TV PILOTS: Lobster Shack Set for The CW’s NANCY DREW Pilot With Kennedy McMann & Freddie Prinze Jr. in Vancouver

CW Pilot Nancy Drew

Teen detective Nancy Drew opts out of college to spend the summer working at a local lobster shack where a murder takes place.

The CW pilot is at an empty restaurant at Sunset Marina on the Sea to Sky Highway turned into lobster shack, The Claw.

What’s the pilot about?

Having recently lost her mother, 18-year-old Nancy Drew is at odds with her attorney father Carson and working at a local lobster shack, instead of attending Columbia, as she intended. A dedicated super-sleuth since childhood, Nancy has sworn off detecting — but when a woman is killed outside the restaurant, and she and her co-workers and boyfriend Nick wind up suspects in the case, she decides to snoop around and find out whodunnit. Things take a creepy turn when it appears that a long-dead local girl may have been the killer. Even more shocking, however, is Nancy’s realization that Nick is the obvious suspect in the case — an investigation that, in the long run, may prove hazardous to Nancy’s health.

Kennedy McMann is the new Nancy Drew.

Freddie Prinze Jr. is her estranged father Carson.
