And who better to take up the project than the master of the young adult thriller, Hulu. Read on to find out all you need to know about the upcoming reboot!

Plot
According to the official synopsis on IMDb, "When the Hardy Boys, Frank and Joe and their father, Fenton arrive in Bridgeport they set out to uncover the truth behind the recent tragedy that has changed their lives, and in doing so, uncover something much more sinister."

Creator
Based on the original work by Edward Stratemeyer and Franklin W. Dixon, the Hulu series is directed by Jason Stone, Melanie Orr, Jeff Renfroe, and Casey Walker.
Trailer
It's the thriller tragedy that 'Riverdale' tried so hard to be, but could never get out of its own vapidity to achieve. Hulu's trailer for 'The Hardy Boys' is a perfect mix of teasing horror that keeps you on the edge of your seat, rooting for kids the way we did in 'It' or even Netflix's 'Dark' for that matter. The gradual despair in the soundtrack makes those carnival scenes and jukebox fun a brilliant contrast in comparison. Check out the treat for yourself right here:
