One key cast member, Emily Osment, did not attend. She shared a message online explaining that she is busy filming the show Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. In her post, she looked back on her time on the series and wrote, “Hannah Montana changed my life, it gave me a lifelong respect for this medium of comedy, it taught me discipline, patience, timing and respect working in an adult space so young.”
She also thanked fans, adding, “I can’t tell you what your sweet messages mean to me and how lucky I feel to have been apart of this once in a generation goliath of a television show… Would never be where I am without you guys… With all my heart, THANK YOU!”
The event also drew a mix of celebrities from music, film, and sports. Among them were Rei Ami, Willow Smith, Jaden Smith, Lainey Wilson, JoJo Siwa, Ilona Maher, and Dara Reneé.
The upcoming special is described as a project made for fans. It includes a long interview with Cyrus led by Alex Cooper from the Call Her Daddy podcast. It was filmed with a live audience and will show past moments from the show, guest appearances, and a new performance from Cyrus.
The release is expected to bring back memories for longtime viewers and show how much the series still means to fans today.
