In the latest screen adaptation of Ann M. Martin’s best-selling book series “The Baby-Sitters Club,” Netflix announced that Mark Feuerstein and Alicia Silverstone will play the mother and stepfather of club member Kristy Thomas.

The 10-episode family-friendly series follows the adventures of five junior high school best friends who run a babysitting service. The books were previously adapted for a 1990 HBO series and a movie in 1995. 

Feuerstein was last seen on TV in the CBS series “9JKL” and Silverstone’s most recent series was “American Woman.” She also has the comedy “Judy Small” and drama “He Pleasure of Your Presence” awaiting release.
