Tubi has announced a film adaptation of R.L. Stine’s 1989 novel The Babysitter, expected in 2027. The project was unveiled at its New York Comic Con panel on October 11 and becomes the platform’s fourth collaboration with the author. Sixteen-year-old Jenny accepts babysitting work to fund a writing programme despite

reports of a prowler targeting girls her age. Threatening calls and the presence of a dangerous fugitive turn the ordinary job into a mystery about who she can trust. Jem Garrard, writer-director of the two Pumpkinhead films, will write and executive produce. Trevor Calverley directs, with Blue Ice producing. Tubi has

yet to name the cast or an exact premiere date, so the announcement establishes the adaptation and creative team rather than a finished release schedule. Read the official source. Image: Tubi; official The Babysitter announcement artwork.
