00:00 Some of the team behind the CW's Nancy Drew are not holding back their feelings on the show being axed.
00:05 Executive producer Larry Tang took to X, formerly known as Twitter, late on Thursday
00:10 to express his frustration after the mystery drama's fourth and final season aired its finale this week,
00:16 noting that the creative team apparently wasn't given enough heads up during the production process
00:21 by the CW's new management to craft a more proper ending for the show.
00:26 "From what I've read, the reaction to the series finale have been mostly positive.
00:30 Now imagine if you watched that finale without us knowing it would be the last episode of Nancy Drew ever,
00:35 because that's what almost happened."
00:37 Tang explained the creative team only learned that the show was being canceled when they were scripting the finale,
00:43 and only because CBS Studios had reached out to the network on an unrelated cast scheduling matter.
00:48 "It was then the president of the new CW said to us, 'Oh, we're not picking you up. The show is too expensive.'
00:54 Had our studio not made that call, who knows if we would have ever been told."
00:58 What a f---ing sh--ty way of telling us we were getting canceled.
01:01 Tang continued, "No closure, no consideration for the fandom who support and watch this show.
01:06 I've been pissed at the upper brass of this new CW since November. They suck."
01:11 The CW had no immediate comment.
