Cheetah Girls’ Adrienne Bailon-Houghton Gives Update on Reunion Tour Rumors (Exclusive)
Now this is some cheetahlicious news.
Raven-Symoné and Adrienne Bailon—two members of the iconic Disney Channel girl group The Cheetah Girls—will reprise their respective roles of Galleria Garibaldi and Chanel Simmons in the upcoming The Cheetah Girls: Next Gen.
Their bandmate Sabrina Bryan, who rounded out the quartet alongside Kiely Williams, is set to make a special appearance in the movie as Dorinda Thomas, while Lynn Whitfield and Lori Alter will return as Galleria and Chanel’s moms Dorothea Garibaldi and Juanita Simmons, respectively.
But the party's just begun. After all, Sophia Bush will join the franchise as Jennifré.
Executive produced by Raven-Symoné and Debra Martin Chase, the Disney Channel and Disney+ film will springboard a new lineup of talented girls, including Leah Sava’ Jeffries, Carmen Sanchez, Kaileen Chang, Sophie Lennon and Kamogelo Ramashala.
As the fourth installment of the Cheetah Girls movie franchise, the story picks up with Galleria (Raven) and Chanel (Bailon) traveling to Africa to volunteer at a wildlife sanctuary. There, Galleria's daughter Faith (Jeffries) and Chanel's sister Dior—along with their friends—"find their voice, and discover the true Cheetah spirit as they save the preserve and ultimately take the stage as the new Cheetah Girls," according to a press release.

"It’s happening, and it’s CHEETAHLISHIOUS," Raven wrote on Instagram July 8, captioning a video of herself walking around in various sunny locations, "POV: strutting to the set of The Cheetah Girls: Next Gen."
But this won't be the first time the 40-year-old—who was absent from 2008 threequel The Cheetah Girls: One World— reunited with Bailon, 42, in recent years. After all, Bailon reprised her That's So Raven role of Alana Rivera in season five of the spinoff series Raven's Home in 2022.
As for Sabrina? The 41-year-old remains close with their other bandmate Williams, 39.

"Kiely has been one of my best friends since the start to end," she told E! News in 2024. "From the first movie, we really connected. And we were so sad when filming ended because we thought that was gonna be it. And then when we picked up with doing performances and then into the Christmas tour and beyond—continuing seven years—we've stayed so close."
