Despite the fact that Miley Cyrus suggested it might be time for her to abandon her Hannah Montana alter ego, there doesn’t appear to be a firm end in sight. In a July 2008 interview, Miley told E!News that the current season may be the last for the budding actress and singer. However, Disney has yet to confirm the future of the show.
Miley first took on the role of Hannah Montana at age 11. Now, at 16, she feels as though exploring other options may be a good idea. Miley further explained that while most shows may issue about 16 episodes per season, Hannah Montana produced 30, almost double that of a regular series. In response, a Disney representative declared that the future of the show remained open at that point.
Not surprisingly, rumors soon started flying that the role of Hannah would be taken over by Miley`s youngest sister, Noah. According to reports, dad Billy Ray had been preparing the then-nine-year old for the challenge, but Miley has since dismissed those claims. While Miley did confirm that Noah would love to assume the role, it is definitely not the plan. Speculation had even gone so far as to suggest that an audition had already taken place between Noah and Disney executives.
In response to her thoughts about leaving the show, Miley told fans that she feels like she`s been working on the show much longer than in reality. Sources have also noted that leaving Hannah Montana would give Miley an opportunity to take on more mature roles and shed the `little girl` image for which she is known. As they say, all good things must come to an end. Now, it’s a matter of wait-and-see, as Hannah Montana fans hang on the edges of their seats in the hopes of good news for season four.
With production normally beginning in late summer, Miley would likely need to confirm her plans for the 2009 start within the next few months. While Disney may hold the right to find a new actress to fill the shoes of Hannah Montana – should Miley move on to bigger and better things – the company would be forced to invest a huge leap of faith in the superstar’s fans.
