“Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead” is a remake of the classic ’90s movie that starred Christina Applegate. This time around, Bel-Air’s Simone Joy Jones is the big sis in charge. After her mom has to go to a last-minute retreat, Tanya has to cancel her summer trip to Spain with her friends to stay with her little siblings. What’s worse, her mom also hired a babysitter. After the babysitter unexpectedly dies, Tanya and her siblings Kenny, Melissa, and Zack get rid of the body and fend for themselves for the summer. Tanya gets an adult job but has to hide her real life from everyone, including the boy she’s dating.

Directed by Wade Allain-Marcus (French Dirty, Insecure) from a screenplay by Chuck Hayward (Ted Lasso, WandaVision), Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead stars Simone Joy Jones (Bel-Air, Anything Possible), Patricia “Ms. Pat” Williams (The Ms. Pat Show, Drugstore June), Jermaine Fowler (Sorry to Bother You, Coming 2 America) with June Squibb (Thelma, Nebraska) and Nicole Richie (Summer Camp, Great News).

I talked to Simone Joy Jones, who plays Tanya, about what she loves about the ’90s, what is her favorite show from that time period, her favorite looks from the movie, how she built the chemistry she and Nicole Richie, who plays Rose, has, Tanya and Bryan relationship and what she would do if she was dating someone who was as mysterious as Tanya is, what she would have done with the babysitter’s body, and her favorite scene to shoot.

Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead is now available on digital.
