The anniversary special will premiere on an important date
The Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special will premiere on Disney+ and Hulu on March 24, 2026. That release date marks a special moment because it will be exactly 20 years since Hannah Montana first premiered on Disney Channel on March 24, 2006. For many fans, this is a chance to look back at a series that shaped Disney Channel during the mid and late 200s and became one of its most famous shows. The special is expected to release at around 12 a.m. PT and 3 a.m. ET, as Disney+ usually premieres new content in that time frame.
Miley Cyrus will revisit the show’s biggest moments
Disney has described the project as both a celebration of the series and a tribute to the fans who grew up with it. The special was filmed in front of a live studio audience, mirroring the charm of the original show. It has been said to include an in-depth interview with Miley Cyrus hosted by Alex Cooper. During the special, Miley will reflect on the music, the memories, and the important moments that made Hannah Montana such a special show. Disney has also confirmed that viewers will see never-before-seen archival footage from the set, which adds another reason for longtime fans to watch.

Disney released the trailer for the special on March 17, 2026, one week before the premiere. In the preview, Miley Cyrus arrives in a black Ford Mustang convertible with the license plate “HM 20” and returns to Stage 9 on a studio lot. The trailer includes audio from the show’s opening song, “The Best of Both Worlds,” and has Miley revisiting old sets and speaking with Alex Cooper. The trailer also talks about personal topics, including crushes and friendships, with a nostalgic tone. It also shows Miley singing “The Climb” and “The Best of Both Worlds,” which suggests the special will combine conversations, performances, and reflections to honor the series. In addition, GMA released a new trailer on March 22, 2026, showing participation from multiple artists.
