The Cast of "The Baby-Sitters Club" Breaks The Tradition of Casting Much Older Actors for Teen Shows
Netflix's adaptation of The Baby-Sitters Club is honestly one of the most refreshing things you can watch on television today. While it's incredible to see the books' iconic characters come to life e on the small screen, much of the show's success is all thanks to the young actresses that play Kristy, Mary-Anne, Claudia, Stacey, Dawn, Jessi, and Mallory. Some of the previous adaptations of The Baby-Sitters Club aged up the characters; this version keeps them the same age as the books. The series also takes it one step further and cast girls around the same age as their characters, unlike some other series that typically cast much older characters to play teenagers. This decision not only makes the series feel just like the books but allows it to feel much more accurate as they try to navigate life while also becoming the best babysitters in Stoneybrook.
