Calling The Baby-Sitters Club! Netflix's TV show adaptation of the Babysitters Club books is coming soon, and a brand-new trailer is stoking anticipation for the legions of fans.
The Baby-Sitters Club aka BSC is a bestselling young adult book series by Ann M. Martin, published between 1986 and 2000. The 213 books chronicled the lives of a group of young teen friends living in the fictional, suburban town of Stoneybrook, Connecticut. They start a babysitting service, which allows parents to call one phone number and reach several potential sitters at the same time.

The BSC's original four members are Kristy Thomas (founder and president), Mary Anne Spier (secretary), Claudia Kishi (vice-president), and Stacey McGill (treasurer). Other teens join the club later, including Dawn Schafer, Mallory Pike, Jessi Ramsey and Logan Bruno.
The beloved Babysitters Club books have been adapted several times in different forms, including popular graphic novels, a 1990 TV show that aired on HBO and Nickelodeon and a 1995 feature film starring Schuyler Fisk and Rachael Leigh Cook.

The Baby-Sitters Club episodes
There are 10 episodes in The Baby-Sitters Club season 1. We know the titles, thanks to the Writers Guild of America listings, but don't have confirmation on the order they will air.
However, the episode titles echo the book titles, or at least the first eight Babysitters Club books. Those appear to be followed by two-part finale that may be based on the super special novel Baby-sitters' Summer Vacation. So, if the episodes air in the order of the books, they will be:
- Episode 1: Kristy's Great Idea
- Episode 2: Claudia and the Phantom Caller
- Episode 3: The Truth About Stacey
- Episode 4: Mary Anne Saves The Day
- Episode 5: Dawn and the Impossible Three
- Episode 6: Kristy's Big Day
- Episode 7: Claudia and Mean Janine
- Episode 8: Boy-Crazy Stacey
- Episode 9: Hello, Camp Mohawk! Pt 1
- Episode 10: Hello, Camp Mohawk! Pt 2
