“#’Nancy Drew’ Bosses on That Finale Heartbreak and What Might Come Next<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

[WARNING: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for the Season 3 finale of Nancy Drew<\/em>, \u201cThe Ransom of the Forsaken Soul.\u201d So unless you are caught up, go hide behind the veil that protects Horseshoe Bay from Temperance\u2019s evil plan.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

The end of the world as Nancy (Kennedy McMann) knows it was averted, thanks to some crafty Scooby-squad assistance. But just because our gumshoe was able to vanquish soul-stealing witchypoo Temperance Hudson (Olivia Taylor-Dudley), that doesn\u2019t mean her world wasn\u2019t completely upended in the process. The Copperhead may have been stealing hearts all season, but this finale twist ripped ours right out of our chests.<\/p>\n

Reeling from the fatal showdown\u2014which wound up killing Ryan (Riley Smith) as well as Temperance, thanks to a shard of the cursed hatchet used to kill her\u2014a morose Nancy re-emerged a month later to see her friends again and admitted to Ace (Alex Saxon) that she was guilt-ridden over taking Temperance\u2019s life. Because Ace is awesome, he then took her on a walking tour of their town and pointed out everyone she had saved. Before long, she was feeling a bit better. So much so that she finally addressed his romantic confession last week and let him know she was on the same page. Seconds later, they were in the same bed and giving fans everything we wanted.<\/p>\n

\"Nancy<\/p>\n

Colin Bentley\/The CW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Their joy (and ours) was short-lived, however, as they were involved in a horrific car crash after leaving the community center\u2019s going-away party for Nick (Tunji Kasim<\/a>). Cradling a dead Ace in her arms, Nancy was stunned to see a still-alive Temperance, who revealed that she had planted an anchor in Nancy\u2019s head following their mind-weave \u201cin case of an emergency.\u201d She then explained that everything Nancy was experiencing was \u201ca simple forecast of what your life would be like if<\/em> you kill me,\u201d that she was basically in a \u201cpause\u201d back at the Veil, stuck between choosing to save Temperance or off her. If Nancy decided to let her live and finish her plan to destroy Horseshoe Bay, she and Ace would get to live happ<\/a>ily ever after. If she stopped her, well, then the couple would be cursed for eternity\u2026should they ever act on their feelings again, Ace dies.<\/p>\n

Here, showrunner Noga Landau and executive producer Melinda Hsu Taylor explain Nancy\u2019s ultimate choice, where we go from here, and how a potential Season 4 could look. So let\u2019s get that renewal together, The CW!!<\/p>\n

Oh my God, you two! I understand Nancy choosing to save her town, but now she is making a choice that I question. Because given everything that they\u2019ve gone through, why not just tell Ace about Temperance\u2019s curse?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Noga Landau:<\/strong> Oh, that\u2019s a great question. So\u2026first of all, she doesn\u2019t know for sure yet if telling him would just instantly trigger the curse. Because Temperance is really sneaky and she might have built that in there. You see when all that Nancy does is almost<\/em> kiss him and the barometer breaks. So there\u2019s that. But I also think Nancy knows on some level that if she tells Ace the truth, then Ace would stop at nothing to undo the curse and that<\/em> will likely trigger the curse. They\u2019ve learned by now that you shouldn\u2019t try and mess with Temperance\u2019s magic; it\u2019s very risky. So I think she\u2019s doing this to protect him and herself.<\/p>\n

Ace is no dummy and he\u2019s seen this behavior in her before. How soon do you imagine he\u2019ll figure this out?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Melinda Hsu Taylor:<\/strong> Not that long. I mean, I think it\u2019s a big question on his mind coming into hopefully Season 4. At the end, when she leaves his apartment, he says, \u201cAre you in trouble? What are you hiding from me?\u201d So he needs to figure that out. And I think that there will be other things for Nancy to be in trouble with, so maybe<\/em> she\u2019ll be able to divert him for a little bit? But as an audience member, I want him to know very soon and for her to deny, deny, deny.<\/p>\n

Now, how long did you have this Ace curse up your sleeves?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Landau:<\/strong> Not as long as it might seem. [Laughs<\/em>] It kinda came in the middle of breaking the episode, to be honest.<\/p>\n

Taylor:<\/strong> I wanna give Noga credit for saying, \u201cWe need them to be star-crossed. How can we make it so that there is essentially a reason they can never be together?\u201d And then we\u2019re thinking about how to structure it and how to do a little sleight-of-hand so we could give people what they wanted and yet also give them what they needed, which is star-crossed.<\/p>\n

Landau:<\/strong> And I wanna give Melinda credit for literally uttering the phrase that changed everything, which was \u2014 and bear with us, Damian \u2014 \u201cHave you ever seen The Last Temptation of Christ?\u201d [Laughs<\/em>]<\/p>\n

Oh, right. Because that entire thing plays out while he is dying on the cross!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Landau: <\/strong>That\u2019s right. And when she said that, we were both like, \u201cHoly s**t\u2026that\u2019s how we can do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Taylor:<\/strong> There\u2019s also The Green Knight<\/em>, which was more recent; they use the same convention, you know?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s such a crafty misdirection because I was thinking that in Season 3, bodies can start dropping and I was so afraid you were going to kill Ryan (Riley Smith). And then you did! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Taylor:<\/strong> He even [mentions] the family curse, how the Hudsons have early demises.<\/p>\n

