Go To


1	* ActingInTheDark: None of the actors were told the first season mystery's solution, even the one playing the culprit.
2	** Averted, however, with the revelation that Nancy [[spoiler: is the biological child of Lucy Sable and Ryan Hudson.]] Creator/ScottWolf, who plays Carson Drew, and Creator/RileySmith, who plays Ryan, were told about the secret from the start. Creator/KennedyMcMann (who plays Nancy Drew) figured the truth out on her own, appropriately enough.
3	* ActorSharedBackground: Adam Beach and Chief [=McGinnis=] are of First Nations origin, except that the former is Canadian.
4	* CaliforniaDoubling: Like most CW productions, the show is filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada, which doubles for Maine.
5	* ChannelHop: It was initially announced that Creator/ParamountPlus had picked up the series' streaming rights. However, it instead joined 2019 CW stablemates ''Series/{{Batwoman\|2019}}'' and ''Series/KatyKeene'' on Creator/HBOMax.
6	* DisabledCharacterDisabledActor: Just like Captain Thom in the show, Anthony Natale is also Deaf in real life.
7	* FakeAmerican:
8	** Chief [=McGinnis=] is played by Adam Beach, a Canadian of First Nations origin.
9	** Bess's played by British actress Maddison Jaizani. [[spoiler:Bess dropped her faux American accent by Season 1 mid finale as everyone knew by that point she's British.]]
10	* TheOtherDarrin: Andrew Airlie takes over from Martin Donovan as Everett Hudson.
11	* PromotedFanboy: Kennedy [=McMann=] mentioned in interviews that she read the ND novels before she went into acting and got the part for Nancy Drew. Which might explain how she figured out the truth about Nancy’s origins.[[note]]Her mom, Lisa [=McMann=], is a novel writer.[[/note]]
12	* RealLifeRelative: Shiloh Ryn Smith, Riley Smith's infant daughter, made two cameos as [[spoiler: Baby Lucy and Baby Nancy to highlight the StrongFamilyResemblance between the mother and daughter when they were both infants]].
13	* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Almost, [[https://tvline.com/news/nancy-drew-cancellation-reason-explained-series-finale-controversy-1235033256/ producer Larry Teng revealed that new CW owners Nexstar didn't notify them of the show's cancellation until their studio reached out to the new network brass on an unrelated matter]]. When they got the notice, the entire season was almost completely done, leading to the writers/producers having to scramble to create a conclusive finale.
14	* StockSoundEffects: Funnily enough, some of the sound effects used in the show can also be found in the Nancy Drew games.
15	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
16	** This show's initial concept was supposed to be based on the life of an adult Nancy Drew, played by Creator/SarahShahi in 2016. The concept never took off aside from the idea being pitched to TV and streaming service networks.
17	** Creator/FreddiePrinzeJr was initially announced as playing Carson Drew but Scott Wolf ultimately took over the role.
