The latest trailer for The CW's 'Nancy Drew', starring Kennedy McMann in the titular role, shows the character's innate need to search for answers. 

"My parents called it curiosity," McMann's Nancy Drew says in the trailer. "Mysteries were everywhere and I loved solving them," until her mother's untimely death puts her plans on hold.

In this latest rendition by The CW, McMann's 18-year-old Nancy Drew, devastated by her mother's death, has put her college plans on hold.

She soon finds herself and her friends — her nemesis from high school George Fan (Leah Lewis), 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) — involved in a ghostly mystery.

A socialite is found murdered and, what's worse, they are not just witnesses as the police considers them prime suspects in the murder. 

Their suspicions are also revealed as apparently, the socialite was killed by a ghost — dead Lucy, who disappeared in 2000. "Tiffany Hudson, murdered by a ghost," she says in the trailer.

Drew notes that they have to solve the mystery fast to acquit themselves. They must team up to clear their own names while encountering emotional entanglements and even more mysteries along the way.

According to the official synopsis, Nancy’s reawakening brings her into conflict with her widowed father, Carson Drew (Scott Wolf), who is dating Detective Karen Hart (Alvina August).

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.

We don't know if Lucy is here to help or hinder Nancy, but one thing's for sure: the sleuth is going to have to unravel the clues from both the living and the dead to solve these crimes.

'Nancy Drew' will premiere on Wednesday, October 9, 2019, at 9/8c on The CW.
