List of Hannah Montana episodes

The third season of the American TV show Hannah Montana aired on Disney Channel from November 2, 2008, to March 14, 2010. Filming for this season began on August 5, 2008. This season focuses on the characters growing up. Hannah Montana gets a new look with shorter hair and a unique style, often featuring zebra print. Oliver and Lilly start dating in the episode "What I Don't Like About You". Later, Lilly moves in with the Stewarts. By the end of the season, the Stewarts and Lilly move from Malibu, while Oliver gets ready to go on tour with a band. This was the last season shown in standard definition.

Making the Season: Production Details

Disney Channel decided to make a third season in April 2008. The show was filmed from August 2008 to June 2009.

New Look: Opening Sequence Changes

For season three, the opening credits changed a lot. The actors' names appear on a scrolling sign, like you would see at a movie theater. Then, the video shows full-screen clips from both season two and season three episodes. A new version of the song "The Best of Both Worlds" was used. This version was performed at a concert for Season 3, and parts of that performance were added to the theme song.
