Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This 2016 CBS pilot was part of a wave of gritty teen-detective reboots, but networks pivoted hard to lighter fare after Riverdale's camp success made 'dark Nancy' feel instantly dated.
Sarah Shahi filmed this between Person of Interest seasons; she later said the costume fittings took longer than the shoot itself.
