A moment of good news for Disney Channel fans: Raven-Symoné is here for more Cheetah Girls. Looking back on the 2003 movie with Entertainment Tonight, the actor teased a reunion might be on the horizon with castmates Adrienne Bailon-Houghton, Sabrina Bryan and Kiely Williams.

“[It was] another moment in culture that gave girl power, that gave fashion, that gave songs — very blessed to be a part of that,” she said of the film’s legacy. “It's gonna be interesting to see what the future holds in regards to the Cheetah Girls.

Talking about the possibility of a sequel, the actor explained how the movie’s “girl community” would resonate well with today’s teenagers.

“I come from a generation [of] catty girls and things of that nature,” the actor continued. “It's starting to change a little bit. I think girls are more like, ‘I got you, girl,’ and to be able to mirror that back in such an iconic, cool, innovative way that screams Cheetah... I mean, I’d be a part of it.”

The early-aughts film follows the story of four teenagers — Galleria (Symoné), Chanel (Bailon), Aquanette (Williams), Dorinda (Bryan) — as they navigate fame and friendships as part of a musical girl group. The movie-musical spawned two sequels: 2006’s The Cheetah Girls 2 and 2008’s The Cheetah Girls: One World. (Notably, Symoné didn’t star in the third installment.)

This isn’t the first time she’s talked about reviving the story. Speaking to E! News in February 2023, Symoné said she’d sign up for another Cheetah Girls movie “in a heartbeat.”

“There’s a wonderful thing to just encapsulate something and let it live,” Symoné said at the time. “We are in the era of reboot, honey. We love a reboot.”
