Next Season Will Be Hannah Montana’s Last

Tish Cyrus, Miley Cyrus

I care about this because I have an embarrassing addiction to The Disney Channel. It’s like visual valium to me and a healthy helping of Lizzie McGuire, Hannah Montana, or Wizards of Waverly Place is my equivalent of mainlining wholesome, feelgood, tween happiness. They make me feel calm and happy and like a giant pile of family-friendly mush.

But it’s the end of an era, folks. In an interview with Access Hollywood, Billy Ray Cyrus confirmed that Hannah Montana’s next season will be its last.

“Quite frankly, I give a lot of credit to Miley for taking it to another year,” Cyrus said. “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.’”

Cyrus said they will film the final 11 half-hour long episodes and a one-hour long season finale, all expected to screen in 2010.

In response, The Disney Channel has announced plans to rename itself The Suite Channel of Zack & Cody and air Zack & Cody shows 23 hours a day instead of the previous 22.5 hours.

Meanwhile, I’d like to see some suggestions on what you think this “official ending to Hannah Montana” is going to entail. My guess is someone will turn a wheel in a subterranean cave and the recording studio will vanish just as Miley jumps a shark on a motorcycle.

Can’t go wrong with jumping a shark on a motorcycle.

  • I’m just in love with the look on her face in that photo. Isn’t she sixteen? And isn’t sixteen a little too young to have blow job lips? Regardless, it’s not surprising that the show is ending and it’s less surprising that Disney didn’t seem to try too hard to keep her on.

    • So her lips are supposed to grow suddenly at an appropriate age?
      Good grief, you’re a perv.
      I hope no-one like you ever looked at me when I was younger and said “Jeez, that 8 year old has some dick-suckin’ lips!”

    • Yep, and a girl who looks exactly like her dad is not a good thing. No matter who your dad is.
      I’m sure the money had nothing to do with staying on another year. Or that it would buy her time to get a new project solid before she leaves.
      It was all for the integrity of the story arc.

  • I’m praying that the finale will be Victoria Principal waking up and realizing that Hannah Mon-h*cking-tana was just a horrible, horrible, very bad dream.

  • I think the ending is going to be Hanna taking off the wig at a graduation or something and then her leaving her friends behind. Showing the same stuff that all of the school based shows do.

  • Who cares what her lips look like and if you’re looking at her lips and saying bad things about her you are a perv. Their won’t be another season this is the last one she’s taking a break from acting but she might do another movie with her Hannah Montana Character and if theres a movie that she likes that she would like to be in. But mostly she’s going to be righting new songs and recording.
