The rumours were true!
From Pop Crush:
Fans may get the best of both worlds once again with a Hannah Montana prequel.
Billy Ray Cyrus, who played Robby Stewart and his rockstar alter ego Robbie Ray on the 2000s Disney Channel show, confirmed the rumor of the show’s potential revival.
“They’re talking about doing a prequel, which to me, I would do that in a heartbeat,” Billy Ray told Hollywood Life in an interview. “Because that means I get to get my mullet back.”
The original show never shared the full story of the Stewart family or went into detail about how Miley became Hannah. “I think there’s a whole story that led up to Miley becoming Hannah Montana,” Billy Ray shared.
Billy Ray did not confirm if his daughter Miley would sign on for the project or what exactly the storyline of the show will entail. Fans speculate that the revival could be on the new Disney streaming platform Disney+, similar to the High School Musical spinoff on the platform, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.
