Premiering this March 24, 2026, the nostalgic event promises a trip down memory lane that will recreate the show’s most iconic sets and bring together the cast that defined a generation of Disney Channel fans.
A Milestone Celebration for a Pop Culture Titan
It is hard to believe that on March 24, 2006, a 13-year-old girl from Tennessee stepped onto our screens and changed the landscape of teen television forever. Two decades later, the legacy of Hannah Montana remains as sparkly as ever. To honor this massive milestone, Disney+ is pulling out all the stops for a reunion special that feels less like a documentary and more like a homecoming.
Set to premiere exactly twenty years to the day of the pilot’s debut, the special is designed as a love letter to the fans who grew up alongside Miley Stewart.

In a major departure from traditional clip-show reunions, the centerpiece of the special will be an exclusive, in-depth interview with Miley Cyrus herself. For the first time, Miley will sit down for a career-spanning conversation hosted by Alex Cooper, the powerhouse creator of Call Her Daddy. Adding to the electric energy of the event, the special will be filmed in front of a live studio audience, giving lucky fans a front-row seat to Miley’s reflections on her double life, the pressures of early fame, and the music that defined an era.
Recreating the Magic: Living Rooms and Closets

For many fans, the Stewart family home felt as real as their own, and Disney+ is leaning heavily into that nostalgia. The special will feature high-fidelity recreations of iconic sets, allowing the cast to step back into the Stewart family living room and the legendary kitchen where Jackson’s schemes and Robby Ray’s “pancake wisdom” lived.
Perhaps most excitingly, the special will unveil a reconstructed version of Hannah Montana’s closet. Fans can expect to see the rotating wardrobe racks and the high-tech gadgets that made every 2000s kid dream of a secret pop-star identity. These immersive sets will serve as the backdrop for the cast as they reflect on the 100 episodes and the feature film that made the franchise a multi-billion dollar empire.
Hosted by Alex Cooper
In a move that perfectly bridges the gap between the show’s original demographic and its now-adult fanbase, the special will be hosted by media mogul and Call Her Daddy creator Alex Cooper. As a self-proclaimed superfan of the series, Cooper is expected to bring her signature conversational style to the event, digging deep into the “real” experience of being part of the most successful sitcom in Disney Channel history.

Cooper’s involvement suggests the special won’t just be a “clip show.” Instead, it is expected to be a nuanced, fun, and perhaps emotional look at the pressures and triumphs of the Hannah Montana era. With Cooper at the helm, fans are hoping for an unfiltered look at how the series shaped the lives of stars like Miley Cyrus, Emily Osment, and Jason Earles.
