The first trailer has dropped for @thecw's "Nancy Drew" spinoff series "Tom Swift," featuring a gay, Black version of the iconic adventure hero, Entertainment Weekly reported. "@tianrichards already made his debut as Tom Swift on one of the best episodes of 'Nancy Drew' yet, but get ready to see him in a whole new light on his own show," EW said. As previously reported at EDGE, being gay was a prominent part of the character's depiction when he made a guest appearance on "Nancy Drew." Sparks flew between Tom Swift and "Nancy Drew" regular character Nick (Tunji Kasim), leading to an onscreen kiss. But, the EW report added, "There's so much more to him than what was in last year's backdoor pilot that aired as a season 2 episode of 'Nancy Drew,' and Tom absolutely sizzles onscreen." EDGE noted in an earlier report on Tian Richards' casting that series co-creator Noga Landau was specific about the show featuring an updated version of the classic character that would be a better fit for the times. "Something that I'm personally most excited about with 'Tom Swift' is that it's going to be an epic cosmic romance that positions a queer Black man right in the middle of it as the object of desire and as the alpha male of the story," Landau told EW. "That's just so important to put on screen right now."⁠ ⁠ Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork⁠ ????⁠ ?: @tianrichards
