What will it take for Nancy to forge a real relationship with him? We really see Nancy struggling with the reality that Ryan Hudson is her birth father, which still sounds strange to say. How do I want to spend that? Who do I want to spend it with? How do I want to leave things and do I want to tell anybody? Do I want to tell the people I care about that aren't involved in this about what might happen? A lot of the characters are dealing with the fact that this might be my last few days on Earth. I think it puts a lot of things into perspective and it'll accelerate a lot of relationships - both of people reconciling perhaps or the romances that are in play. It definitely changes things for all of them. How does this foreshadowing of their deaths accelerate how Nancy and her friends go about their lives and solving this mystery? It was so exhilarating to see that because I love that we see it fully played out in that way because it's like, Look, this is the way it's going to happen. And then to have that come at the end, it's just this looming horror that they know is coming. I mean, we knew that the Aglaeca was still up in the air, but obviously the episode is so intense with dealing with Owen's death and with Josh. It was so interesting to see the different routes that they took with the way each of us might die. What was your reaction to reading that final scene? Were you a bit stunned that Nancy jumping off a cliff, paralleling Lucy Sable's death, could be how she goes? What a way to end the season.Ĭan we talk about that crazy ending? They all know that the Aglaeca curse can turn deadly at any moment. I definitely am not aware of it, but it works perfectly as a season finale because you're seeing all of us see our deaths. And it's like, well yikes, here we are. I actually don't know if they changed anything. Was Wednesday's episode tweaked at all to fit more of a finale feel? ‘Nancy Drew’ Star Scott Wolf Reveals Mysteries From Set (Exclusive) I think that'll be what launches us into season two from my understanding, but we shall see. But yeah, we have those things to deal with. And horrible loose threads with Carson and with Ryan and it just like sinks your heart so bad. And then obviously we have all these relationships that are sort of hanging in the balance. So that's set up really nicely to launch us into season two. That's a big, big deal and I think will take us a couple episodes to resolve, if not more than that. We are definitely set up with the Aglaeca storyline to carry us over to season two. We just really don't know because everything is ever-changing. We definitely had some talks and all of that kind of stuff, but it's all very unclear about how things are going to pick up. To break down the finale, ET hopped on the phone with leading lady Kennedy McMann to get the scoop on that crazy cliffhanger, what the original plans were for the four unproduced episodes and a look ahead to the new season.ĮT: Because the season was cut short, did you talk to executive producers Melinda Hsu Taylor and Noga Landau about where the story was going and what they were planning to do? While the mystery of Owen's killer was resolved (it was Lucy's brother, Josh, who delivered the fatal blow), there was so many questions left unanswered, from the aftermath of Nancy's parentage twist (bye Drew, hello Hudson?) to a potential new romance, that season two will be brimming with possibilities. Because Nancy Drew was forced to shelve four episodes when it abruptly shut down due to the coronavirus outbreak, it was kismet that Wednesday's episode - which wasn't intended to be the freshman season's final hour - ended in such dramatic fashion.
