Season four of Miley Cyrus' hit Disney series, "Hannah Montana," will be the show's last. Rumors of the show's curtain call have been swirling for about a year now, and on Friday (January 8), a rep for Disney confirmed the upcoming finale to MTV News.
"You never know in this business ... but right now, we're scheduled to wrap after shooting this new batch of episodes," Disney Channel Worldwide programming exec Adam Bonnett said in a statement. "The [new] episodes will continue to roll out at least over a full year."
Hannah Montana, America's Sweetheart
Production on the fourth season of the show, which debuted on the Disney Channel in 2006, will begin January 18 and continue throughout the summer, with breaks scheduled around Cyrus promoting her film "The Last Song" in April. The season is set to kick off in the spring, according to Bonnett.
The season-three finale, called "Is Miley Saying Goodbye?," is set to air as a one-hour special in mid-March, setting up the story line for the fourth season. Bonnett said it will be "a big one-hour event where we find out what Miley Stewart's decision is going to be."
In season four, Cyrus' character, Miley Stewart, will struggle with her dual lives as a pop star and as a regular girl. It's a similar situation to the one her character faced in the 2009 flick "Hannah Montana: The Movie." "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," Bonnett said.
The New York Post reported that Ray Liotta and "Two and a Half Men" teen star Angus T. Jones are set to appear on the show this season. "Ray Liotta will play a role that no one would ever expect him to play in a teen sitcom," Bonnett hinted.
In an interview for the February issue of Harper's Bazaar, Cyrus expressed her interest in seeking out more mature roles and noted that, although she's a role model, she doesn't feel the need to be her fans' parent.
"Everything is so dramatic in the world," she said. "My job is to be a role model, and that's what I want to do, but my job isn't to be a parent. My job isn't to tell your kids how to act or how not to act, because I'm still figuring that out for myself. So to take that away from me is a bit selfish. Your kids are going to make mistakes whether I do or not. That's just life."
good grief, maybe she will get married and have kids.
lol
My daughter will probably go into convulsions. She loves Hannah Montana.
More like the drugs and porno segment of her career.
On it’s face this is good news, but sadly her show will just be replaced by more disposable mind-rotting, generation-killing trash from Disney.
They’re gonna give the Jonas Brothers a sitcom ?
Who is the Asian young lady from that show about the twin boys who live in the hotel?
What sitcom is that ? “Two Wongs Don’t Make A Right” ?
In the old days we tried to lead children away from such “natural” earthy three-year-old laughs and gear things to more genteel humor.
Don’t forget the what-was-she-thinking series of romantic misadventures that will keep tabloid presses happily printing for years.
I wish this information were unknown to me.
Ray Liotta.
Hmmmm
He happens to be a fave of mine.
He is a good bad guy movie charactor.
Makes him sinisterly attractive.
I watch ever movie he is in, but I somehow dont think I can sit through a Hannah Montana show to watch him and if he is expected to play a role oppisite his usual then it may be a turn off.
Have you ever taken her to a concert?
I am not sure how old your daughter is but going to assume old enough to have Mom take her to see her teen star.
That’s a cute boatload of not guilty.
Shaved head, drugs, tats on the way!
I don't know why I drifted to this thread. I'm bored I guess. But you seem like a judgmental ass that makes assumptions. Why? Life didn't treat you as well as you think it should have. Taking a slam at at little girl doesn't make you much of a man if you are one.
One can always hope for her sake, that she avoids the common pitfalls of drugs and gross immorality. It would be decent for those young ladies who may look up to her TV persona as well.
(Only 4 seasons??? I thought they were on number six or eight or something...)
She got tats already, under her tits.
