Jason Earles (Jackson Stewart) is headed back to the Hannah Montana universe—this time with a double life of his own. The newly announced spin-off centers on Jackson in adulthood as he moonlights online under an alter ego: “Chaz Wyoming,” a rising Twitch streamer whose persona starts to eclipse the real Jackson.

What we know (no spoilers)

• Premise: Jackson keeps a low-key day life while building an after-hours streaming brand as “Chaz Wyoming.” The series plays with the franchise’s original dual-identity theme—only now it’s about creator culture, parasocial pressure, sponsorship strings, and who you become when the camera’s always on.
• Format & tone: Gritty, grounded half-hour dramedy with humor intact, aimed at the fans who grew up with the show.
• Title/Platform/Date: TBA. Production details are being kept close.

Who’s returning (at a glance)

• Jason Earles — Jackson Stewart / “Chaz Wyoming.” Older, sharper, still decent—wrestling with a mask he built himself.
• Emily Osment — Lilly Truscott. Reconnects with Jackson; expect involvement around the streaming world without turning the show into nostalgia overload.
• Mitchel Musso — Oliver Oken. Ties to music/production make him a natural bridge for Jackson’s on-air persona.
• Moises Arias — Rico. The hustle found the internet; sponsorships and “brand partnerships” practically have his name on them.
• Billy Ray Cyrus — Robby Ray Stewart. A steadying presence who’s seen what fame can take—and give.
• Miley Cyrus — Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana. Planned limited presence to keep the focus on Jackson, used purposefully rather than frequently.

Creative approach

• New mask, familiar question: The series flips the original’s pop-star secret into a modern creator alter ego, asking where the performance ends and the person begins.
• Music & callbacks: Expect subtle musical nods and visual Easter eggs—winks, not wrenches.
• Story shape: Standalone-friendly episodes woven into a season-long arc; no beat-by-beat synopses are being released this early.

Why this lands now

The audience that grew up with Hannah Montana now lives in the era of streaming, side hustles, and always-on identities. A Jackson-led story about boundaries, burnout, and chosen family threads the needle between comfort and something real.

More casting and production details are expected closer to filming. For now, pencil in Jackson Stewart stepping into the spotlight—by choice—and “Chaz Wyoming” wondering what that choice will cost.
