Every version of Hannah Montana — the films & series, compared across media.
Hannah Montana follows Miley Stewart, an ordinary teenager living a secret double life as glamorous pop star Hannah Montana. Keeping the "Best of Both Worlds" is the heart of this story — the tension between a normal adolescence and the pressures of celebrity. That same premise runs through two different screen versions: the TV series that established Miley's world, and a feature film that raises the stakes when the celebrity lifestyle threatens to pull her away from who she really is.
Hannah Montana: The Movie is a direct extension of the Hannah Montana TV series, following the same character — Miley Stewart living a double life as pop star Hannah Montana — into a new story about stepping back from the celebrity lifestyle.
There are two screen versions: the original Hannah Montana TV series (2006) and the feature film Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009), both centered on Miley Stewart's secret double life as a pop star.
The TV series Hannah Montana (2006) introduces Miley Stewart and her double life. Watching it first gives the most context, since the film continues the same story and characters.
