In the book series, there are five Cheetah Girls, but in the first film adaption and its sequel, there are only four. In the third film installment, there are only three.

The Cheetah Girls is a 2003 movie based on the book, which resulted in the spinoff of a girl group by the same name.

The movies star Raven-Symoné, Sabrina Bryan, and Adrienne Bailon and Kiely Williams of another girl group 3LW. The popularity of the first movie spawned a real-life girl group, The Cheetah Girls, featuring all the stars of the movie, except Raven-Symoné.

On the book covers, each character is portrayed by a model. The real-life R&B girl group Before Dark posed as three of the girls on the book covers.
