"The Cheetah Girls: Next Gen" First Rehearsal Footage Drops—And the Internet Can't Handle It

The nostalgia train just pulled into the station, and it’s got“The Cheetah Girls”all over it. On Thursday, Raven-Symoné and Adrienne Bailon-Houghton shared their first behind-the-scenes rehearsal footage for“The Cheetah Girls: Next Gen,”posting a TikTok video of themselves practicing choreography in matching black outfits to“Neva Felt So Good.”The chemistry between these two is undeniable, and fans who grew up with the original movies have been flooding social media with excitement. This is the first real glimpse we’ve gotten of what the reboot will look like, and it’s clear the cast isn’t messing around.

Production is in full swing with the complete returning cast, which includes Sabrina Bryan, Lynn Whitfield, and Lori Alter alongside Raven and Adrienne. For a generation of people who spent their childhood watching these films over and over, seeing these actors come back together is hitting on an emotional level that goes beyond typical entertainment news. The dance moves we remember from the original movies are still there, the energy is still there, and most importantly, the people involved actually seem excited to be doing this.

Now, there’s been some internet chatter about drama surrounding the reboot, particularly regarding which cast members were included and which weren’t. Here’s what you need to know: it wasn’t Kiely Williams herself speaking up about being excluded. It was her sister who made those comments, while Kiely has actually shown public support for the project. That’s a good reminder to think twice before believing everything you see online. So what do you think—are you planning to watch the new“Cheetah Girls”when it drops?
