Tian Richards is guest starring on an all new episode of Nancy Drew, airing TONIGHT (May 12)!
The actor has a prominent role in the episode, titled, “The Celestial Visitor,” as it is serving as the Tom Swift backdoor pilot.
Here’s a synopsis: As things begin to go haywire at The Claw, a striking stranger appears looking for Nancy (Kennedy McMann), and announces himself as the billionaire Tom Swift (Richards). Meanwhile, Ace (Alex Saxon) has issues with the way Nancy insists on handling things with Celia (guest star Teryl Rothery).
The “Bandwidth” trailer teases that we’ll see Nancy Drew “like you’ve never seen her before.”
“When I close my eyes, all I can think about is what’s waiting for us,” Kennedy can be heard saying in the clip.
In case you missed it, a Nancy Drew spinoff is in the works – Tom Swift. The possible series will air a backdoor pilot in season two, and follow Tom Swift, a Black, gay billionaire inventor who is thrust into a world of sci-fi conspiracy after the disappearance of his father.
Nancy Drew‘s season two will premiere on Wednesday, January 20th after the premiere of Riverdale.
