Miley Cyrus is returning to NBC to ring in the new year of 2023 — and she’s bringing her godmother Dolly Parton with her!
Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party will return to Miami for its second version on December 31, with Cyrus, 29, co-hosting with Parton, 76.
Fans can only hope that the former Hannah Montana co-stars will get together for a performance during the program, which is produced by SNL founder and executive producer Lorne Michaels.
“Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party is about getting glamorous and dressing your best,” said Cyrus in a promotional video released alongside the announcement.
“Well, we do that every day. Don’t we, Miley?” replied Parton.
“You taught me well,” the Plastic Hearts performer told the country icon, who then said of the show, “It’s gonna be legendary.”
Jen Neal, Executive Vice President, Entertainment Live Events, Specials, and E! News, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, spoke about the event in a news release.
“The inaugural Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party was an unqualified success and we know this year’s show will be just as spectacular, with plenty of surprises and lots of fun,” said Neal. “We can’t wait to get the party started.”
The show will not be Cyrus and Parton’s first collaboration this holiday season, as the “Wrecking Ball” singer will also appear on NBC’s Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas. The holiday special will also include Jimmy Fallon, Miley Cyrus, Willie Nelson, Billy Ray Cyrus, Jimmie Allen, Zach Williams, Tom Everett Scott, Ana Gasteyer, and Angel Parker, and will debut on December 1.
Last year, Cyrus co-hosted Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party with Pete Davidson, and the evening featured performances by Noah Cyrus, Jack Harlow, Anitta, 24kGoldn, Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day, Kitty Ca$h, Brandeetie, and Saweetie.
The 2023 version, starring Cyrus and Parton, will be shown live on NBC and Peacock on December 31 from 10:30 p.m. until 12:30 a.m. ET.
