MILEY Cyrus‘ smash hit TV show, Hannah Montana, will wrap production forever in 2010.

The Disney Channel series — about average teen “Miley Stewart” who secretly moonlights as pop star Hannah Montana — begins shooting its fourth season Jan. 18. The show still averages nearly 5 million viewers a week.

“You never know in this business . . . but right now we’re scheduled to wrap [forever] after shooting this new batch of episodes,” Disney Channel Worldwide’s Adam Bonnett, senior VP/programming, told the New York Post newspaper. The fourth season will premiere “in late spring,” Bonnett says.

“The [new] episodes will continue to roll out at least over a full year,” he says.

The narrative framework for Season 4 will reflect the real-life struggle the actress is having leaving behind the character that made her famous, according to the Post.

In September 2008, Cyrus squashed rumors that she was trying to get fired from the show, insisting, “I am fully committed to Hannah Montana. It’s what gave me this amazing opportunity to reach out to so many people.” showbizspy
