On March 24, 2026, Alex Cooper will host the highly anticipated Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, marking 20 years since the show’s debut. Miley Cyrus, who starred as the titular character from 2006 to 2011, has humorously referred to Cooper as ‘kinda creepy’ for moving next door to her.
The special will feature never-before-seen archival footage and performances of iconic songs from the series, which played a significant role in launching Cyrus’s musical career. In a light-hearted comment, Cyrus noted, “Alex being a superfan… it’s kinda creepy… she is also my neighbour, which is also creepy.”
Despite the playful jab, Cyrus expressed gratitude towards Cooper for her role in bringing the anniversary special to life, stating, “Hannah Montana will always be a part of who I am.” The event will be filmed in front of a live studio audience, adding to the excitement surrounding the celebration.
Cooper, now 31, has made a name for herself in the entertainment industry, and her hosting of this special is a testament to her growing influence. The Hannah Montana series aired for four seasons, captivating audiences and solidifying Cyrus’s status as a pop culture icon.
Notably, Emily Osment, who played Lilly Truscott on the show, was absent from the event due to filming commitments for another project. Her absence raises questions about the full lineup of participants in the special.
As fans eagerly await the premiere, the event promises to be a nostalgic trip down memory lane for many who grew up watching the show. Observers are keen to see how the special will blend new content with beloved memories from the series.
With the anniversary approaching, excitement is building, but details remain unconfirmed regarding other potential surprises or guest appearances during the event. The combination of nostalgia and new insights into the making of Hannah Montana is sure to attract a wide audience.
