Netflix has renewed the television reboot of best-selling book series The Baby-Sitters Club for a second season. The cast made the announcement in a YouTube video posted Wednesday, October 28.
The second season will debut in 2021, more than a year after the first season’s release in July 2020. Rachel Shukert will return as showrunner and producer.
The Netflix adaptation stars Sophie Grace as Kristy, Malia Baker as Mary Anne, Momona Tamada as Claudia, Shay Rudolph as Stacey, Xochitl Gomez as Dawn, Anais Lee as Jessie, and Vivian Watson as Mallory, who will all be reprising their roles in season two.
The Baby-Sitters Club follows middle-schoolers Kristy Thomas, Mary Anne Spier, Claudia Kishi, Stacey McGill, Dawn Schafer, Jessie Ramsey, and Mallory Pike as they set up a babysitting venture while winding their way through tween drama in Soneybrook, Connecticut. It is based on the iconic 1980s young adult novel series of the same name by Ann M. Martin.
Each book in the series titles a name of one of the members of The Baby-Sitters Club – a pattern that showrunner Shukert followed in the show’s first season episodes.
The critically-acclaimed Netflix reboot has gained praise for its loyalty to the book series, and has earned a new generation of fans for its progressiveness as it features a transgender person’s storyline. – with reports from Winona Castelo/Rappler.com
