Kennedy McMann who plays the titular character in the series Nancy Drew , loves how the character has been reimagined in this version of the story: “I think the history that Nancy Drew has as a character is so extraordinary and she served as a heroine for generations and generations. I think that this is a modern Nancy. She is relatable. She’s someone that I think that the audience can look up to and relate to the experiences and the struggles that she has. I think that that’s what will bring people to love the show.”
She adds, “Not only is it funny, there’s mystery, a lot of mystery I don’t even know the answer to. I think that will have people coming back. I mean, at the end of the day, yes, it’s mystery and there’s a cool supernatural element, but it’s very human. The relationships are human. And that’s what I think is so beautiful about not depicting Nancy as this perfect, completely put-together robot girl. She’s an 18-year-old.”
The actor says that the genre of the show falls in a special niche. “I mean, it’s mystery, its drama, but there’s a lot of light comedy in it as well. But then there are elements where the thriller stuff comes into play, which I think will be really exciting for audiences.”
Kennedy also says that it’s been a blast working with the rest of her castmates: “They’re all so incredibly supportive! It’s been all positive. It’s a dream come true.”
