Nine years after Netflix’s debut, the horror-comedy film The Babysitter remains one of the biggest hits. What began as a Black List script by Brian Duffield became a cult fav after Netflix acquired its distribution rights. It was released on 13th October 2017 on Netflix. The film turned into a hit overnight. In 2020, McG directed the film’s sequel. The story centers around Cole Johnson satanic cult chaos. Even after more than 6 years since its last release, fans are still asking for the renewal status of The Babysitter 3. Are you also looking for details about the release updates of the film? Don’t worry, this blog contains the latest details that you need to know.
What we know as of now is that the official distribution platform for the film, i.e., Netflix, has never officially announced the third sequel for the film. However, the production company and the cast members have shown their interest in getting the next continuation.
During the Family Switch promotion in 2023, McG said the renewal conversation is ongoing. He highlighted how the first movie gave a huge introduction to Samara Weaving in front of a wider audience, and the second movie gave a career boost to Jenna Ortega just before the release of the Wednesday series. He said that if Netflix renews the franchise for the third part, it can bring a breakout performer of similar caliber. McG told podcasters that the story was made for three parts and only the greenlight from the official streaming network can make the third sequel.
As I already told you, the third sequel for the film is yet to be announced. The first part was officially released on 13th October 2017 on Netflix, followed by the second part, The Babysitter: Killer Queen, on 10 September 2020. The 2017 film received a wider audience and positive ratings compared to the second part. On IMDb, The Babysitter has a 6.4 rating out of 10 by over 120k viewers, while on the same platform, The Babysitter: Killer Queen receives a 5.8 rating by around 60k viewers. The data shows the loss of half of the viewers.
The filming of the first part took around 2 years to finally be released on the streaming platform. Filming of both parts took place in Los Angeles. The franchise carries a TV-MA rating, which means it is suitable for mature audiences with age more than 17 years. They blend black comedy and the dark teen-slasher genre into both parts.
The second part, The Babysitter: Killer Queen, is the continuation of the first part, The Babysitter. Most of the cast members return for the sequel, including Judah Lewis, Hana Mae Lee, Robbie Amell, Emily Alyn Lind, Bella Thorne, and Samara Weaving. Let’s take a look at the cast members of both parts of The Babysitter.
All the cast members of the second sequel are the same as those of the first one. Jenna Ortega as Phoebe Atwell joined the cast as a new student attending Cole’s school and his current love interest. Along with Jenna, Maximilian Acevedo as Jimmy and Juliocesar Chavez as Diego are the new cast members.
The Babysitter follows the dark journey of Cole Johnson, a 12-year-old boy, who always finds himself at the center of the satanic cult. He thinks his hot babysitter, Bee, is the coolest person alive until he sees her stabbing a guy in the head during a truth or dare game. He comes to know that Bee and her friends are a satanic cult that needs blood to complete their devilish ritual.
The second part takes the film two years later, and nobody believes him. Cole was dragged into another nightmare when his so-called friends try to sacrifice him at a lake party. Old cultists rise from the dead, and a mysterious new girl, Phoebe, joins the fight. Bee returns with a shocking secret connected to Phoebe’s past.
