Nancy Drew is older and wiser in new series in development for TV
The beloved heroine of schoolgirl generations past, Nancy Drew, is headed to the small screen again, but this time there's a twist.
(AFP) The beloved heroine of schoolgirl generations past, Nancy Drew, is headed to the small screen.
But unlike the innocent, plucky teenager with a curious and uncanny nose for solving relatively innocuous mysteries, the version created by CBS will bring an older, more seasoned woman to the screen, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Now in her 30s, Drew is made into a detective for the NYPD, where her powers of observation are used to solve more gruesome crimes.
It's not the first time Drew has been brought to life for TV. In the late 1970s, network ABC aired "The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries" for three seasons. The series starred Pamela Sue Martin as Drew.
The contemporary version of the show will be helmed by "Grey's Anatomy" alums Joan Rater and Tony Phelan.
