Netflix is bringing back one of its most surprising original films this week, with a sequel to McG’s The Babysitter.

The horror comedy from Brian Duffield (Jane Got a Gun) followed 12-year-old Cole, who fell in love with his babysitter only to discover that her cult wanted to kill him. Debuting in 2017, the film received a glowing review from us.

“This light, fun horror-comedy is McG’s best film in over a decade,” we wrote.

Now, The Babysitter: Killer Queen is upon us. Written by Dan Lagana, the sequel will see the original cast return, from Judah Lewis and Robbie Amell to Hana Mae Lee, Bella Thorne, Emily Alyn Lind, Andrew Bachelor, Ken Marino, Leslie Bibb, Carl McDowell and Chris Wylde.

Two years after defeating a satanic cult led by his babysitter Bee, Cole’s trying to forget his past and focus on surviving high school. But when old enemies unexpectedly return, Cole will once again have to outsmart the forces of evil.

The film premieres on Netflix on 10th September. Here’s the trailer:

 

The Babysitter: Killer Queen is available on Netflix UK, as part of an £9.99 monthly subscription.

 

Netflix orders The Babysitter sequel from McG

26th September 2019

The Babysitter will return for a sequel, Netflix has announced.

Directed by McG, the horror comedy from Brian Duffield (Jane Got a Gun) followed 12-year-old Cole, who fell in love with his babysitter only to discover that her cult wanted to kill him. Debuting in 2017, the film received a glowing review from us.

“This light, fun horror-comedy is McG’s best film in over a decade,” we wrote.

Evidently, someone at Netflix agreed, as the streaming giant has ordered a follow-up movie from the director, who will produce alongside Mary Viola and Zack Schiller. (Executive Producers include Steven Bello, Corey Marsh, Brian Duffield, Alex Boies, Tyler Zacharia and Devin Andre.)

Written by Dan Lagana, the film’s original cast will return, from Judah Lewis and Robbie Amell to Hana Mae Lee, Bella Thorne, Emily Alyn Lind, Andrew Bachelor, Ken Marino, Leslie Bibb, Carl McDowell and Chris Wylde.

It will pick up two years after Cole defeated a satanic cult led by his babysitter, Bee. He’s trying to forget his past and focus on surviving high school. But when old enemies unexpectedly return, Cole will once again have to outsmart the forces of evil.

Principal photography begins on 14th October in Los Angeles, so you can expect it to be streaming in time for Halloween 2020.
