewart first stepped onto our screens and into our hearts in 2006, Miley Cyrus is returning to her roots. This milestone event isn't just a celebration of a TV show; it’s a tribute to the "Hannahversary" of a cultural phenomenon that paved the way for the fictional musical icons we love today.
Before Huntrix, There Was Hannah
In 2026, the world is buzzing about Huntrix, the fierce trio from Netflix’s K-Pop: Demon Hunters who recently made history as the first fictional female K-Pop group to snag a Top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with their anthem "Golden." But long before Rumi, Mira, and Zoey were balancing idol life with demon hunting, there was a girl from Tennessee leading a double life that defined a generation.
Hannah Montana's 2006 Rise to Fame:
* The Debut: On March 24, 2006, the series premiered to 5.4 million viewers, the biggest in Disney Channel history at the time.
* The Chart Dominance: Miley Cyrus (as Hannah) became the first fictional act to reach the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, setting the blueprint for fictional-to-real-world success.
* The Blueprint: While K-Pop: Demon Hunters uses high-octane animation and supernatural stakes, Hannah Montana used relatable "everygirl" charm and infectious pop-rock to bridge the gap between fiction and reality.
What to Expect from the 2026 Special
The upcoming special, titled "Hannah Montana: Still in the Spotlight," promises to be an emotional rollercoaster for fans who grew up with the show.
* The Interview: Miley Cyrus will sit down for an intimate, one-on-one interview with Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper to discuss the show’s legacy and how it shaped her career.
* Iconic Recreations: Fans will see the Stewart family living room and the legendary Hannah Montana closet rebuilt for the first time in years.
* Musical Performances: Get ready to sing along! Miley is confirmed to perform reimagined versions of classics like "Nobody's Perfect," "Supergirl," and "If We Were a Movie."
* Never-Before-Seen Footage: Disney is opening the vaults to share archival clips and behind-the-scenes moments that have stayed hidden for 20 years.
A Legacy That Never Fades
Whether you’re a "Honmoon" (Huntrix fan) or a "Miley’s Memory" veteran, the connection is clear: we love a star with a secret. As Miley Cyrus herself shared in the official press release:
"Hannah Montana will always be a part of who I am. This 'Hannahversary' is my way of saying thank you to the fans who have stood by me for 20 years."
Mark your calendars for March 24, 2026. Whether you’re watching for the nostalgia or to see the icon who started it all, this is one Disney+ event you cannot miss.
