Miley Cyrus's Visual Album and the Post-Disney Sound of 2025
Miley Cyrus’s career trajectory is arguably the most dramatic and successful of the entire cast, moving from a Disney darling to a Grammy-winning, critically acclaimed artist. Her forthcoming ninth studio album, Something Beautiful, is one of the most anticipated releases of 2025.

While Miley Cyrus dominated the music charts, her co-stars Emily Osment and Moises Arias have quietly built formidable careers in film and television, with 2025 bringing significant new opportunities for both.
Emily Osment: The Queen of Sitcoms
Emily Osment’s post-*Hannah Montana* career has seen her become a reliable and beloved presence in the world of television comedy. After starring in the Freeform series *Young & Hungry* and the Netflix series *Pretty Smart*, Osment found a new home on CBS.
Her role as Mandy McAllister on *Young Sheldon* showcased her comedic timing and dramatic range. The news that she will be a central figure in the upcoming *Young Sheldon* spin-off, focusing on Mandy and Georgie, confirms her status as a network television staple. This move ensures her continued visibility and success in the competitive landscape of mainstream comedy for years to come.

Moises Arias, who played the mischievous Rico, has intentionally steered his career toward more challenging film roles. After acclaimed performances in independent films like *The Kings of Summer* and *Blast Beat*, his latest project is a massive career step.

Earles's transition to a directorial and coaching role allows him to share the lessons learned from his time on shows like *Hannah Montana* and *Kickin' It*.