So you get to resolve Temperance\u2019s arc, save the town, kill Ryan and Ace in the \u201cpause\u201d sequence and all of that is the supernatural stuff. But with this show, I always say you come for the scares and stay for the squad. So I have questions\u2026why did Nick and George (Leah Lewis) have to break up and stay apart?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taylor:<\/strong> Mmmmm. Well, you know, one thing that we talked about early on was, it is<\/em> a little early to get married when you\u2019re 18 or 19. I\u2019m not saying it never works out, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s wrong to wait a second. If you feel like it\u2019s true love then, it\u2019d still be true love at 20, you know? Maybe that\u2019s not for me to say, but I also know that narratively, we are very excited about the possibilities for them as individuals and we didn\u2019t want their stories to be defined by each other all the time.<\/p>\n

\"Nancy<\/p>\n

Colin Bentley\/The CW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Interesting. And this does spin them out into a little bit more adult material, like George considering law school and working with Carson (Scott Wolf), which I thought was such a sly way of getting them both fun material.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Landau:<\/strong> Oh yeah. Carson plus anybody is just great. One of the wonderful things about working on the show is that literally any combination of people results in this delightfully different and terrific dynamic.<\/p>\n

Now\u2026George does have a history of being attracted to older guys. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Taylor:<\/strong> Oh, god no, no, no, no!<\/p>\n

Landau:<\/strong> [Laughs<\/em>] No, no! Don\u2019t worry, Damian. No, Carson is with Jean now and they\u2019re gonna have a story in Season 4.<\/p>\n

\"Nancy<\/p>\n

Colin Bentley\/The CW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Oh, thank God. And Bess (Maddison Jaizani), given her embrace of magic, I feel like she is positioned \u2014 fingers crossed for a Season 4 \u2014 to be the one most likely to be corrupted.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Landau:<\/strong> Interesting. Because she\u2019s really got everything to lose, right? And she really holds the treasure chest now mm-hmm and she has to protect it.<\/p>\n

But of all of them, she gets the happiest resolution to the season. Ryan is probably the most in physical danger, which deeply concerns me because he is the most improved character ever. Love him as Dad 2.0!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Landau:<\/strong> [Laughs<\/em>] Yeah, he\u2019s gonna get a little embroiled in some shady stuff that he didn\u2019t ask to be a part of.<\/p>\n

And how much of that is connected to the kicker with the missing bodies?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Landau:<\/strong> Oh, it\u2019s connected.<\/p>\n

Taylor:<\/strong> We have to keep knocking wood and holding our breath about a possible Season 4, but in our daydreaming moments, we definitely think it\u2019s connected.<\/p>\n

\"Nancy<\/p>\n

Colin Bentley\/The CW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

At the very end, you also bring in the Nickersons. How is this going to impact Nick (Tunji Kasim)?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Landau:<\/strong> We\u2019ve dealt really deeply with everybody else\u2019s families on the show but there\u2019s only really been one big episode that\u2019s about Nick\u2019s connection to his family. We would always talk about him having a very stable home life, you know, that his parents were together and solid in their marriage and there wasn\u2019t drama on that front, but that he had been raised with standards. We saw that with his mom coming to town and we love that about him. We love how he kind of snaps to attention around her. What we haven\u2019t talked at length about is his dad because we\u2019ve had several different ideas for his dad, which didn\u2019t pan out because of [scheduling]. So it\u2019s a little bit of a blank slate in an exciting way because we do have so many ideas. And we\u2019ve talked to Tunji about this, you know, to kind of get his ideas for what would be interesting to him personally. We love to get the actors input on their characters.<\/p>\n

With Nancy and Ace sent to their own corners, as showrunners and writers, what a perfect time to introduce possible new distractions?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Landau:<\/strong> [Laughs<\/em>] Never know. You never know.<\/p>\n

Ace has a new job and I\u2019m assuming that the morgue is not a one-man position. What have you already bounced off whiteboard about what could come next?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taylor:<\/strong> That\u2019s so interesting. First of all, just with Connor the coroner (Giacomo Baessato), I had thoughts of them working together. We actually had a scene originally where the two of them were commiserating about women over a corpse; that would kind of be their morning. A lot of \u201cWomen, amirite?\u201d [Laughs<\/em>]<\/p>\n

Taylor:<\/strong> Also, we kicked around an idea, originally in the blizzard story, where Ace got stuck in the morgue and there were ghosts in there with him. So who knows what might happen at that point?<\/p>\n

Like perhaps a supernatural romance?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taylor:<\/strong> I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s just a thought that a morgue is where ghosts might hang out.<\/p>\n

What you leave us with in the graveyard\u2026what can you tell me about what that evil would be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Landau:<\/strong> Well, what\u2019s cool about what we did this season is we had Nancy basically avert a supernatural apocalypse. Which is big<\/em>. So what we\u2019re really excited about for Season 4 \u2014 knock on wood \u2014 is sort of a return to our roots where it\u2019s Nancy and her beanie and a flashlight in a graveyard investigating a very crazy mystery. Perhaps there are ghosts involved, perhaps there are town secrets involved. We were really excited to both return to our roots, but also show how much we\u2019ve changed and grown as a show.<\/p>\n

OK so getting a little bit more micro. It\u2019s cool that you mention the town\u2019s secrets because that scene of Ace walking Nancy through town and telling us about all the people she saved almost felt like you were opening up the story of this town beyond The Claw.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Landau:<\/strong> For sure. And at least at the beginning of Season 4, we are still going to be talking about a town that is reeling from a very scary disaster. We broke this [finale] episode right around the anniversary of September 11th and it was a big reminder to us in the writer\u2019s room, how people\u2019s individual identities and their outlook on life changes when they share a big disaster.<\/p>\n

Taylor:<\/strong> Also, you know, it brings people together as a community. I\u2019m really glad you pointed out the main street walk-and-talk stuff because I grew up in a really small town and you kind of know everybody and no matter where you go, you run into someone and you have some kind of history with them. And so 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? In Nancy\u2019s world, people are not wearing face masks, there\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
