The creators' names appear in the second to last clip. A new version of the switch from Miley to Hannah is featured in the middle of the theme song, as Miley admires a hug between her and her dad in a clip of Hannah Montana.
Casting
The cast of season 3 remains the same as the previous season. Hayley Chase, Romi Dames, Cody Linley and David Koechner[6] all reprise their roles as Joannie, Traci Van Horn, Jake Ryan and Uncle Earl respectively. Recurring character Mikayla played by Selena Gomez is yet to make an appearance in an episode.
Music
