The Baby-Sitters Club is closing down. Netflix will not be ordering a third season of the family comedy-drama series based on the best-selling novels by Ann M. Martin.

The series, which follows the friendship and adventures of seven friends — , Kristy, Claudia, Stacey, Mary Anne, Dawn, Jessi, and Mallory — as they start their own babysitting business in Stoneybrook, Connecticut, remains one of the best reviewed series on television, with both of its seasons scoring 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. While developing a fan following, the series have not been able to attract a wide audience; the eight-episode Season 2, released on October 11, failed to crack Nielsen’s Top 10 weekly streaming rankings and only appeared in the Netflix Top 10 for one week at #9.

Created by Rachel Shukert who served as showrunner, The Baby-Sitters Club starred Sophie Grace as Kristy, Momona Tamada as Claudia, Shay Rudolph as Stacey, Malia Baker as Mary Anne, Xochitl Gomez (replaced by Kyndra Sanchez in Season 2) as Dawn, Anais Lee as Jessi and Vivian Watson as Mallory as well as Alicia Silverstone, Mark Feuerstein.
