17 february 2026 в 22:13
«I still take pride in having been Hannah Montana because she did so much for Miley Cyrus», - Miley said while accepting the Disney Legend award in August 2024. As many millennials and members of Generation Z know, both Miley and Hannah have become significant figures for these generations, and fans are already dreaming of a Hannah Montana tour in 2026. After all, it will soon be 20 years since Miley’s blonde alter ego first appeared, and she has shared ideas on how to celebrate this milestone.
«It really was the beginning of everything», - Miley acknowledged in an interview on Sirius XM in July 2025. «It's amazing to think that I started as a character that I thought I would never be able to shake off. Now, when I enter a space, it’s perceived as nostalgia, but I’ve already become a part of people’s lives as the character itself».
So, could Hannah make a comeback (at least once)? Find out everything Miley said about it below.
Unfortunately for Hannah Montana fans, the official tour in 2026 is not confirmed. All Miley mentioned during her appearance on Sirius XM is that she wants to «create something really special» for the 20th anniversary of «Hannah-verse». This could mean anything, but Miley stated that she is not rushing into tours anytime soon. Most likely, she will not organize a tour, but a concert might be in the plans.
Miley has not announced any formal plans for a return of the Hannah Montana series; however, she has never ruled out that possibility. In September 2020, during an appearance on the radio show «Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp», - she noted that «Hannah is in storage».
Nevertheless, in an interview on the red carpet of «Good Morning America» in December 2025, Miley said that she is «definitely» planning something special to «honor» Hannah.
«I am definitely in the process; right now, I am spending a lot of time thinking about how to honor Hannah in such a special celebration for all of us», - Miley explained. «I am excited to celebrate her too».
«You know when something becomes like a good vintage t-shirt? It has to be enough time for it to become good again», - Miley said. «There's a period when it’s just bad because it’s old, and then it becomes so old that it becomes good again. That’s why we need to wait. Hannah is like good wine. We have to wait until she’s ready».
Miley plans to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her character with Disney Channel, something she has repeatedly mentioned over the past year. At the Palm Springs International Film Festival on January 3, 2026, she told Variety that she is «working hard» on an upcoming project. She even hinted, «You see the bangs», - referring to Hannah’s iconic hairstyle.
On February 17, 2026, Disney+ released a teaser for its official special «20 Years of Hannah Montana», - which will air on March 24.
No one from the Walt Disney Company has expressed official interest in bringing back the sitcom. However, almost all members of the original cast are open to the idea. Jason Earles previously stated that he proposed a «reimagining» of the show in the summer of 2024, but it was «the wrong time».
«It conflicted with other projects in development», - the actor told Deadline at the premiere of «Wizards Beyond Waverly Place» in October 2024. «And it seems that if 'Wizards' is successful, it makes sense to return to the Hannah universe».
Miley said that she definitely has the «physical ability» and «opportunities» for a world tour, but she just doesn’t want to do it.
«I wish I had the desire, but I don’t», - said the Grammy winner during her appearance on «Good Morning America» in July 2025. «I also don’t think there is an infrastructure that supports artists»
