The series began to be rerun by Canal Futura from 8 December 2008, but the channel only aired the episodes of the first four seasons of the series, except for the last episode of the fourth season "O Pequeno Samurai" with only half of the episode, due to the following seasons being formatted as a telenovela and the episode "O Pequeno Samurai" being considered inadequate and too strong for the channel's educational standard. For some reason, the seventh and final season, which is not in the soap opera format, was never released by Rede Globo.

Years after the end of the contract between Monteiro Lobato's heirs and Rede Globo, for the production of the series in the 70s and 80s of Sítio do Picapau Amarelo, in 1999 Cíntia Abravanel, daughter of television presenter Silvio Santos, intended to get the rights for a new adaptation of the works of Monteiro Lobato on SBT, his father's network. However, Silvio Santos showed no interest in the idea, and the rights then returned to Rede Globo.^[11]

Globo, in turn, began producing a new adaptation of Sítio in July 2000 and on 12 October 2001, it began airing it within the children's program Bambuluá, in a special edition for Children's Day.^[12] Finally, from 22 December 2001, Sítio was shown separately until 2007, when it began airing within the program TV Xuxa.
