Production
Disney Channel renewed the series for a third season in April 2008, which was filmed from August 2008 to June 2009.
Opening sequence
For season three, the opening credits changed dramatically. The names appear on a scrolling marquee as you would see on a theater. The sequence then changes to full-screen episode clips, in which both season 2 and season 3 episodes clips are included. The new version of the song "The Best of Both Worlds" was performed at the Season 3 concert, and clips of that were added to the theme song as well. 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 and the second scene where cut, which is same as season 1 & 2 as Miley admires a hug between her and her dad in a clip of Hannah Montana.
Casting
The main cast of season 3 remained the same as the previous season. Hayley Chase, Romi Dames, David Koechner, and Cody Linley all reprised their roles as Joannie, Traci Van Horn, Uncle Earl, and Jake Ryan, respectively, in at least one episode. Recurring character from the second season Mikayla, played by Selena Gomez, did not make an appearance in any episode of this season. Also, Roxy Roker, played by Frances Callier, was omitted despite an episode in season 2 emphasizing her importance to Miley/Hannah after working for the president and a major part in the season 2 finale, "We're All on This Date Together". Aunt Dolly, played by Dolly Parton, also makes no appearances in this season. This is the final season with Mitchel Musso as a regular cast member.
