Nancy Drew may finally return to the small screen thanks to The CW, which has tagged Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage’s Fake Empire to develop a TV drama based on the popular sleuth, per Deadline.
Written by Noga Landau (The Magicians), the untitled project is described as centering on an 18-year-old Nancy Drew during the summer after her high school graduation.
Unlike prior attempts, the CW version of Nancy Drew will stay closer to the character featured in the large collection of books written by various ghost authors since 1930.
Currently, there’s a Nancy Drew film in the works from Ellen DeGeneres’ A Very Good Production, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, and Red 56 titled Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase, starring It’s Sophia Lillis as the titular hero.
