(CW)
Are you a big Nancy Drew fan? According to Deadline, The CW is developing a spin-off TV show called Tom Swift.
Based on the Carolyn Keene book series, Nancy Drew follows the titular teen detective as an adult who returns to solving crimes because of a case involving her family. The cast includes Kennedy McMann, Scott Wolf, Alex Saxon, Leah Lewis, Maddison Jaizani, Tunji Kasim, Riley Smith, and Alvina August. The second season debuts on January 20th on The CW.
The The CW spin-off series Tom Swift would be loosely based on the long-running adventure book series from Stratemeyer Syndicate, which also publishes the Hardy Boys and Bobbsey Twins books.
The proposed show would follow “the serialized adventures of its titular Black, gay, billionaire inventor who is thrust into a world of sci-fi conspiracy and unexplained phenomena after the shocking disappearance of his father. Tom takes to the road on a quest to unravel the truth, leaving behind the comforts of his usual moneyed lifestyle, all while fighting to stay one step ahead of an Illuminati-scale group hell-bent on stopping him. Tom’s missions will require his genius and flair for innovation guided by love, romance, friendship, and the mysteries of the universe yet-unsolved.”
Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage serve as executive producers alongside co-creators Melinda Hsu Taylor, Noga Landau, and Cameron Johnson.

I read the Tom Swift Jr novels. He wasn’t Black, Gay, or a Millionaire . I’m not opposed to such, but why such a drastic turnabout?
Love The Nancy Drew series. Not sure about Tom Swift never heard of him.
Never heard Tom swift love Nancy Drew show too dark same with riverdale getting boring for me. Way too many shows I love it riverdale.
Why not the Hardy Boys?
Hulu is developing a new hardy boys supposed to air sometime this yr not sure when though but it sounds like a good one.
