In a 2025 interview, Cyrus discussed the series' legacy and addressed whether she believed the show could experience a revival, like other Disney series, including "That's So Raven" and "Wizards of Waverly Place."

"I don’t know if there is a new Hannah," the 33-year-old said. "This is the only Hannah."

Cyrus also got candid about what it feels like to watch the character grow with an audience who loved her so much.

"For me, I love looking back at the growth for both of us because it’s very rare that someone grows up with their fanbase," she added. "When I was 15 years old, I’d look out and see 15-year-olds and now I’m a grown woman, I look out and see other grown people. So what I want to do is honor the longevity of the relationship that we built."
