This brings us to Hannah Montana: The Movie, coming to Hulu in September. Miley Cyrus returns as Miley Stewart, whose pop alias is Hannah Montana. When the double life becomes too daunting for Miley, her dad, played by her real life dad Billy Ray Cyrus, takes her to their hometown of Crowley Corners, Tennessee.

After reconnecting with her grandmother Ruby (Margo Martindale), a budding romance with Brody (Lucas Till), and reconciling with her best friend Lilly Trescott (Emily Osment), Miley begins to find that perspective her father Robby was intent on her finding when they returned to Tennessee. A snag in the plan, however, is when her double life begins to creep back up on her, forcing her to choose between the opportunities she’s presented as Hannah Montana, or the interpersonal relationships she can cultivate as Miley.

The film, complete with a cameo from Taylor Swift (Crazier (Taylor’s Version) when?), Miley performing a catchy line-dance as herself called the “Hoedown Throwdown”, and a fight over shoes with Tyra Banks that makes tabloid headlines. The Disney movie reminds those who grew up watching Hannah Montana on The Disney Channel that you can “always find your way back home.”
