The news comes over a year after CBS decided not to pick up Drew, an adaptation inspired by the popular children’s book series.
The series was not picked up at CBS and now the property has landed at NBC.
The shift in perspective is interesting, especially since the roles are for middle-aged women, who don’t get nearly enough representation on television.
Nancy Drew, then, will be about them putting aside their differences and pooling their strengths when Nancy needs them most.
