We will soon be having another season of the show. In February 2021, the series was renewed for a third season.As a long time fan of Nancy Drew I can safely say that this series wasn't made for long time fans. It tied As a long time fan of Nancy Drew I can safely say that this series wasn't made for long time fans. Right off the bat with the pilot, it doesn't have the true Nancy Drew feel and if the pilot is supposed to set up the rest of the series it doesn't bode well. It tied up threads almost too quickly (already). Ned is seemingly the only character that has the most in common with his book counterpart, which isn't to say it's accurate. The actor mostly fits Ned's basic description (tall,dark and handsome lol) and his loyalty to Nancy. I will admit the fact that the change from white to black also meant a change from honor student quarterback to ex-con, was not the smartest move on their part. A lot of the characters don't feel like the characters they're supposed to be. With Kennedy McMann, Leah Lewis, Maddison Jaizani, Tunji Kasim. George and Bess(no longer cousins) may be the biggest offenders next to Carson Drew. An 18-year-old Nancy Drew makes plans to leave her hometown for college after high school graduation, but finds herself drawn into a supernatural murder mystery. Totally annoyed that they casted a skinny girl to play Bess, it's 2019 I expected her original weight to not be ignored/shamed. George doesn't seem to have much of an personality beyond a bad attitude, tattoos, and a leather jacket.

So basically the same as any cliche bad boy/girl from every movie/tv show/book/dating sim ever made. Carson is just a jerk and lawyers can't represent their own children. I'm fine with him having a love interest but since they have Nancy's mom die a year before the show takes place instead of when she was a kid, it's actually really uncomfortable. the people bringing us this grown up and spookier tale of the girl detective, are yet another batch of talented and super attractive actors. It has little to do with the source material besides the small snippets and the actress playing Nancy reenacting a few covers. It feels like they came up with the concept and put Nancy's name on it for attention. Fans who've only vaguely heard of her before would enjoy it more than someone whose known her all their life(like I have).
