Billy Ray Cyrus has confirmed that daughter Miley’s Hannah Montana series will be coming to an end.

The Disney Channel show is expected to conclude production after the upcoming season finishes next year, Access Hollywood reports.

The 'Achy Breaky Heart' singer said that the cast had just completed shooting the third season and will carry on for one more at the request of his daughter.

He said: "Quite frankly, I give a lot of credit to Miley for taking it to another year. She didn’t want it to just end with whatever was the last episode we did.

"She wanted it to build to where there’s a moral to the story, to where it doesn’t just end and go away and that’s it.

"She wanted there to be an official ending to 'Hannah Montana'."

Filming on the final 11 half-hour long episodes as well as a one-hour series finale will take place in January 2010.

Earlier this month, Miley signed a deal for the fourth season of her popular programme.
