THE CW's TOM SWIFT
- Tian Richards will play the title role on the potential Nancy Drew spinoff which will produce a backdoor pilot later this year. He previously appeared in the Netflix film Dumplin'. He has also recurred on BET's Being Mary Jane and BET's The Quad.
- In the planted spinoff episode of the second season, Tom Swift (Richards) will crash into one of Nancy Drew's (Kennedy McMann) investigations, an event which Nancy interprets as supernatural and Tom believes to be cosmically paranormal.
- The prospective new drama follows the serialized adventures of Tom Swift, a Black, gay, billionaire investor who is thrust into a world of sci-fi conspiracy and unexplained phenomena after the shocking disappearance of his father. Tom takes to the road on a quest to unravel the truth, leaving behind the comforts of his usual moneyed lifestyle, all while fighting to stay one step ahead of an Illuminati-scale group hellbent on stopping him. His missions will require his genius and flair for innovation guided by love, romance, friendship and the mysteries of the universe yet-unsolved.
