The CW is developing a Nancy Drew spinoff series titled Tom Swift with the network looking to expand the universe in a new line of series called the “Drew-niverse,” according to Variety.
A pilot script is in the works with Nancy Drew bosses Melinda Hsu Taylor and Noga Landau serving as co-creators along with Nancy Drew producer Fake Empire’s Cameron Johnson.
Tom Swift will be produced by CBS Studios with Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage, Lis Rowinski, Johnson, Landau, and Hsu Taylor executive producing.
The Swift character, who has appeared in various novels since 1910, is expected to appear in an upcoming episode of Nancy Drew Season 2, with the potential for a back-door pilot established off the back of that episode.
