The return of the blonde wig marks a potential return to her Disney persona, with Cooper as producer.

Mixed reviews on the special, with some loving the fan-led production and others feeling underwhelmed by the format.
Miley Cyrus is making waves after the Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special premiered today, March 24, 2026, jokingly calling host and executive producer Alex Cooper a “creepy super-fan” who used her millions to move in right next door.
While the neighbor reveal is viral gold, the real miracle is the return of the blonde wig itself. For over a decade, Miley did everything in her power to “kill” her Disney persona, but she may have finally found her way back home, with Cooper, the $125 million media mogul behind Call Her Daddy, as one of the producers.
By putting a “super-fan” she trusts in the producer’s chair, Miley was able to preserve the magic of her past, resulting in a 2026 version of Hannah that fans are calling perfection.
However, the “full circle” moment hasn’t come without a side of internet tea. While many are adoring the fan-led love letter production, a vocal group of viewers feels underwhelmed by the interview-heavy format and the absence of original cast members like Emily Osment, who stayed busy filming her CBS hit Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.
Critics have even compared the special to the Friends reunion, with some arguing that the focus on Alex Cooper felt like “overexposure” rather than the full-cast concert they were hoping for.
