March 1, 2016 by Gary Collinson

CBS has found its Nancy Drew for the upcoming TV pilot Drew, casting actress Sarah Shahi (Person of Interest, The L Word) as the famous sleuth, The Hollywood Reporter has revealed.

Drew finds Nancy now in her thirties “and serving as a detective for the NYPD, where she investigates and solves crimes using her uncanny observational skills, all while navigating the complexities of life in a modern world.”

Shahi joins a cast that so far includes Anthony Edwards (ER) as Nancy’s adoptive father, Vanessa Ferlito (Graceland) as childhood friend George and Felix Solis (Colony) as a fellow detective.
