CBS' new Nancy Drew will look very different should the network move forward with the reboot.
CBS Entertainment president Glenn Geller revealed Tuesday that the network's reimagining of the iconic character will be diverse.
"She is diverse, that is the way she is written," the executive told THR immediately following his time in front of the press at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour Tuesday. While Geller said it was too early in the process to explain just what he meant by diverse - whether Nancy is African-American, Asian-American or Latino, he said it would hinge on finding the right actress for the part. "[She will[ not [be] Caucasian," he stressed. "I'd be open to any ethnicity."(snip)
The news comes a day after Netflix announced it was teaming with Norman Lear for an all-Latino remake of his classic sitcom One Day at a Time, as networks make diversity a priority in a bid to attract new underrepresented communities and better reflect society.
During his time in front of the press Tuesday, Geller stressed that diversity is playing a major role in his development season. "We have a lot of new series in development, both series targeted to have full African-American or Latino casts but also many leads that are being developed [as diverse]. We're not casting color blind, we're casting color conscious," he said.

MacKenzie Phillips has admitted to having several sexual relations with her father at the time she was a star on ODAT.
Her father is John Phillips of The Mammas and the Pappas fame.
Too much brown nosing and in the process got bent.
Annie was changed to a little black girl so the next icon to be un-whited is Nancy. How about they make HER a XY who's doing detective work to pay for his sex change surgery. Geez, he's such a Nancy. HER deceased mother can be a Muslim Philipino and HER rich Catholic dad can be Chapo, the Mexican drug lord who's second "wife" is that lib Caucasian movie star, Penn.
You have that right! Pamela Sue Martin! Remember her Playboy pix?!
Castillians. Funny most Americans think Mexico is run by border type Mexicans. It is not. It is run by European descent Spaniards.
Agreed
Come on, Nancy Drew has always featured diversity. Her best friend was a butchy girl that she called ‘George’. Easy to figure out THAT relationship. And her so-called boyfriend never got much action, did he?
I cannot wait to see the remake of Snow White and the Seven LGBTQIATGSFXOREAW dwarves.
The problem is that dumb, young people who have never even heard of Nancy Drew will take the series as gospel truth because they are too dumb to separate fact from fiction.
Just as they’ll think Little Orphan Annie was really Black, because that’s what was in the movie.
“You have that right! Pamela Sue Martin! Remember her Playboy pix?!”
Yes, I do. I that actually was one, probably the only one I could put up on FR.
“I cannot wait to see the remake of Snow White and the Seven LGBTQIATGSFXOREAW dwarves.”
They could each be one specific “diversity” with new names. If we could get Mel Brooks to make it, it could be fun.
Up next: the “diverse” version of The Hardy Boys, Jamal and Taquan.
“Just as they’ll think Little Orphan Annie was really Black, because that’s what was in the movie.”
Exactly! ;-)
"Why not Jaden Smith?"He looks like a live-action version of Jar-Jar Binks.
what a liar.
“she wont be caucasian” - “i will be open to any ethnicity”
- except european.
Now libtards use diverse as ‘not white’.
Who could forget it!?
So ABW...(Anything But White)
How about a trans gender trans racial story line??.
She can start as a white women and becomes a black man....
So the New Nancy Drew becomes trans forms in to the New Shaft.....
Be great to have Samuel L Jackson as the new Nancy Drew
What’s wrong with his nose..
contagious anal cancer... aka brown nose disease... it’s a common disease among the left
Whoa. I thought he just introduced her to drugs.
Unbelievable. Horrible.
