Hulu has released the trailer for the upcoming third and final season of The Hardy Boys. Based on the children’s mystery novels by a collective of writers publishing under the name Franklin W. Dixon, The Hardy Boys is one of popular culture’s longest-running prose series, and has been adapted to live-action a few times over the years. The Hulu version, launched in 2020, is aimed at an older audience, playing like The CW’s Riverdale or Nancy Drew — the latter of which hailed from the same original publisher as The Hardy Boys and had the same publishing structure, with numerous authors going by the name Carolyn Keene.
