Sabrina Bryan is hoping for a Cheetah Girls reboot just as much as the fans are!

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE at iHeartRadio's 102.7 KIIS FM Wango Tango, the actress revealed that she would "absolutely" be down to reprise her role as Dorinda "Do" Thomas, one-fourth of the titular girl band featured in the musical TV movie, which premiered on the Disney Channel in 2003.

"I would love to. I would love to get more of the Cheetah message out there because I've just seen what it's done so far already," Bryan, 40, says.

The Cheetah Girls, which also spawned a Billboard-charting soundtrack, led to Disney developing the group — who, along with Bryan, included Raven-Symoné, Adrienne Bailon-Houghton and Kiely Williams — as recording artists. And following the first movie's success, two more film installments followed: The Cheetah Girls 2 (2006) and The Cheetah Girls: One World (2008).

Bryan also spoke to PEOPLE about her interactions with fans and hearing about how her character has inspired them. In the original film, Dorinda reveals her difficult home life as a foster child.

"A lot of [fans] talk about the idea of their storyline being close to hers, not knowing where her mom is from, having to deal with feeling like they were left behind or not knowing who they are because they don't know their ethnic background," Bryan explains.

"I've had a lot of people come up and just say, 'How you were just so strong in the movies and that didn't stop you,' is something that really inspired them, and I've always loved that," she adds.

Last year, Bryan's costar Symoné, 39, chimed in with her own take on a possible Cheetah Girls reunion.

"Another moment in culture that gave girl power, that gave fashion, that gave songs — [I'm] very blessed to be a part of that," she told Entertainment Tonight in February 2024. "And can't wait to see what the future holds with that. It's gonna be interesting to see what the future holds in regards to the Cheetah Girls."

Symoné noted that "if something happened where the Cheetah Girls came back together on screen," a whole new generation of women would be able to witness the importance of "girl community."

"I come from a generation [of] catty girls and things of that nature. And then my mom's generation [was] the same way," she continued. "I think now 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."

As for Bailon-Houghton, 41, she already has some storyline ideas for a reboot.

"Raven and I would now be the parents, which our mothers in the film were best friends, and then we were best friends," she recently told PEOPLE. "We called ourselves divas and diapers, but it was our moms that kind of started the whole thing. So I think it would be interesting to see it now, her and I as the moms, possibly."
