The upcoming Nancy Drew season 4 will officially be the mystery series' last. Based on the famed series of novels, the CW Network’s Nancy Drew television series debuted in 2019 and saw Kennedy McMann taking on the role of the iconic young detective. The dynamic show also saw re-imagined versions of book characters such as Ace (Alex Saxon), George Fan (Leah Lewis), Bess Marvin (Maddison Jaizani), and Ned Nickerson (Tunji Kasim), plus the introductions of a small handful of new characters that were created for the series.

Although Nancy Drew season 1 was met with rocky criticism and mixed reviews, the CW series quickly grew a passionate fan following thanks to its elaborately plotted mysteries combined with Stephen King-esque ghosts and an overall darker edge that had never-before been explored in the Nancy Drew franchise. Following its second and third seasons, The CW Network confirmed that season 4 of the hit mystery...

Even “Nancy Drew” actress Kennedy McMann can’t avoid the wrath of office equipment.

In a sneak peek at the gag reel for the Season 3 DVD and Blu-ray release, which is out May 10, McCann battles the machine in a frustrating moment we can all relate to.

Season 3 of The CW show picks up a week after the Season 2 finale that saw Nancy’s mystical relative Temperance Hudson return to Horseshoe Bay with a dark agenda. Nancy’s hopes of leaving her hometown for college will be derailed by this mysterious nemesis, and her fate will become entwined with that of her greatest foe yet, per a logline.

The third season sees the teen detective investigating a series of grisly murders that seem to be sending a message to Nancy herself. The Drew Crew will team up with Nancy while also grappling with their own challenges — “Ned ‘Nick’ Nickerson (Tunji Kasim...

Nancy Drew (Kennedy McMann) is back on the case…but is the CW drama moving full steam ahead with her love life and one of the Drew Crew? TV Insider’s exclusive first look at the Nancy Drew Season 3 trailer suggests yes, with a side of “something else has to be going on.” When the new episodes pick up, a week has passed since the Season 2 finale, in which Nancy’s mystical relative Temperance Hudson (Bo Martynowska) returned to Horseshoe Bay with a dark agenda. So much for Nancy’s plans to head to college. Not only must she deal with the escalating supernatural threat, but there’s also a series of grisly murders to investigate — and the clock is ticking. The other members of the Drew Crew have their own problems. Ned “Nick” Nickerson (Tunji Kasim) and George Fan (Leah Lewis) have to deal with her shortened lifespan — and...

Nancy Drew has always been a show that is constantly recalibrating its storytelling, whether that means tinkering with its supporting characters during its first season until the ensemble dynamics feel just right or remapping the arc of its second in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic that drastically altered its episode count.

Season 2 manages to not only seamlessly incorporate the threads of the previous season’s unfinished narratives but tie them firmly into the larger drama of Nancy’s quest to solve the mystery of her own identity. Yes, it did so by way of a dementor-esque monster that secretly hitches a ride onto Nancy’s body for the entire rest of the season in order to feed off her various emotional traumas, but that’s generally just the way this show rolls.

This is hardly the first time Nancy Drew has course-corrected or changed things up mid-stream in the...

The New York Comic Con panel for The CW’s Nancy Drew didn’t waste any time getting into things as the show’s stars Kennedy McMann (Nancy Drew), Scott Wolf (Carson Drew), Alex Saxon (Ace), Leah Lewis (George Fan), Maddison Jaizani (Bess Marvin), Tunji Kasim (Ned “Nick” Nickerson) and Riley Smith (Ryan Hudson) participated in a lightning round of questions in-character before creator/executive producer Noga Landau and showrunner/executive producer Melinda Hsu Taylor joined in on the fun.

The actors and EPs talked about their favorite moments of the freshman season based on the iconic mystery novels before Landau dived into the meat of the conversation: what can we expect for season two?

For one, we can expect some new faces. “There are a couple of characters that we know from the Nancy Drew universe from the books,” Landau said of the sophomore season. “There are also characters...

Nancy Drew has premiered on The CW!

The latest TV series version, which stars newcomer Kennedy McMann, is the culmination of years of attempts to revive the venerable literary franchise focused on the eponymous young female detective, which launched back in 1930. The creation of publisher Edward Stratemeyer, the books have passed through the hands of myriad writers and has seen several adaptations.

The CW is launching two new dramas this fall, and the young-skewing network has just unveiled posters for both.

We'll start with Nancy Drew because who doesn't love a good mystery?

Well, that's what the official key art is trying to imply.

"Everyone loves a good mystery," is what the poster says, and it makes a great point.

"Nancy Drew (Kennedy McMann) is a brilliant teenaged detective whose sense of self had come from solving mysteries in her hometown of Horseshoe Bay, Maine – until her mother’s untimely death derails Nancy’s college plans," reads the official description for the series.

In the spirit of Riverdale, The CW’s new take on the classic Nancy Drew is darker, more supernatural and little sexier than the teen sleuth that we are used to. Comic-Con fangirls and fanboys were treated to a sneak peek at the pilot episode of the new series from showrunner Melinda Hsu-Taylor as well as executive producers Noga Landau and Stephanie Savage which was a spooky hybrid of Veronica Mars and Charmed. The trio was on hand in Ballroom 20 at San Diego along with the new Nancy Drew Kennedy McMann as well as series stars Leah Lewis, Maddison Jaizani, Alex Saxon and Tunji Kasim to talk about this new take on a Ya classic.

Some annual traditions are more exciting than others: the World Series is usually more exciting than the yearly visit to Grandma’s, taking a pet to the vet is trumped by Fourth of July fireworks fights, and the release of the newest installment of Duels of the Planeswalkers is much more enticing than Arbor Day. After last week’s release of the iPad edition of the game, fans can finally get to work on Magic 2015 on Xbox 360, Steam, Android and Kindle.

At this point in time, no release date has been announced for a PlayStation 3 or 4 edition of the game, and the Xbox One version will be available “later this summer.” No reason for their absence has been given by Wizards of the Coast, but chances are if you’re interested at all in the game, you’re the type of person who has at least one of the devices mentioned above.

Even if Magic: The Gathering isn’t right up your alley, chances are you at least know a half dozen people who are obsessed with it. Taking advantage of the massive appeal the game has, Wizards of the Coast has teamed up with leading game developers to create 14 unique cards for the release of Magic 2015, which will be available on July 18.

The group of developers involved with creating new cards makes up a laundry list of big names in the industry, ranging from indie game designers to personalities such as Notch and Lord British. Check out the full list below for a better idea of what to expect:
