Opening Sequence

For season three, the opening credits changed dramatically. Since the new Hannah style change, the opening credits needed to change. 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, as Miley admires a hug between her and her dad in a clip of Hannah Montana.

Casting

The cast of season 3 remains the same as the previous season. Hayley Chase, Romi Dames, Cody Linley and David Koechner all reprise their roles as Joannie, Traci Van Horn, Jake Ryan and Uncle Earl respectively. Recurring characters from the second season Roxy Roker, and Mikayla, played by Frances Callier and Selena Gomez have yet to make an appearance in an episode.

Music

The new version of "The Best of Both Worlds" was used both for the movie as well as for the opening sequence, and was sung at the Hannah Montana season 3 concert in 2008. This version is extended to 59 seconds. The full version is featured on Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack but is not featured on the Hannah Montana 3 soundtrack.
