Netflix has released the first teaser trailer for the upcoming The Baby-Sitters Club reboot, along with the premiere date for the series. This new adaptation hails from showrunner Rachel Shukert (Glow) and director Lucia Aniello (Broad City), but even this brief teaser confirms this new adaptation will still remain close to the source material—and indeed close to the original film and TV series as well.

While only a teaser, we see that the landline does still play a role in this new series, even though it takes place in present day when most pre-teens don’t even know what a landline is. Based on the best-selling book series of the same name, the show follows the adventures of Kristy Thomas (Sophie Grace), Mary Anne Spier (Malia Baker), Claudia Kishi (Momona Tamada), Stacey McGill (Shay Rudolph) and Dawn Schafer (Xochitl Gomez) as they start their own babysitting business in Stoneybrook, Connecticut. Rounding out the ensemble cast is Alicia Silverstone as the single mother of Kristy and Mark Feuerstein as Kristy’s love interes and all around good guy Watson Brewer.

Baby-Sitter’s Club author Ann M. Martin is involved as a producer on the series, which comes as great news.

Check out the Baby-Sitter’s Club teaser below, followed by some new images and the poster. The show premieres on Netflix on July 3rd with 10 half-hour episodes.

Here’s the official synopsis for The Baby-Sitter’s Club:

Netflix’s new series The Baby-Sitters Club is based on the best-selling, beloved book series that follows the friendship and adventures of Kristy Thomas (Sophie Grace), Mary Anne Spier (Malia Baker), Claudia Kishi (Momona Tamada), Stacey McGill (Shay Rudolph) and Dawn Schafer (Xochitl Gomez) as the middle-schoolers start their babysitting business in the town of Stoneybrook, Connecticut. Rounding out the cast, Alicia Silverstone plays Elizabeth Thomas-Brewer, the selfless single mother of Kristy Thomas and love interest of all around good guy Watson Brewer, played by Mark Feuerstein.

 

Ann M. Martin, the series author and show producer, conceived the idea of these inspiring young girls with different backgrounds, personalities and opinions that were brought together by a business venture they created and bonded through the friendships they forged. The adaptation of the contemporary dramedy that continues to champion friendship, female empowerment and entrepreneurship was led by Rachel Shukert (Glow) as showrunner and Lucia Aniello (Broad City) as executive producer and director.
