Good news for '80s nostalgists: Disney Channel is rebooting Chris Columbus' 1987 Elisabeth Shue-centric comedy, Adventures in Babysitting.

The TV movie will feature two different babysitters (Sabrina Carpenter and Sofia Carson, the latter of whom is getting a major Disney push with this flick and the upcoming Descendants) with a script by Tiffany Paulsen and direction by John Schultz. The title, Further Adventures in Babysitting, implies it's not so much a remake as a rather belated follow-up.
