Whether the ghost is here to help, or hinder Nancy remains to be seen, but one thing’s for sure: Nancy’s going to have to unravel the clues from both the living and the dead to solve the crimes. And, when a supernatural presence begins to haunt Nancy’s investigation, she discovers that the current crime has an astonishing connection to the unsolved murder of a local girl.

Nancy’s reawakening brings her into conflict with her widowed father, Carson Drew ( Scott Wolf), who is dating Detective Karen Hart ( Alvina August). The five of them must team up to clear their own names – encountering emotional entanglements and even more mysteries along the way. But when a socialite is murdered, Nancy finds herself a prime suspect in the crime, along with a group of other teens present at the scene: Nancy’s nemesis from high school, George Fan ( Leah Lewis) a rich girl with a mysterious past, Bess Marvin ( Maddison Jaizani) Nancy’s secret boyfriend, Ned “Nick” Nickerson ( Tunji Kasim), and amiable burnout Ace ( Alex Saxon). Devastated by her mother’s passing, Nancy swears off crime-solving while crossing off the days until she can re-apply to college. Official synopsis of season 1 from The CW: Nancy Drew ( Kennedy McMann) is a brilliant teenaged detective whose sense of self had come from solving mysteries in her hometown of Horseshoe Bay, Maine – until her mother’s untimely death derails Nancy’s college plans.
