“Hannah Montana” has officially wrapped up the filming of season 4 which will also be the final season of the series. Disney Channel has now released a promo for the new chapter which is retitled “Hannah Montana Forever”, using Miley Cyrus’ new single for the series “Are You Ready?” as the theme song.
Previously, there has been a clip that sees Hannah treating a young fan to an impromptu concert. A more elaborated scene is included in this so-called promo along with other plots. Miley makes an attempt at matchmaking her dad with a doctor, Jakson falls in love with a girl and Miley starts her senior year with Lilly.
The fourth season is coming this summer. Miley and the crew have held a wrap party earlier this month. “Miley and the rest of her cast, Emily Osment, Jason Earles and Romi Dames were celebrating with a casino-themed party. They had a congratulatory cake, sushi, hot dogs and fries, a fondu set-up by chief Mark Mittelman, a doughnut cart, sugar cookies and custom tea blends,” a source said.
Disney Channel has just released a TV spot for the new season of “Hannah Montana“. Despite announcing that the fourth one would be the last fans will see of Miley Stewart and the gang, the promo is called “Hannah Montana Forever”.
The fourth season kicked off its production on January 18 this year and will begin airing the episodes in July. Containing around 11 episodes that will air throughout the year, “Hannah Montana” will wrap it up with one-hour series finale. “It’s one of the things she’s been wrestling with for months – whether it’s time to make a decision to continue being Hannah Montana or just be a regular, ordinary girl,” Disney Channel Worldwide programming exec Adam Bonnett said.
On another news, the show is including a dozens of military families in a concert scene. On March 12, Miley Cyrus and her father Billy Ray Cyrus have given them a chance to be the studio audience but they decided to do more with them. The kids will be able to greet their deployed parents via satellite.
“My dad has always been super involved with the troops so [the producers] always try to find things that are close to our hearts and that we’re really involved in,” Miley told People. Billy Ray chimed in, “This past December I was in Afghanistan and Iraq and that trip inspired the writers to say let’s do an episode to say thank you to the troops.”

We’re nearing the premiere of Hannah Montana‘s inevitable conclusion, and that only means the network will be releasing so many bonus features of the show via DVD. Associated Content reports that the final season of the Disney Channel series marks the release of this special disc on March 9, featuring favorite moments and an incredible surprise.
Apparently, the Hannah Montana: Miley Says Goodbye DVD will be showcasing the finale of the series, along with an alternate ending for fans to enjoy. If anyone decides to pre-order it from Amazon.com, they’ll manage to see the series’ conclusion even before it hits television screens.
The basic rundown of the DVD is that it follows Miley as she makes her big decision regarding her rockstar life in Malibu and a return to Tennessee with her favorite horse. If you look at the front cover of the thing, you see the star with her pet Blue Jeans. Could that possibly be a clue?
Hannah Montana: Miley Says Goodbye consists of 6 episodes from the Disney Channel comedy, with the epic finale that her fans await. There are also guest stars dominating the scene, from Cody Linley to American Idol’s David Archuleta.
As for the bonus features, there’s Sister Secrets and Hannah’s Highlights. The former is an in-depth look at the character through the eyes of Miley’s real life sister, while the latter covers the best bits of the show.
The alternate ending doesn’t exactly point to the protagonist leading her double life entirely. That feature is for the episode “He Could be the One,” which takes another look at Miley’s love life. Her romantic interest Jake returns to scene, so that’s definitely another big decision for her.
Anyway, you can see a sneak peek of the Hannah Montana: Miley Says Goodbye DVD below. According to the official Walt Disney Studios website, it’s from the season 3 finale of the series.
Don’t forget, Hannah Montana: Miley Says Goodbye hits stores on March 9 while the final season of the series premieres on the same month.
It’s really over for Hannah Montana
now that its star, Miley Cyrus, is moving on. She’s keeping busy with her latest movie and whipping up music for it, especially since she’s starring alongside her boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth, for the flick. With The Last Song opening this March, there’s bound to be plenty of promotions to increase the hype.
Aside from the many trailers and the behind-the-scenes snippets given by the 17-year-old star herself, we have the first music video for the movie. The Hannah Montana pop sensation is trying out a slower, deeper tune this time, with the song “When I Look at You.”
It certainly seems like Miley Cyrus is going for a more mature sound to match her desire to get more mature roles. The Last Song was specifically written for her by novelist Nicholas Sparks, so it looks like she’s truly leaving her Hannah Montana and Disney Channel past behind.
Seeing Liam Hemsworth by her side as she plays the piano on the clip below, you can bet this actress has really found that so-called inspiration she refers to at the beginning of the song. The two of them seem absolutely happy in one another’s company, and that’s not just when the cameras are rolling.
