Lucia Aniello director of 'The Baby-Sitters Club' on Netflix, dishes on modernizing the series, portraying complex female friendships, and plans for Season 2.
) to their powerful depictions of supportive female friendship. They were also ahead of their time in touching on social issues including racism, adoption, divorce, and childhood illness, all of which were rare topics for children’s books during the late ’80s, when the series was first introduced.
If you’re somebody who’s willing to take on the responsibility to delegate authority, you are a Kristy. Well, I think that for the time, the books were pretty progressive. They had a Japanese-American character—Claudia—as one of the leads, and Stacey had diabetes, and Kristy’s a child of divorce, and Mary Anne has this really strict father. There was already some DNA there in how no girl’s life is perfect, but we wanted to make it more relevant for kids today, because the world looks different than it did in 1986, when the books were first written.
Also, it was important for us to say that, for kids, the right thing to do is so obvious. We should just care for other people no matter what they look like or who they are. When it comes to babysitting, the thing you’re responsible for is keeping children safe. Adults [debating] about what’s right and what’s wrong, and what somebody else should be allowed to do with their own body is so absurd. Just treat people with kindness, treat people with respect.
Well, I can’t speak for all former 13-year-olds, but I remember when I was 13, my relationships were complicated. It wasn’t just like, “This is my best friend and that’s it!” There were feelings of being hurt if somebody had another friend, or being jealous, and being excited about new friendships. It’s complicated, because you’re figuring out who you are, and who you’re friends with is a big part of coming of age. I think it’s true in the [] books and in the series too.
But that episode for me is certainly the most emotional one. I think it’s a very beautiful way to delve into Claudia’s inspiration, and why she creates, and for her to look inward and into her family for inspiration is just such a deeply emotional and inspiring thing. Jade Chang, who wrote that episode, did such an incredible job with it.
