Based on Ann M. Martin<\/strong>‘s best-selling book series, the new show is described as a contemporary live action series. Like the books, the TV show will follow the friendship and babysitting adventures of the BFFs from Stoneybrook.<\/p>\n

“I’m amazed that there are so many passionate fans of The Baby-Sitters Club<\/em> after all these years, and I’m honored to continue to hear from readers\u2014now grown, who have become writers, editors, teachers, librarians, filmmakers\u2014who say that they see a reflection of themselves in the characters of Kristy and her friends. So I’m very excited about the forthcoming series on Netflix, which I hope will inspire a new generation of readers and leaders everywhere,” Martin said in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“The themes of The Baby-Sitters Club<\/em> 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,” Melissa Cobb<\/strong>, vice president of Kids & Family at Netflix, said in a statement. “Together with Ann M. Martin and the team at Walden Media, our ambition is to contemporize the storylines and adventures of this iconic group of girlfriends to reflect modern-day issues.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
