Tubi is set to expand its partnership with famed author R. L. Stine with a new adaptation of The Babysitter. The 83-year-old author is best known for writing the iconic horror fiction series Goosebumps. His other notable works include Rotten School, Mostly Ghostly, and Nightmare Hour.

Among Stine’s celebrated works, The Babysitter is the latest to receive an adaptation. The story is set to be brought to the screen by Tubi.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, R.L. Stine’s popular novel The Babysitter is getting a live-action adaptation, which is set to premiere on Tubi in 2027. The film will be produced by Blue Ice. Pumpkinhead writer-director Jem Garrard is set to write and direct the movie. Garrard will also executive produce the film alongside Lance Samuels, Joan Waricha, and Jane Stine. 

Another popular adaptation of Stine’s work is the Fear Street trilogy. All three movies are available to stream on Netflix. Speaking about the upcoming adaptation and Stine’s work, Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer at Tubi, also shared a few words (via The Hollywood Reporter). 

“With The Babysitter, one of R.L. Stine’s most iconic novels, we’re delivering a fresh, fun thrill ride for longtime fans and a whole new generation,” he said.

Tubi has continued its collaboration with the celebrated horror author, and this partnership brings R. L. Stine’s well-known stories to life.

The Babysitter follows 16-year-old babysitter Jenny, who takes a job to earn money for a prestigious writing program, despite a danger out in the open terrorizing girls and babysitters. Later, she begins receiving threatening phone calls while a dangerous fugitive is out. This begins the story as Jenny begins to suspect everyone around her.

Stine’s novel was first published in 1989 and has two sequels, which are The Babysitter II and The Babysitter III, released in 1991 and 1993, respectively. The two books continue to follow Jenny as she attempts to recover from the events of the first novel, only to find herself facing new, terrifying incident involving babysitters. This is the fourth title in the partnership between Tubi and the author.

The first two adaptations were Pumpkinhead 1 and Pumpkinhead 2. Apart from the recent live-action adaptation of The Babysitter, the streamer has also announced plans to adapt Stine’s Afraid of Clowns. With The Babysitter and Afraid of Clowns in the pipeline, Tubi will continue to bring R.L. Stine's chilling stories to the screen.
