In the Netflix TV series, Jerome Squalor is portrayed by Tony Hale. Unlike the book, Jerome does not teach the Baudelaires how to slide down the banisters and he only kisses Sunny when they go their separate ways. In "The Penultimate Peril" Pt. 1, Jerome pretends to date Babs so that he can find the Baudelaires and is heavily implied to be in a relationship with Charles. He and Charles met while attending a support group for those who were terrorized by horrible partners. In "The Penultimate Peril" Pt. 2, Jerome states that he and Esme are still married.
