> Kennedy McMann has landed the title role in the CW’s untitled Nancy Drew drama pilot
>the untitled Nancy Drew project centers on 18-year-old Nancy Drew (McMann) and is set in the summer after her high school graduation. She thought she’d be leaving her hometown for college, but when a family tragedy holds her back another year, she finds herself embroiled in a ghostly murder investigation — and along the way, uncovers secrets that run deeper than she ever imagined. When Nancy ends up a suspect in a murder, it rekindles her love for detective work, even though the clues lead her to believe that a long-dead local girl may be the killer.
>Young British actor Tunji Kasim (Nearly Famous) is set as the sexy male lead opposite Kennedy McMann in the CW’s untitled Nancy Drew pilot
>Kasim will play Ned “Nick” Nickerson, Nancy’s secret muscular flame. Nick is a former high school athlete with a mysterious past and criminal record, who should be on full scholarship to a top university. Instead, he’s working as a car mechanic when, due to consensual sex with the victim, he winds up a suspect in the white woman's murder along with Nancy — leading her to uncover a shocking motive from his dark past. But whether Nick’s a victim of circumstance or something far more sinister remains to be seen.

Does anyone outside of Yea Forums notice this stuff?
>Stand back, Nancy, there's some sort of dark figure approaching.
forgot my image
Yes, everyone notices it, especially working class people who aren’t barely functioning liberal retards.
>sexy male lead
He looks like an even more inbred Will Poulter lfmao
Mutts often manage to look even odder than the pure non-white in many cases. It can create an odd clashing of features.
>sexy male lead
>secret muscular flame
This nigger looks like some undercooked mysterymeat.
Yeah what happened to that? I thought they said Sarah Shahi was cast
>sexy
You inserted this.
But seriously, I hate these fucking kikes.
a long time ago
we used to be friends
This mutt is aggressively ugly.
No.
Silly user he's just nu-handsome and that's a good thing!
blonde white girl and mixed weirido captured from a 3 ring circus. yep it's the CW.
Lol @ Nick Cannon being mixed.
I think “mixed” is just meant to denote what the term “colored” would formally imply. Not a mulatto, but not pure Sub-Saharan African either. The average American black is 20% white and it shows in contrast to pure West Africans.
He looks a little more normal here.

>The CW wants to shove poor Nancy Drew back into the TV reboot machine
Dear god, TV executives: Have you no sense of shame? It’s only been two short years since CBS last subjected the venerable Nancy Drew mystery franchise to the ravages of the TV Reboot Machine—that darkly churning clockwork of reimaginings, rejiggerings, and dark televisual necromancy—before ultimately passing on the pilot for Drew, which recreated the beloved teen detective as a world-weary adult cop played by the admittedly badass Sarah Shahi. (Fun fact: This was around the same period that the network was attempting to turn Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn into the heroes of their own public-domain-friendly legal thriller. Heady days.) The next year, NBC tried again, with a weirdly meta take on the franchise that would have seen author Carolyn Keene—not a real person, by the way—solving murders with the help of the childhood friends she based “her” characters on. That…also didn’t make it, on account of it being pretty palpably nuts.
But now, The CW apparently finds itself in need of some extra reserves of girlish pluck, and so the classic YA series is being revived yet again, this time at the hands of Gossip Girl creative team Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz. Written by The Magicians’ Noga Landau, the Schwartz and Savage series will see an 18-year-old Nancy—good start!—dealing with life in the immediate aftermath of graduating from high school.
The series would see her getting ready to head to college, but then, obviously, a murder happens, some dark secrets come up, a sexy old flame reemerges, etc. It is, in other words, Riverdale But It’s Nancy Drew This Time, but hey, you know what? We can’t even bring ourselves to be mad about that, since it at least kind of makes sense in terms of what you’d do with the Nancy Drew IP while making a TV show in 2018. Like, at least it’s not set in space, and at this point, that represents forward progress.
>Lol
She was Middle Eastern
comments from roasties and soibois:
>I’ve read quite a few Nancy Drew books, even to the point of going out and buying some of the Applewood originals (pros: Nancy feels like a real person, including being terrified of death; cons: racism, as in both Nancy and Ned are racist af; I don’t know whats: bizarre segueways where Nancy gets out her gun and blows away a rampaging animal), but words like “Riverdale” and “Josh Schwartz” make me likely to take a pass on this one.
>The same pros and cons come up in the early Hardy Boys books. The cons becoming terrifying in The Hidden Harbor Mystery, in which a racially stereotyped African-American servant leads a secret society, kidnaps a mentally ill man, and has such power that he keeps an ol’ timey Southern feud going. Plus, when the lynch mob comes, it’s only the white people who are in danger.
>Yikes. That...sounds like the ‘30s alright. One of the Applewood Nancy books I read had the villain as a miserly Jewish stereotype, complete with detailed depictions about his nose.
Is Nancy Drew basically Veronica Mars but without the anal rape.
can you imagine this dude as Ned?
This basically isn’t Ned except in name
why add sexy in?
he looks like one of them
Don’t do that to them
[synapses firing]
That’s because blacks are underrepresented in the media compared to whites.

>high school student yet already has a criminal history

Fantasy grounded in reality.
