Netflix's The Baby-Sitters Club reboot gets premiere date and first teaser trailer
Just in time for National Baby-Sitter's Day, EW can exclusively reveal that
was previously adapted back in the '90s into both a TV series and film. But Netflix is bringing the nostalgic characters into modern times by updating them in a story set in today's world. The 10-episode streaming series, with original author Martin attached to produce, follows the friendship and adventures of Kristy Thomas , Mary-Anne Spier , Claudia Kishi , Stacey McGill , and Dawn Schafer as the middle-schoolers start their babysitting business in the town of Stoneybrook, Conn.
Shukert promises that the TV versions of all the girls from the books are still "very canon" and they didn't change who the characters are at their core. "We just leaned into updating them for today," she says. "We really see Mary Anne come into her own and figure out who she is. She learns how to own herself. Claudia in the books is bad at school but we dig into that more in a way that feels right for today.
