The series would eventually make its domestic debut on The Hub (currently known as Discovery Family) in 2010. It can also be viewed in Spanish on Discovery Familia.[citation needed]

The Strawberry Shortcake Movie: Sky's the Limit is a 2009 film that began the series. It is also known as the pilot for the Berry Bitty Adventures series.
To coincide with the relaunch of the franchise, a toy line was produced by Hasbro and later The Bridge Direct, which were both known simply as "Strawberry Shortcake".
In the United States, as with the 2003 series, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment distributed DVDs of this series, as well. Season 2 is the only season completely released on DVD, as the rest of the seasons are all missing an episode. Later DVDs also include digital download codes.
In France, M6 Video released the series onto DVD, including complete series boxsets.
