Miley Cyrus was 13 when she first played Hannah Montana. Now, 20 years later, Disney+ has announced plans to celebrate the sitcom’s 20th anniversary, with the actress returning to her original roots.
In a statement, she said: “Hannah Montana will always be part of who I am. What started as a TV show became a shared experience that has shaped my life and the lives of so many fans, and I will always be grateful for that connection.”
“The fact that it still means so much to people all these years later is something I’m very proud of. This ‘Hannahversary’ is my way of celebrating and thanking the fans who have supported me for twenty years.”
Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television, said: “Hannah Montana opened the door for so many fans to dream big, sing loud and embrace every side of themselves, which is why its legacy continues to shine for generations.”
“Collaborating with Miley on this special is a dream, and we want it to be a love letter to the fans who are still as passionate as they were when the series debuted nearly two decades ago.”
Disney+ will debut the special on March 24, which will be recorded in front of a live studio.
