Teen sensation Miley Cyrus has hinted that it might be time to hang up her “Hannah Montana” wig for good.

The 15-year-old actress/singer told E! Online that the third season might mark the end of her hit Disney show.

“We’re thinking this is our last season,” she said, pointing out that she’s been playing her pop star alter ego longer than most people realize.

Miley Cyrus started auditioning for “Hannah Montana” when she was 11-years-old, and she will turn 16 in November.

“I just think we did a lot of episodes,” she told E!. “We basically did two seasons in one last year. Usually people would do one season [and] that would be, like, 16 episodes, and we did almost 30 episodes! … It seems like it’s been on, like, longer.”

A representative for the teen superstar followed up by saying, “We do not know if this is the last season.”

A rep for Disney confirmed that the future of the show remains open-ended, saying, “Miley said it best when she said she’s delighted to be part of the Disney family. … We start production on the third season of ‘Hannah Montana’ on August 4 and have an option for a fourth season beyond that. We look forward to the ‘Hannah Montana’ feature film coming to a theater near you in spring 2009.”

Miley Cyrus repeated the Disney family theme, saying, “I’m still with my family. You know, they’re safe. They always feel like home, and that’s what I love about the company. They are family.”
