I bet she’s in trouble, I need to find out what’s going on.”
Did you always know you were going to end this season with aGroundhog Day-like do over for Nancy?
NOGA LANDAU:No.

Usually we know exactly what we’re doing ahead of time.
It was about beginning a new chapter for Nancy and it was about her and Ace.
But also it’s bringing up this idea of fate and whether or not you could truly fight fate.
And that’s something we’re going to be talking about in season 4.
The finale was an emotional roller coaster and Kennedy was breaking my heart in every scene.
How has this vision of the future Nancy almost/could have had affected her going into a potential season 4?
HSU TAYLOR:It’s going to weigh heavily on her mind.
LANDAU:Yeah, season 4 is going to be a season of intense yearning for both of them.
[Laughs] It’s only ramping it up even more, for sure.
LANDAU:Yeah, absolutely.
And that’s part of the mystery that eventually she probably will have a go at solve.
We can’t say if she’s going to be successful or not.
But yeah, she’s definitely going to want to.
I mean, the other thing is she doesn’t know what the rules of this curse are.
She doesn’t know if she can tell him she loves him.
She doesn’t know if she can even tell him about the curse without triggering it.
Is Temperance really dead?
That moth flying away has me worried.
HSU TAYLOR:That’s so funny, you have been the first person to ask us that.
That wasn’t our intention originally.
[Laughs] But maybe I should just leave it at that.
There is something about this threat of Temperance and you just never know.
But that’s kind of the whole point of how she left things with us.
LANDAU:What’s fun about Temperance is that she’s the villain of many faces.
So, yes, again, we’ll leave it at that.
Where is this is going to lead Nancy in a new season?
Oh, so this isn’t an entirely new mystery?
It connects to something we’ve already seen?
HSU TAYLOR:For sure, we actually planted seeds of it already … this is a spoiler.
I’m excited Nancy opened up Nancy Drew Investigations.
Does this signal a new chapter for Nancy and the series moving forward?
LANDAU:Yeah, she is.
She’s growing up.
We love the cat.
His name is Duncan.
It’s offscreen Kegstand.
LANDAU:That was Kegstand, by the way!
You get to break the news because nobody else has asked us about that cat meow.
Yes, that was Kegstand, people!
It’s an EW exclusive!
HSU TAYLOR:[Laughs] It’s so legit.
On a less fun note, it’s heartbreaking that Nancy seems to be working alone as of now.
Is she going to start recruiting new people or will we see the Drew Crew come back together?
HSU TAYLOR:Oh, they’ll always come back together, for sure.
We now kind of have people in different areas of law enforcement.
There’s a lot of opportunity for teamwork.
Her name is Leah if she’s out there reading this.
[Laughs] She’s terrific.
What’s going on with those creepy artifact sellers and their weirdly intense new hold over Ryan?
LANDAU:It’s not good.
HSU TAYLOR:Maybe.
That would be an interesting thing for them to talk about, actually.
It’s the kind of thing that could come up in conversation.
