In television, most shows end up being cancelled while a few finish on their own terms. Apparently pop sensation Miley Cyrus has decided to say goodbye to the Disney Channel series that made her a star.
Hannah Montana revolves around Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus), an average high schooler. Unbeknownst to her classmates, she has a dual identity as popular singer Hannah Montana. Raised in Tennessee, Miley now lives in Malibu with her father and manager, Robby Stewart (real-life dad Billy Ray Cyrus), and her brother Jackson (Jason Earles). Miley’s family and friends like Lilly (Emily Osment) and Oliver (Mitchel Musso) are among the few who know Hannah Montana’s true identity.
The series debuted on March 24, 2006 and became a huge success for the Disney Channel. By the end of the year, Disney had announced plans for dozens of Hannah Montana products and the number has only grown from there. Miley Cyrus’ music career has also taken off, following the October 2006 release of a Hannah Montana soundtrack CD. That’s paved the way for several more successful albums, a concert, and a feature film.
But, with Miley Cyrus getting older and wanting to move on to do other things, the young star apparently feels like it’s time for Hannah Montana to come to an end. Rumors have been circulating that season three would be the end but she recently signed on for season four. According to Billy Ray though, there won’t be a fifth season.
In a recent interview with Access Hollywood, Miley’s father confirmed that season four would be the last year for the series. He also commended his daughter for wanting to end the show in the right way.
He said, “Quite frankly, I give a lot of credit to Miley for taking it to another year. She didn’t want it to just end with whatever was the last episode we did. She wanted it to build to where there’s a moral to the story, to where it doesn’t just end and go away and that’s it. She wanted there to be an official ending to Hannah Montana.”
The final season of Hannah Montana is set to begin filming in January and will be completed by early June. For season four, there will be just 11 half-hour episodes before the show wraps up with a special one-hour installment. It’s expected that they’ll begin airing in 2010.
So, will that be truly be the end of the industry phenomenon known as Hannah Montana? Maybe not. Billy Ray laughed, “Anything is possible in Hollywood.”

Oh my god thank you I hate that show and all the stupid shows disney has come up with except for a few. Thank God its leaving it drove me insane.
Good bye hannah montana forever!! yay!!
She not quiting as a singer or being a actress. She just wants to do other things in her life. She doesn’t want to be known as Billy ray cyrus’s daughter or as Hannah Montanna. I grew up listening to her dad as a kid now i am close to my 30’s now. Her dad didn’t stop singing when he started to act in movies or tv shows. He did both along with being a parent to miley and her siblings.
Don’t really know what to say its gonna be kinda weird when its over not dat i enjoyed it or anything da gurls where just hotttt!! There r a lot of kids out there that r gonna be extremely upset. U shud have a spin off.
that show actually made her a star and now she thinks that sice she is a big star she can just cancell it!
i like hannah montana i just don’t really like miley. lol
well i think she is bein older and i think its time rock and roll on with music not shows……………by da way u rock very much
PS:waitin to watch season 4
