Created by publisher Edward Stratemeyer (the author of the Hardy Boys books), the first book in the Nancy Drew series was published in 1930 and more than 80 million books have been sold worldwide. A teen detective, Nancy lives with her attorney father and spends her free time solving mysteries.
There have been several incarnations of the Nancy Drew character and stories over the years, in books, TV shows, and movies. On television, we’ve seen The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries (ABC, 1977-79) and Nancy Drew (syndication, 1995) TV shows. Other networks have developed Nancy Drew projects in recent years but The CW is the first to order one to series.
Here’s The CW’s brief description of the upcoming Nancy Drew TV show:
