We are all quite fond of the teenage detective Nancy Drew, so the fact that she's finally getting a show on The CW is absolutely great news! It's been quite a while since the books hit the markets, but we're excited about watching Nancy Drew online this time around.

Since the 30s when Nancy Drew books were first published, there's been a lot of film and series adaptations. In fact, The CW show will be the third Nancy Drew TV series, but we have lost track of the number of films and PC games carrying the franchise.

Kennedy McMahon is playing Nancy Drew, while Tunji Kasim is playing Ned Nickerson. George and Bess are making it on the show as well, don't worry!

When and Where to Watch Nancy Drew?

Nancy Drew is premiering on The CW on October 9th at 9 PM. That should be pretty easy to remember, right? It is unclear how many episodes the show will have, but The CW usually orders around 22 episodes per season for all its shows.

YouTube TV - We also have YouTube TV on the list, which offers all subscribers unlimited cloud DVR storage space and three simultaneous streams to enjoy their favorite shows. You can't add any channel packs here since they're missing, but there are plenty of premium options available.

What Can I Do to Watch Nancy Drew Outside of the United States?

Whenever you travel abroad you are unable to access live TV services and streaming platforms for one simple reason - they have to respect the licensing deals they signed. In short, when you leave the country, you no longer have access to any content, even if you pay for it. We know this can be quite inconvenient, so we thought to share the solution with you - VPNs. VPN tools can help change your IP address so the site thinks you are in the US and not halfway across the globe. We can only recommend the best here, so try out ExpressVPN, which has thousands of servers across the world, dozens in the US, and will keep your privacy safe.

Here's what you need to do to use ExpressVPN to watch Nancy Drew outside of the United States:

Can I Watch Nancy Drew on the CW Website?

Sadly, The CW website doesn't come with a live stream, unlike many other channel websites. In short, if you want to watch Nancy Drew live without cable, you're going to need fuboTV, Hulu, or YouTube TV.

The CW comes with a special app that you can download on your device, but it will only grant you access to content after it aired. The app works on iOS, Android, Amazon Fire, Roku, Chromecast, Android TV, Apple TV, Xbox One, and Amazon Fire TV.

Can I Watch Nancy Drew With a TV Antenna?

TV antennas are great devices because they are cheap and they allow people to watch dozens of TV channels for free, depending on where you live. The CW is one of the few channels that still broadcast over the air, so you can still watch Nandy Drew with an antenna.
