Netflix announced the second season of “The Baby-Sitters Club” will premiere on Oct. 11.
“The Baby-Sitters Club,” based on the best-selling book series of the same name by Ann M. Martin, follows a group of friends as they start a baby-sitting business in Stoneybrook, Conn.

Olympic gymnasts and long-time BFFs Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin can’t seem to stop twinning.
“Our tastes are almost identical! From sports, to guys, to décor,” Johnson, 25, says. “We pretty much share the same interests with everything.”
A perfect example of their unintentional matching tendencies: When each underwent their own bedroom makeover with affordable decorating site Joss & Main, they accidentally picked a matching centerpiece.
“When we both showed each other our boards, we started laughing hysterically because of course of all the beds on Joss & Main, we picked the exact same one,” Liukin, 27, says.
