Noga Landau previously worked as a writer and story editor for The Magicians, and shared her love for Nancy Drew going all the way back to Scholastic book fairs in school as a child.

Stephanie Savage has been a producer and writer on shows including The O.C., Gossip Girl, and Runaways, working on them with Josh Schwartz, who is credited on IMDB as the creator of this Nancy Drew series. Importantly, the Nancy Drew panel featured three women as executive producers. So too are the seeds of all manner of shenanigans that are likely to arise amid the deceptions and investigations during Nancy Drew’s first season. Though in the pilot they are naturally a long way from becoming a Buffy-style Scooby Gang, the seeds of teamwork and friendship are sown for the audience. Each of the characters around her are complex and layered, and all of them (including Nancy) are keeping secrets. As is typical for an origin-story episode, the pilot puts Nancy in the role of a reluctant heroine who has set aside her passion for solving mysteries – but gets back into her old skills pretty quickly once circumstances force her hand.

The pilot episode effectively carries out its most important purposes: getting the audience invested in Nancy as the central character, finding compelling ways to introduce the ensemble cast around her, and introducing the murder-mystery investigation that drives the overarching serial story. After seeing the episode and hearing from the panelists, I’m excited to see what Nancy Drew has to offer for a full season this fall. At San Diego Comic-Con, the show offered up the world premiere of its pilot episode followed by a panel with three executive producers and the five core young cast members. In an era when Hollywood is routinely rebooting or reviving classic properties, the new Nancy Drew television series paired with The CW network appears to be a natural fit.
