THE BABY-SITTERS CLUB: Alicia Silverstone and Mark Feuerstein Join the Cast

THE BABY-SITTERS CLUB adaptation has announced its first actors.

Alicia Silverstone and Mark Feuerstein have joined the single-camera family-friendly Netflix series, the streaming service announced.

Per Netflix, “Silverstone will play Elizabeth Thomas-Brewer, the mother of Kristy Thomas and love interest of Watson Brewer, played by Feuerstein.”

The series, based on the Ann M. Martin book series, follows a group of young best friends—Kristy, Mary Anne Spier, Claudia Kishi, Stacey McGill, and Dawn Schafer— as they navigate growing up (and baby-sitting) in the fictional Stoneybrook, Connecticut.

The books have been adapted before, with a short-lived television show and a 1995 film. Rachel Shukert is showrunning the Netflix series, which is currently in production.
