It's time to get the best of both worlds as Disney has released the trailer for its "Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special," featuring star Miley Cyrus. The special will premiere on March 24, exactly 20 years after the original show premiered on Disney Channel.
In this special, fans will be treated to never-before-seen footage, re-creations of the show's iconic set, reliving of legendary moments, and even some "familiar notes that find their way back into the spotlight," as said by Disney. It will be filmed in front of a live studio audience, featuring an interview with Cyrus hosted by "Call Her Daddy" star Alex Cooper.
"Hannah Montana" first premiered in 2006 and ran for four seasons until 2011, earning four Emmy nominations for outstanding children's program. The show, which followed the story of Miley Stewart, a teenager living in Malibu, Calif., who doubles as the famous pop singer Hannah Montana, was a major hit with kids and tweens. It even spawned a film, "Hannah Montana: The Movie," which was released in theaters in April 2009 during the show's third season.
In addition to Cyrus, the show featured Emily Osment as Lilly Truscott, Hannah's best friend. Mitchel Musso played Oliver Oken, another one of her close friends. Cyrus' real-life father, Billy Ray Cyrus, played Hannah's dad, Robby, and Jason Earles played her brother, Jackson. Moisés Arias played Rico Suave, the manager of the local Rico's Surf Shop.
The show also had a number of high-profile guest stars, including Dolly Parton, Selena Gomez, the Jonas Brothers, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Larry David, Ashley Tisdale, Corbin Bleu, Kelly Ripa, and Lisa Rinna.
The anniversary special promises to be a nostalgic trip down memory lane for fans of the beloved series and a chance to relive some of the most memorable moments from the show.
