Executive produced by Noga Landau (“The Magicians”), Melinda Hsu Taylor (“The Gifted,” “The Vampire Diaries”), Josh Schwartz (“Gossip Girl,” “Dynasty,” “Runaways”), Stephanie Savage (“Gossip Girl,” “Dynasty,” “Runaways”) and Lis Rowinski (“Dynasty,” “Runaways”), NANCY DREW is a production of CBS Television Studios in association with Fake Empire. 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.

Apparently Pamela (who would star on Dynasty) had properly read the writing on the wall, because in season three Nancy Drew was dropped completely and the show was simply retitled The Hardy Boys.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. Midway through the season, an unhappy Pamela left the series, to be replaced by actress Janet Louise Johnson. That may have been the intent, but as time went on, the Nancy Drew character was continually diminished in favor of the Hardys.

But then in the middle of the show’s second season, the decision was made to have the trio solve mysteries together. As originally conceived, Nancy would alternate adventures with amateur detective brothers Frank and Joe Hardy, with episodes either focusing on her or on the boys. In 1977, Pamela found herself costarring with Parker Stevenson and Shaun Cassidy in The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries.

According to Deadline, Pamela will be playing Harriet Grosset, who the site describes as “a small-town psychic who offers her talents to help Nancy investigate a murder - and ends up delivering an otherworldly clue that neither of them bargained for.” Whether she sticks around beyond the pilot should it go to series is anybody’s guess at this point.
