The Baby-Sitters Club is taking baby steps towards a revival.
The cancelled Netflix series is reportedly in the “preliminary” stages of a Season 3 revival or TV movie. After winning two awards at the Children & Family Emmys last weekend, executive producer Rachel Shukert has hinted at the prospect of bringing The Baby-Sitters Club for a third season.
Per Variety:
“We’re talking about it in a very preliminary way, talking about if we can bring it somewhere else. Or if we could do maybe like a movie, like kind of a wrap up special. The girls obviously are older now than they were when we started and they’ve really grown up. So I think we would have to set it a little bit in the future. But there’s just so much love for the show and for this property and for these characters, and I’m so grateful for that. Even in the aftermath of the show not being renewed again for Season 3, it was so comforting and just so gratifying to see how much love there was for the show. And this [Emmy] is kind of the cherry on the sundae.”
Though a third sitting of The Baby-Sitters Club seems unlikely, Shukert’s comments have given fans hope that they will get to see their favorite characters again in some form. Watch this space…
