We already knewThe Baby-Sitters Clubwould be coming back for Season 2 — but now, we have an official release date! Netflix has confirmed that the second season of the hit teen dramedy series, adapted from the bestselling books byAnn M. Martin, will premiere October 11 with a total of 8 episodes. Alongside the news, a new set of first-look images from the upcoming season have been released, which showcase newbie BSC members Mallory Pike and Jessi Ramsey settling into their club roles and Mary Anne’s blossoming romance with Logan Bruno.
Rachel Shukert, executive producer and series creator, spoke about the ways in which the second season will differ from the first:
“In Season 2, we really get to see a maturation of the club, and of the girls. There are two new members, they’re all a year older and have more experience running a business, deeper friendships and are growing into a deeper understanding of themselves as people. We also wanted to continue exploring themes that allow all young viewers to see themselves represented on screen, while also dealing obliquely with many of the things we’ve all been through in the past year: loss, change, responsibility, and trying to find joy and meaning in unexpected places. I’m so excited for everyone to be back in Stoneybrook and back in business!”