Miley talked about the single for The Last Song on a sneak peek of the movie, saying it was just ideal for the movie. “‘When I Look at You’ was actually a song that was going to go on my next record,” the star announced. “We listened to it and went, ‘Oh my gosh, this could not be more perfect.’ It describes the entire movie.”
Well, we won’t be seeing the film until March 31, but we have the video for “When I Look at You” below. Obviously, Miley Cyrus is having fun doing this for a living.
Now that Hannah Montana
is marching towards its finale, the show’s bound to offer up some great surprises to increase the hype. That’s not to mention dialing up the comedy for an upcoming episode titled “The Wheel Near My Bed (Keeps On Turnin’)”.
Just Jared Jr. reports that actor Jon Cryer will be a guest star on the said installment, and will be playing a crucial part in the series. He’s bagged the role of father to Lilly (Emily Osment), the best friend of the series’ lead character, Miley.
Most of us know the 44-year-old star as Alan Harper on the CBS comedy series Two and a Half Men. He’s had bad luck in relationships there, and it seems like that’s carried on to his stint on the Disney Channel series.
On “The Wheel Near My Bed (Keeps On Turnin’)”, Cryer plays a harebrained dad to Lilly. We expect the two of them to get along though, considering how crazy this girl can get sometimes. Maybe it’s in the genes.
The Hannah Montana episode starts off with Lilly’s mom (guest star Heather Locklear) taking on a new job which requires her to travel to Atlanta. Since she’s left alone, Lilly has to find another place to stay.
Her best friend’s dad Robby Ray (Billy Ray Cyrus) invites her over to stay with the Stewarts, which seems a very exciting prospect at first. Unfortunately, things aren’t as pleasing for Miley (Miley Cyrus). You’d think she’d be happy to spend the night with her pal, but she complains to her dad about their living arrangements.
When Lilly overhears, she decides to move into the cramped apartment of her dad, Kenneth (Jon Cryer). Too bad his antics could be far worse than Miley’s,
The episode “The Wheel Near My Bed (Keeps On Turnin’)” will debut on February 21 at 8PM on the Disney Channel. Be sure to catch the Two and a Half Men
star there.
As his daughter Miley Cyrus tries out more mature endeavors in her career, actor and musician Billy Ray Cyrus is okay with letting go. He knows that the 17-year-old pop sensation will be busy with her projects, so instead he’s focusing on his own.
Still, one thing that keeps them together is the Disney Channel series Hannah Montana. Now that it’s coming to an end, what exactly will these stars get involved with? There will be other shows and movies though, but the fans will certainly remember them most for this one.
Too bad for them, because Billy Ray Cyrus has confirmed that Hannah Montana
really is on its last legs. “The future is we are doing 11 more episodes,” the 48-year-old star revealed to Inside TV. “Disney will have new episodes to air all the way through 2011.”
A spokesperson from Disney recently announced that the cast is filming the final episodes of Hannah Montana, and after which will wrap up production for the show. Right now, the network is still airing season 3. Following that would be the installment leading to the series’ end.
Despite the arrival of the series’ final season, Billy Ray Cyrus has no trouble dealing with endings. He already took the opportunity to work on new material, which will certainly further him in his career.
During the premiere of his new flick The Spy Next Door, Billy Ray said, “Starting the year with [co-stars George] Lopez and Jackie Chan is a good way to do it.”
He added, “I laughed so much making this movie. I just stood around. I knew my lines and got to play this character Colton James, and become something very different for me, this particular role.”
When that’s over and done with though, Billy Ray Cyrus has things covered. “I have two more film projects after I finish ‘Hannah,’ and I am just excited about 2010,” he announced. Can’t say we’re really looking forward to it, but it still might be a commendable career move for the star.
Just like she hinted last year, Miley Cyrus will end her run as “Hannah Montana“. The show that started in 2006 and catapulted the starlet’s name into stardom will wrap it up in season 4 which was ordered by Disney Channel back in June 2009.
The comedy show starring also Emily Osment and Mitchel Musso is in its third season and will have its season finale called “Is Miley Saying Goodbye?” airing in mid March as a one-hour special. Miley will decide whether she should stay in Los Angeles or return to Tennessee.
It will be “a big one-hour event where we find out what Miley Stewart’s decision is going to be,” Disney Channel Worldwide programming exec Adam Bonnett said. Ray Liotta and Angus T. Jones are set to guest star.
The production of season 4 meanwhile will go in motion on January 18. The episodes will run until at least “over a full year”. The story will wrap up in a way similar to “Hannah Montana: The Movie“. Bonnett elaborated, “It’s one of the things she’s been wrestling with for months – whether it’s time to make a decision to continue being Hannah Montana or just be a regular, ordinary girl.”
