New Nancy Drew Series On The Way — With A Twist

I know, this all sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Last year, CBS was developing a Nancy Drew series. That particular series would have followed an adult Nancy Drew working for the NYPD. Well, it looks like that project has been put on ice, and now it’s moved over to NBC.

But this NBC project is nothing like its CBS counterpart. This new Nancy Drew project may still have the same creators in the form of Doubt’s Tony Phelan and Joan Rater, but it’s very different. Here’s how Deadline describes the project:

“In NBC’s Nancy Drew, written by the duo, when the author of the most famous female teen detective book series is thrust into a real-life murder mystery, who does she turn to for help? Her two best friends from childhood, who were the inspiration for all those books and the women who have a real ax to grind about the way their supposed best friend chose to portray them all those years ago.”

So this particular take on the story will instead follow an author named Nancy Drew, who based the books on her childhood escapades. She took some liberties with the stories, her role in them, and while she got famous in the process, she lost her friends.

So how did this new take come about? Rater told Deadline that after the Nancy Drew series failed to get a series order at CBS, they just couldn’t let it go:

“We did a pilot and we tried to forget about it but we couldn’t; we loved the characters so much,” Rater said. “But we knew that we had to come up with a different way to go about it.”

What do you think? Is this different enough to be interesting? Let us know down below!
