Beloved Disney Channel show Hannah Montana is celebrating its 20th anniversary with the release of a nostalgic special fans won’t want to miss.
Fans all remember where they were when Miley finally took off her blonde wig on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, revealing her double life to fans in a one-hour special titled “I’ll Always Remember You.” Or how about the show’s heartbreaking finale, “Wherever I Go,” in which Miley waves goodbye to her childhood home before heading off to college with her bestie Lilly.

Disney+ dropped the “Hannahversary” special March 24 at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT, which sees Miley recounting her time on the show via a series of interviews facilitated by Alex Cooper, host of the Call Her Daddy podcast. The special also includes performances of hit songs from the show, including “The Best of Both Worlds” and “This Is the Life,” all sung by Miley.
There are also cameos from a few familiar faces, including country star Billy Ray Cyrus, who is Miley’s dad both on the show and in real life, along with Selena Gomez, who played Mikayla Skeech, a pop star rival to Miley Stewart. Emily Osment (Lilly), Mitchel Musso (Oliver), Jason Earles (Jackson), Moisés Arias (Rico) and Dolly Parton (Aunt Dolly) all appear in clips from from the series.
To tune into the special, we’d recommend you get the Disney+ & Hulu bundle, which is available for $12.99 a month with ads. The premium bundle without ads is $19.99 a month. To put that in perspective, a standalone Disney+ subscription will run users $12 a month with ads, while a standalone subscription to Hulu also runs users $12 a month with ads. If you choose not to bundle, that’s $24. You’re saving yourself money overall by buying the bundle and you’re gaining access to both Hulu and Disney+’s streaming libraries. That includes the Hannah Montana special, along with the OG show and the film Hannah Montana: The Movie.
If you grew up in the early 2000s, you probably have a special spot in your heart for Miley Stewart, played by Cyrus, who leads a double life, transforming herself into famous pop singer Hannah Montana, at night, hiding her secret popstardom from those around her. The show began in 2006 and ended in 2011, allowing Cyrus to pursue her music career.
