In March 2019, Alex Saxon and Alvina August were cast in roles of main capacity as Ace Hardy and Karen Hart,[7] with Riley Smith and Scott Wolf joining the cast in May as characters Ryan Hudson and Carson Drew, more main roles.[8][9] Pamela Sue Martin, the actress who portrays Nancy Drew in a previous television series adaptation, The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries, also guest stars in the first season as a medium. The only character credited in a main role in the first season who does not appear in the next season is Karen Hart, portrayed by Alvina August. The third season will star Kennedy McMann, reprising her role of Nancy Drew from previous seasons, along with Leah Lewis as Georgia Fan, Maddison Jaizani as Bess Marvin, and Tunji Kasim as Ned Nickerson.[10]
