How to watch the The Babysitter movies in order

Netflix's The Babysitter mixes gory horror with teen comedy, and its sequel brings back nearly the whole cast. Here is how to watch both films.

Directed by McG, The Babysitter follows twelve-year-old Cole, who stays up late one night and discovers that his cool babysitter Bee is part of a satanic cult. The film became a surprise Netflix hit thanks to Samara Weaving's star-making performance and its gleeful, over-the-top kills. A sequel arrived three years later, picking up Cole's story as a high school student still haunted by that night.

πŸ• Release Order

With only two films, release order is quick and easy to follow.

  1. The Babysitter (2017)
  2. The Babysitter: Killer Queen (2020)

Killer Queen is a direct sequel set two years after the original, so the story moves forward in the same order the films came out.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

The chronology is identical to release order, with Killer Queen following Cole and Melanie on a lake trip where old enemies return.

  1. The Babysitter (2017)
  2. The Babysitter: Killer Queen (2020)

Which Order Should You Choose?

Start with The Babysitter and continue straight into Killer Queen. The sequel relies heavily on callbacks, returning villains and running jokes from the first movie, so watching out of order would spoil the fun and leave many gags without context. Together the two films make for an entertaining double feature, especially for viewers who like their horror with plenty of comedy, a pop soundtrack and outrageous practical effects. Both are available on Netflix, making this an easy weekend binge.
