Miley Cyrus is returning to her iconic role. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the series Hannah Montana, and to celebrate the milestone, a special episode has been produced with the actress and singer herself at the center of the story. The premiere will take place on March 24 – exactly two decades after the first episode aired on Disney Channel.

Ahead of the release, the trailer for the anniversary special has been unveiled. The clip shows carefully recreated sets from the show, including the Stewart family’s living room and Hannah’s legendary wardrobe – a space thousands of fans once dreamed about. Miley’s mother also appears on set, as well as, to the surprise of many viewers, her father Billy Ray Cyrus.

The most striking moment of the trailer is Miley’s return as Hannah Montana. It is hard to believe that twenty years have passed since the show first premiered – the artist seems almost unchanged. Cyrus has often admitted that she remembers the filming period with great warmth. At the same time, at a certain point in her career she had to make considerable efforts to ensure audiences would not see her solely through the lens of this character.

In the special episode, the singer will reflect on the Hannah Montana phenomenon and discuss how the iconic role shaped her career. The interview will take place in front of a live studio audience and will be hosted by Alex Cooper, creator of the popular podcast Call Her Daddy.

Hannah Montana first premiered in 2006 and ran for four seasons until 2011. The series received four Primetime Emmy Award nominations in the category of Outstanding Children’s Program. The story of Malibu teenager Miley Stewart, who leads a double life and performs on stage as the pop star Hannah Montana, quickly became a global hit among children and teenagers.

The popularity of the show eventually led to a feature-length film, Hannah Montana: The Movie, which premiered in theaters in April 2009 during the series’ third season.

«Hannah Montana will always be a part of me. What started as an ordinary TV show grew into a shared experience that shaped both my life and the lives of many of my fans», the artist stated.

As a reminder, the series told the story of a schoolgirl leading a double life: by day, an ordinary girl; by night, a pop star. The project became a cultural phenomenon in the U.S. and beyond and played a key role in Cyrus’ career, opening the door to the world of show business.

The return to this legendary role comes amid a wave of nostalgia for 2000s projects and has already sparked a lively response from fans.
