While Nancy Drew is solving mysteries over on The CW, it looks as though The Hardy Boys will be setting up shop at Hulu. The Disney-owned streaming service has put together a brand new TV series featuring the iconic child detectives, putting a new spin on the story for a new generation. Like Nancy Drew and the Archie-starring Riverdale, The Hardy Boys will be a little darker and more intense than some book-readers may remember. On Monday, Hulu unveiled the first trailer for The Hardy Boys, and you can check it out in the video above!
The Hardy Boys follows the 16-year-old Frank Hardy (Rohan Campbell) and his 12-year-old brother Joe (Alexander Elliot), who move to a new town after a family tragedy. Upon learning about the dangerous mysteries their parents are connected to, the duo of brothers decides to do some investigating of their own.
