Sarah Shahi cast as Nancy Drew

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.
