Hooray! For the last time, Drew’s team got back together. The final season of the CW supernatural detective series. Nancy Drew began airing May 31st. The story of Nancy Drew has been a rallying point for many for decades. The young mystery solver’s stories have been retold several times using various mediums from books, films, television and games. And now, the last iteration that sees Kennedy McMann to play the lead role is coming to an end, and the star opened up about what viewers can expect from the series finale.

Following the release of the first episode of the final season, titled “The Curse of Lovers’ Dilemma,” McMann spoke to Entertainment Weekly about what fans can expect when the series concludes. “This is definitely a growth season for everyone,” McMann says. “Finding out who they are and how they’re going to use all these skills they’ve accumulated in all their ghost hunting adventures and what purpose drives their lives.” The scene in the trailer exuded tension and the prospect of death for someone close to Nancy. Referring to the cohesiveness of the crew, McMann adds, “I don’t want this to scare anyone into thinking the whole crew isn’t going to be together because we’re definitely together for most of the season. And then, in terms of our core mystery, it’s really rooted in the city’s history. It’s really heavily explored this season in a way that connects closely with all of the characters. A real holiday is ahead.”

Will Nancy and Ace be able to break their curse?

The final season picks up where the investigators left off the previous season. This includes, of course, a little question about the curse placed on Nancy by Temperance (Olivia Taylor Dudley) regarding her feelings for Ace (Alex Saxon). Any love between a couple is doomed to fail, and for this reason, Nancy constantly dumps Ace. However, she finally instilled confidence in him, and McMann believes: “It’s like a wave of information and context that finally fills all these holes for him in that he had a huge confusion about why Nancy is turning with him the way she was before. treat him.” But does this revelation stop him? Of course not: “It really turns him on, and he definitely gets the passion to go against what Nancy hopes to do.” The end game here is simple: “He wants to go all out and see what he can do to change her mind and get them to work together to break the curse.”
