TV PILOTS: NANCY DREW Pilot Turns Horseshoe Bay, B.C. into Horseshoe Bay, Maine

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

Films: March 25th to April 9th.

Cast: Kennedy McMann, Freddie Prinze Jr., Aliva August, Leah Lewis, Tunji Kasim, Maddison Jaizani, Alex Saxon.

Having recently lost her mother, 18-year-old Nancy Drew (Kennedy McMann) is at odds with her attorney father Carson (Freddie Prinze Jr.) 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.

Writer/Producer: Melinda Hsu Taylor.

Director: Larry Teng.
