Move over Miley Cyrus, Hannah Montana is coming.
The "Flowers" singer is revisiting her Disney Channel roots, donning the signature blonde look of the fictional popstar ahead of the sitcom's 20th anniversary in March.
At the Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival on Jan. 3, Cyrus confirmed she is involved with plans for the milestone date.
"Absolutely. We're working hard on them," she told Variety.
While she said she couldn't say more about what's in store for fans, Cyrus pointed to her blonde hairstyle, adding, "You see the bangs."
Miley Cyrus attends the 37th Annual Palm Springs International Film Awards on Jan. 3, 2026, in Palm Springs, California.
Cyrus starred in the series alongside Emily Osment, Mitchel Musso and father Billy Ray Cyrus, between March 2006 and January 2011, and starred in the 2009 feature film "Hannah Montana: The Movie." Under the Hannah Montana persona, she also released multiple platinum-selling soundtracks and headlined the Best of Both Worlds Tour, which grossed over $54 million.
Hollywood stepped out on the first big red carpet of the new year at the Palm Springs International Film Awards in California on Jan. 3, 2025, starting with "Sentimental Value" star Renate Reinsve.

1 / 18Best Palm Springs Film Awards looks, from Kate Hudson to Miley Cyrus
Hollywood stepped out on the first big red carpet of the new year at the Palm Springs International Film Awards in California on Jan. 3, 2025, starting with "Sentimental Value" star Renate Reinsve.
What's happening for the Hannah Montana 20th anniversary?
The Grammy-winning musician first teased plans for the anniversary in a July 22 interview on SiriusXM.
"I want to design something really, really special for it because it really was the beginning of all of this," she said. "Without Hannah, there wouldn't really be this me."
"It's crazy to think that I started as a character that I thought was going to be impossible to shed, and now that's something that when I walk into a space, it's looked at as this sense of kind of, like, nostalgia or something that you have from your childhood," she added. "So, that's exciting to get to celebrate that."
Will there be a Hannah Montana tour in 2026?
Cyrus has not announced plans to tour as "Hannah Montana" for the show's 20th anniversary.
While exact anniversary plans remain under wraps, a tour seems unlikely, as Cyrus has previously expressed a lack of interest in touring.
During a May 2023 interview with British Vogue, the "Something Beautiful" singer added that while she enjoys performing for her friends, noting that "singing for hundreds of thousands of people isn't really the thing that I love."
