Based on the popular, long-running book series by Carolyn Keene, Nancy Drew premiered on the CW in October 2019. The show follows the titular sleuth (Kennedy McMann) as she and her friends solve mysteries in the fictional town of Horseshoe Bay, Maine. Full of twists, turns and supernatural elements, the darker and more mature series will return later this month.

Here's everything we know for the upcoming second season.

Nancy Drew's Story So Far

Following her mother's death, Nancy puts her college plans on hold and begins working as a waitress, abandoning her hobby of solving mysteries in the process. Lonely and frustrated, Nancy is roped back into the world of sleuthing when she and the Drew Crew, a.k.a. George, Bess, Nick and Ace, become suspects in the murder of socialite Tiffany Hudson. It isn't long before Nancy connects Tiffany's murder to that of Lucy Sable, the former Sea Queen of Horseshoe Bay, whose ghost is haunting the town.

Throughout the season, Nancy and the Drew Crew uncover many buried secrets, including the revelation that Nancy is Lucy's biological daughter. The former Sea Queen gave Nancy to Carson Drew and his wife, Katherine, before killing herself. Ryan Hudson -- Lucy's boyfriend and Nancy's biological father -- is initially a suspect in Lucy and Tiffany's deaths; however, Nancy soon discovers that Joshua, Lucy's brother, believed Ryan was responsible for her death and attempted to poison his salad, but it was served to Tiffany.

Throughout the season, each of the Drew Crew deals with personal drama. Nancy must come to terms with the truth about her parents. She also works to clear the name of her adoptive father, Carson, after he is arrested by his ex-girlfriend, Detective Karen. Bess also must uncover the secrets of her own parentage. Meanwhile, George, who at one point becomes possessed by Tiffany's spirit, has a love affair with Ryan, but she has feelings for Nick.

Nancy and her friends are also plagued by visions of their impending deaths after summoning the sea spirit Aglaeca. The spirit gives the gang Lucy's bones and demands a blood sacrifice from Nancy's boyfriend, Owen, who is murdered by Joshua. Nancy severs the connection to the creature, prompting it to curse the gang with gruesome visions.

Nancy Drew's Season 2 Plot

According to the official Season 2 synopsis, Nancy and her friends must work together to stop Agaleca before their horrific visions come true. However, nothing is ever simple for the Drew Crew, and complications arise when a detective arrives in Horseshoe Bay, and he believes Nancy's responsible for the assault on a comatose girl.
