As filming kicked off on season 4 of Nancy Drew, cast members including Kennedy McMann have offered fans a glimpse at the process.
In July 2022, the actress took to social media to show her reunion with onscreen dads Scott Wolf and Riley Smith. “Right after this I explained what ‘rick rolling’ is so if we don’t embody a true fathers daughter relationship I don’t know who does,” she captioned the photos via Twitter.
Season 4 of Nancy Drew explored Nancy’s relationships with her loved ones. The sleuth’s decision to kill Temperance in order to save Horseshoe Bay will influence Nancy’s life — and her romance with Ace (Alex Saxon).
“[It’s] going to be a season of intense yearning for both of them,” executive producer Noga Landau teased during an interview with Entertainment Weekly in January 2022. “It’s only ramping it up even more, for sure. For me, this show is always about the simmering love and yearning — for multiple characters, but especially for Nancy and now for Nancy and Ace together.”
Fellow executive producer Melinda Hsu Taylor, for her part, pointed out that the events in season 3 will influence the way the people come together. “I feel like one of the reasons that people gravitate to our show, in my opinion, is because it reminds them that there is this human connection out there, you know?” she shared with TV Insider. “In Nancy’s world, people are not wearing face masks, there’s no pandemic and people are still interacting with each other in this kind of larger system of connections. And I think it feels good to be reminded of that.”
