Miley Cyrus Is Too ‘Tired’ to Think About ‘Hannah Montana’ Reboot After 20th Anniversary Special: ‘This Has Already Been a Lot’

Hannah Montana made her way back to Hollywood on Monday night.

Miley Cyrus celebrated the “Hannah Montana 20^th Anniversary Special” with a blowout red carpet premiere at the El Capitan Theatre. Before the screening, the former Disney Channel star credited a Variety interview with planting the seeds of what would become the “Hannah Montana” revival celebration.

“You started all this,” Cyrus told me shortly after she arrived. “You started the drama. I just kind of like, mentioned my bangs and my blonde the last time I saw you, and then this happened.”

During a red carpet interview in January at the Palm Springs International Film Festival, Cyrus said she was “working hard” on “Hannah Montana” anniversary plans, but wouldn’t outright confirm the special was in the works. She simply said with a smile, “You see the bangs.”

While happily honoring her iconic popstar persona for the 20th anniversary, Cyrus said she does not have the energy to think about bringing “Hannah Montana” back to the airwaves.

“Girl, I’m already tired,” Cyrus said when asked about a “Hannah Montana” reboot. “This has already been a lot.”

Also walking the carpet were Cyrus’ mom and special co-executive producer Tish Cyrus-Purcell and her sister Brandi Cyrus. Original cast members Anna Maria Perez de Tagle, Cody Linley and Jason Earles, Mateo Arias, Mitchel Musso, Moises Arias and Shanica Knowles were also there.

“Hannah Montana” premiered in March 2006 on the Disney Channel and ran for four seasons before ending in 2011. Cyrus starred as Miley Stewart, a teenager who lived a double life as a famous pop star, Hannah Montana. Cyrus’ father, Billy Ray Cyrus, played her dad.

The anniversary special, which premieres on March 24 on Disney+ and Hulu, features Cyrus singing some of the series’ most popular songs, an interview with Cyrus conducted by “Call Me Daddy” host Alex Cooper and a surprise appearance from Selena Gomez, who was a guest star on Season 2 as Hannah’s pop star rival Mikayla Skeech.

Earlier this year, Cyrus began teasing that a special was in the works. However, she admitted in a recent Variety cover interview that she wasn’t exactly telling the truth. “I learned this terrible habit — but I actually think it was good advice — from Dolly [Parton],” she told writer Ethan Shanfeld. “She told me that if you want something to happen, promote it before it exists. Then no one can say no. So I just started promoting a ‘Hannah Montana’ 20th-anniversary special that literally did not exist.”
