Miley Cyrus loved making the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary special.
The 33-year-old pop star played the titular character in the hit Disney sitcom between 2006 and 2011, and Miley has now revealed that she relished revisiting her past experiences for the new Disney special.
Speaking to Extra, Miley shared: “It’s pure joy, excitement, and celebration. This special really is a gift not only to the fans, but for myself as well. It’s really an honour to celebrate this evolution.”
Miley actually played a pivotal role in convincing Disney to make the special, and the actress is now staying tight-lipped about a possible reboot of the show.
Asked if a reboot might be in the works, Miley replied: “We’ll see what happens in the future.”
Earlier this month, Miley revealed that she willed the Hannah Montana anniversary special “into existence”.
The actress actually started discussing the prospect of making an anniversary special before being approached by Disney about the idea.
Miley — who has focused on her music career since leaving the hit TV show — told Variety: “I learned this terrible habit — but I actually think it was good advice — from Dolly [Parton].
“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.
“I think even Disney sometimes forgets the connection between me and Hannah.
“It’s not just a TV show. I see daily how important Hannah is to people. When I travel, people bring me Hannah merch. They ask, ‘Are you ever going to do another season?'”
Miley ultimately started sending fan reactions to the idea to Disney.
Charlie Andrews, a Disney executive who helps to foster new fandoms for old Disney Channel shows, explained: “She willed it into existence.
“The thing she was adamant about is that this is for the fans. That has gone into literally every decision she has made.”
