.LogoTV talked to The BabySittersClub showrunner about updating the beloved series for netflix, the show's important trans storyline, and more
, an updated take on the beloved young adult book series from the ’90s, has been one of the few bright spots in this dark and dramatic year. The adventures of Kristy Thomas , Mary-Anne Spier , Claudia Kishi , Stacey McGill , and Dawn Schafer have been updated for a present-day setting, but the timeless tales and lessons of female friendship are still the core of this latest adaptation.
Well, for several reasons. The first and most important one is that transgender children exist, they need babysitters. It’s important to me to show a kid that is just a kid, and that this is just one aspect of who they are. I feel sometimes with internet discourse, transgender [issues] in particular become so all-encompassing, and it’s like, you’re just simply going through all these other things.
Lucia, who is one of the executive producers on the show, actually said she heard someone say that. But it made so much sense to all of us because it was so clear and so simple, just something that’s ingrained, and clear to children too because I think our show has a lot of crossover appeal, and there’s a lot of adults that are watching it obviously. But we also wanted it to be digestible for younger kids, and that’s something that you just can immediately relate to.
Malia was extremely behind the story. I think a lot of people of her generation it’s much, again, it’s much simpler for them. I feel like none of them had any kind of real questions about it. We felt like it was very important to cast a trans actress. We found Kai, who is so wonderful and such an incredible kid. I don’t know how much you know about her, but she won an Emmy for, growing up in Texas, being a trans child. She’s really something, this little girl.
