Miley Cyrus organized a special episode for the 20th anniversary of «Hannah Montana» on Disney+. In anticipation of the long-awaited reunion, the Disney Channel star informed everyone that she was working on something to honor her pop star alter ego. Now that the event has passed, fans are wondering where most of the main cast was, particularly Emily Osment, who played Miley/Hannah's best friend, Lilly. So where was Emily, and why didn’t she attend the reunion?
Here’s the reason why Emily couldn’t be present for the 20th-anniversary special and what she said about her absence.
Aside from Miley, the world premiere of the «Hannah Montana» special on March 23, 2026, in Los Angeles was attended by her father Billy Ray Cyrus and former co-stars Jason Earles, Moises Arias, Cody Linley, Shanica Knowles, and Anna Maria Perez de Tagle.
Emily was not at the world premiere and did not appear in the special episode on Disney+ either. Mitchell Musso, who played Oliver on the show, was also absent from these events.
Emily couldn’t attend the «Hannah» cast reunion and the special episode on Disney+ because she was filming the movie «George and Mandy’s First Marriage». The actress took to Instagram to clarify her absence, noting that the Disney Channel series changed her life and gave her «a lifelong respect for this genre of comedy; it taught me discipline, patience, timing, and respect for working in an adult environment at such a young age».
«I can’t express what your kind messages mean to me and how lucky I am to be a part of this unique television show», - Emily wrote in her post. «Thank you for welcoming me into your homes, and I hope to be there for many more years. I would never have reached where I am without you, working on another wonderful show that I love so much. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!»
After «Hannah» ended in 2011, Emily continued to appear in several TV shows, including «The Griffin», - «Cleaners», - «Young & Hungry», - «Mom», - «The Kominsky Method», - «Almost Family», - and «Young Sheldon»
