Freddie Prinze Jr. has exited the upcoming Nancy Drew reboot series and he is being replaced by Party of Five‘s Scott Wolf.
Scott will take over the role of “Carson Drew, the father of the teen sleuth played by Kennedy McMann.”
Carson is an “attorney who has become estranged from his daughter after the death of his wife. His relationship with Nancy is thrown into disarray when the sleuth’s murder investigation reveals secrets from his past.”
THR reports that the producers decided to go in a different direction with the role and it was amicable on both sides.
Nancy Drew was recently picked up to series by The CW and will air next season.
