The 33-year-old singer-actress was photographed cruising the Southern California coast in a classic convertible, fully in character with her signature platinum blonde wig, oversized sunglasses, and a sleek all-black outfit—straight out of the Disney Channel era that made her a global star.

The sighting, first reported by TMZ, marks the first time Cyrus has been seen on set for the project since Disney+ announced the special on February 17.

The one-hour event, set to premiere March 24 exclusively on Disney+, will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hannah Montana‘s debut, which kicked off in 2006 and ran for four seasons.

Hosted by podcaster Alex Cooper and produced by HopeTown Entertainment and Unwell Productions, the special promises never-before-seen archival footage, iconic set recreations, and performances of Hannah’s biggest hits like “The Best of Both Worlds” and “Nobody’s Perfect.”

Cyrus shared the excitement on Instagram, posting: “Going back to where it all began. 🖤 The Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special premieres March 24 on Disney+.”

She also teased throwback photos and emphasized that “Hannah Montana was, and is, still everywhere,” calling the “Hannahversary” a way to thank fans who’ve supported her for two decades.

The Malibu shoot recreated classic scenes from the show, including Hannah’s famous beachside drives, building massive hype among longtime viewers. Fans flooded social media with excitement, many begging for a potential tour or live reunion concert tied to the milestone.

This marks a full-circle moment for Cyrus, who has spoken openly about her Disney roots while embracing her evolved artistry.

Recent projects include her Golden Globe-nominated song “Dream As One” from Avatar: Fire and Ash (co-written with Mark Ronson and others, now in theaters) and her engagement to musician Maxx Morando announced in late 2025.

Amid the buzz, Cyrus has also faced unrelated online chaos, including an AI-generated recreation of herself that went viral shortly after the anniversary news broke—but the focus remains firmly on this joyful return to her Hannah Montana legacy.

The special is already one of the most anticipated Disney+ drops of 2026, promising a blend of heartfelt nostalgia and fresh celebration for the series that defined a generation.
