A Look Back at ‘Cheetah Girls’ Newbie Sophie Lennon’s ‘AGT’ Journey

The Cheetah Girls is returning with a whole new cast for the upcoming film The Cheetah Girls: Next Gen. One of the four Cheetah Girls in the new film is Sophie Lennon, a rising star who previously appeared on America’s Got Talent.

Lennon stars as Brooklyn in the film alongside Leah Sava Jeffries, Carmen Sanchez, and Kaileen Chang. Raven-Symoné and Adrienne Bailon will be reprising their roles as Galleria and Chanel, while Sabrina Bryan will make a special appearance as Dorinda.

The ladies are due to begin filming this month in South Africa, with a premiere date to be revealed at a later time. It might be a while until we actually see this film, but the new stars are already making waves, and we rounded up more to know about Sophie below.

Both of her Britain’s Got Talent auditions were not televised and she was sent home during deliberations both times there as well.
