TV Movie
On May 3, 2016, Nickelodeon on Twitter has been posting what appears to be a picture of a drawing of Gatopardos, Skylos, Gata, and Sfika inside a yellow-outlined triangle, causing rumors about GTC getting a revival soon. Later, on April 14, 2017, Nickelodeon officially announced that GTC will be revived as a TV movie that is set to release before the premiere of Occhi Rossi, making it the 4th Nicktoon to get a revival movie along with Hey Arnold!, Rocko's Modern Life, and Invader Zim. The teaser trailer was released on Youtube on May 4, 2017 in order to celebrate the 10th anniversary of GTC. Later on July 22, 2017, Nickelodeon has posted another trailer on YouTube called "Two Months... | Gatopardos the Cheetah". On the same day, the movie is confirmed to be called "Gatopardos the Cheetah: Sfika's Back!?". The third and the final trailer and a preview has been released on September 8, 2017.

Revival season
In December 21, 2017, due to the success of the TV movie, the series was confirmed to be revived for a sixth season. It premiered in July 20, 2019, becoming the second classic Nickelodeon series to be revived after the fifth season of Velocity: The Dark Human Slayer. The revival is darker than the original, but not as violent as Velocity, thus, still having slapstick. The revival season is rated TV-PG-V with only 3 episodes rated TV-14 and aired on Nick After Dark.

This season is the only season to be produced by Flame Owl Productions and Dark Slime Productions.
