The Drew Crew is the dream team or what? Following the very surprising success of the first season of The CW's 'Nancy Drew', the creators of the show are now in talks with the network for developing a new spinoff series for the 'Drew-niverse'. A new mystery drama titled 'Tom Swift' (yes, that Tom Swift!), a spin-off from 'Nancy Drew' is now in development at The CW. 

Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming 'Nancy Drew' spin-off series. Stay tuned for MEAWW will update this article as and when new updates are released. 

Release date

The official release date for the 'Nancy Drew' spin-off series 'Tom Swift' is not released yet since the show is still in development. But it looks like we might get a sneak peek into the character sooner than we had imagined. The CW is planning for a Tom Swift appearance in the upcoming Season 2 of 'Nancy Drew', which is going to premiere on January 20, 2021. This will introduce the character to the universe, opening the doors for the pilot episode. According to reports, the appearance will "see him crash into one of Nancy's investigations. She interprets the event as supernatural, while Tom believes it to be cosmically paranormal."

This is already a cause of much rejoice among fans of 'Nancy Drew' and the character developed by Edward Stratemeyer 'Tom Swift'. "I can't wait to see the Tom Swift pilot and I still hope that CW will greenlight the pilot become the newest CW series," one tweeted.



 

Plot

The show, which will be ordered to series depending on the success of the pilot, will focus on Tom Swift and will follow "the serialized adventures of its titular Black, gay, billionaire inventor who is thrust into a world of sci-fi conspiracy and unexplained phenomena after the shocking disappearance of his father. Tom takes to the road on a quest to unravel the truth, leaving behind the comforts of his usual moneyed lifestyle, all while fighting to stay one step ahead of an Illuminati-scale group hell-bent on stopping him. His missions will require his genius and flair for innovation guided by love, romance, friendship and the mysteries of the universe yet-unsolved."
