Nancy Drew will solve her last case for The CW in 2023, as the now Nexstar-controlled media conglomerate has swung the axe yet again. The series will join The Flash and Riverdale in the list of shows that are back for final seasons, but nothing more beyond that.
“We are so honored and proud to have brought Nancy Drew’s iconic determination, individuality and resilience to life in a years-long collaboration with incredible creative talents in front of the camera, behind the scenes and among our studio and network partners,” showrunners Noga Landau and Melinda Hsu Taylor said in a statement released by The CW. “Our hearts are full of gratitude, knowing that we are able to bring this chapter to a close with intentionality, inclusivity and kindness — and of course with plenty of sleuthing twists, supernatural scares and star-crossed romance along the way. We are especially indebted to our wonderful fan community, whose connection with our themes and stories has meant the world to us. Season 4 will be a worthy and resonant payoff for their continued love and support.”
Kennedy McMann, who plays the titular Nancy Drew, released her own statement: “It has been the greatest pleasure to begin my career as one small part of Nancy Drew’s endless legacy,” she said. “What a privilege to walk in her shoes for as long as I have, to be inspired by her and to grow with her. I wish our incredible fans could feel the heart and passion of our crew that has been ever-present on and off screen, day in and day out since the very beginning. You are every bit a part of this incredible show as we are. Thank you, thank you, thank you for every ounce of passion and kindness you have shared with me and with each other.”
Nancy Drew Season 4 premieres in 2023 on The CW.
