he return of Hannah Montana is finally a reality. Two decades after its original debut, the iconic Disney series is back with a highly anticipated special starring Miley Cyrus—marking not only a television milestone, but also an emotional moment in her career.

The special, titled Hannah Montana: 20th Anniversary Special, premieres on March 24, 2026, exclusively on Disney+—exactly 20 years after the show that reshaped teen pop culture first aired.
