“#LeVar Burton to Voice Barclay in ‘Nancy Drew’ Spinoff ‘Tom Swift’<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

LeVar Burton is set to app<\/a>ear in this week\u2019s episode of Nancy Drew<\/em>, which will serve as a backdoor pilot for a potential Tom Swift<\/em> spin-off series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em> actor will voice Barclay, Tom Swift\u2019s steadfast AI companion and tough-love mentor. Barclay is described as \u201cTom\u2019s Hype Man, Tom\u2019s confidante and Tom\u2019s friend\u201d who was created by the young genius at just eight years old. Barclay has been with Tom ever since, hopping from his smartwatch, his tablet, his laptop, and even the screens of his car to offer advice, analysis, and encouragement.<\/p>\n

Tian Richards (The Quad<\/em>) will play the titular Tom Swift, the billionaire inventor who is thrown into a world of sci-fi conspiracy and unexplained phenomena after his father mysteriously disappears. With Barclay by his side, Tom heads out on a quest to find the truth, leaving behind his luxury comforts to battle and stay one step ahead of an Illuminati-scale group determined to stop him.<\/p>\n

The adventure kicks off in the May 12 episode of Nancy Drew <\/em>when Tom crashes into one of Nancy\u2019s investigations, an event that the pair believe has potentially supernatural or paranormal consequences.<\/p>\n

Tom Swift<\/em> is produced by Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage\u2019s Fake Empire and CBS Studios and co-created by Melinda Hsu Taylor and Noga Landau (showrunner and co-creator of Nancy Drew<\/em>, respectively) alongside Cameron Johnson (Empire<\/em>). Taylor and Landau will write and executive produce the show.<\/p>\n

Burton, known for his role as Kunta Kinte in the ABC miniseries Roots<\/em> and as the longtime host of the PBS Kids educational television series Reading Rainbow<\/em>, recently launched the LeVar Burton Book Club in partnership with Fable, the social<\/a> reading app. The app allows members to read together \u201cwhile sharing highlights, comments, links, and pictures to discuss books\u201d with the aim to help build \u201chuman connections.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a lifelong advocate for literacy, the opportunity to launch my book club on Fable\u2019s wonderful new platform is extremely exciting and timely,\u201d Burton said in a statement Tuesday. \u201cThis partnership will help foster the importance of storytelling while sharing my love of reading.\u201d<\/p>\n

The award-winning actor is also set to guest host Jeopardy!<\/em> over the summer.<\/p>\n

Nancy Drew,<\/em> Wednesday, 9\/8c, The CW.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
