Billy Ray Cyrus has told how a Hannah Montana prequel is in the works – and he would return “in a heartbeat.”
Nine years after the original show came to an end, Cyrus told HollywoodLife that the Disney show is the latest show getting the prequel/sequel/reboot treatment.
“They’re talking about doing a prequel, which to me, I would do that in a heartbeat,” he told the publication, before jokingly adding: “Because that means I get to get my mullet back.”
Although no details have been provided as to what the series would focus on, it is possible that it could explore the rocker days of Miley’s father.
And the singer – who played Miley’s father, Robby Stewart – recalled how he initially didn’t think he was the right person for the role.
“They had cast me as her dad, and I said, ‘They should get a real actor. I don’t want to mess that show up. They should get a real actor to play her dad, because this is a great script and a great concept,” he explained. “‘It’s going to blow Miley up. It’s going to be big.’”
Hannah Montana originally ran from 2006 to 2011. Hannah Montana: The Movie hit cinemas in 2009.
