#AMAZON NANCY DREW THE CAPTIVE CURSE SERIES#


The series' stars - Tracy Ryan, Jhene Erwin, and Joy Tanner - were featured on the covers of the books, which were promotional stills of the television series. The series was produced by Canadian production company Nelvana, and filmed in Toronto (with an arc in Paris). The series featured a college-aged Nancy, who moved to New York City, to attend college and live with Bess (who was an advice columnist) and George (a mail carrier, and amateur filmmaker). The adaption had very little to do with The Nancy Drew Files series, other than its modern and trendy setting, more mature themes, and Nancy and Ned's relationship issues. The 1995 television adaption, Nancy Drew, was based on The Nancy Drew Files. Finally, the series was cancelled in 1997, in a mass cancellation of all mature-themed Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys spin-offs. In 1995, the series reduced its release rate in half, by beginning to release a book every other month, instead of every month. The series is known as the most successful spin-off of the original book series, and also inspired a similar spin-off for The Hardy Boys.

The publishers soon launched The Nancy Drew Files concurrent to the original series, to aim for more mature readers. These two books were the final books overseen by the Syndicate, prior to its sale to Simon & Schuster in 1986. These two books were much more modern and serious, while also featuring romance. The series was first introduced in two books from the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, #77: The Bluebeard Room, and #78: The Phantom of Venice. The series was developed by the Stratemeyer Syndicate, in its final year. The Nancy Drew Files is the first spin-off from the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories.

Her boyfriend, Ned Nickerson also helps her with investigations. Nancy's companions are usually her friends Bess Marvin and George Fayne, no matter whether she is sleuthing or shopping. Their house is taken care of by their full-time housekeeper, Hannah Gruen. Her father, Carson Drew, is a successful attorney and a widower. The stories follow teenage detective Nancy Drew. The Nancy Drew Files is a spin-off from the Nancy Drew series.
