Rejoice, 90s kids! Netflix is giving another favourite from our childhood by rebooting The BabySitters’ Club.

The streaming giant has commissioned a ten-episode new series of the friendship group, which originally started life as a series of books before becoming a series in 1990, and a film in 1995.

Based in Stoneybook, Connecticut, five girls launch a babysitters club in order to earn some money and build some bonds, all while going through the aches and pains of puberty.

However, they weren’t afraid of facing more difficult topics that could affect teenagers, including racism, divorce, sexuality and embracing individuality.


But basically, every girl wanted to be a member, and even though you might have grown up from it now, it will still give you all the nostalgia feels.



Ann M Martin, who wrote the novels, confirmed the news to Deadline and said: ‘I’m amazed that there are so many passionate fans of The Baby-Sitters Club after all these years and I’m honoured to continue to hear from readers — now grown, who have become writers, editors, teachers, librarians, filmmakers — who say that they see a reflection of themselves in the characters of Kristy and her friends.

‘I’m very excited about the forthcoming series on Netflix, which I hope will inspire a new generation of readers and leaders everywhere,’ she added.

Melissa Cobb, VP Kids & Family at Netflix, added: ‘The themes of The BabySitters Club still resonate 30 years after the original book series was released, and there has never been a more opportune time to tell an aspirational story about empowering young female entrepreneurs.’
