The iconic mystery solving teenager from the classic Nancy Drew books is back with an all-new feature length film that will keep you guessing until the very end! Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will release Nancy Drew And The Hidden Staircase on Digital starting March 26, 2019 and Blu-ray™ Combo Pack & DVD on April 2, 2019. Executive Produced by Ellen DeGeneres, the film stars Sophia Lillis (IT and “Sharp Objects”), Sam Trammell (“True Blood” and “This is Us”), and Linda Lavin (“The Good Wife” and“Alice”) and follows Nancy Drew in her new town, making new friends and on a mission to solve the case!

After the death of his wife, Carson Drew decides to leave Chicago behind and make a fresh start with his daughter in River Heights. But for 16-year-old Nancy Drew, life in a small town is mighty dull. She longs for excitement, adventure, and the chance to make a difference. Nancy gets that opportunity when she is asked to help solve the ghostly activity at the Twin Elms mansion. Can she help explain the creaking footsteps, exploding lightbulbs and the ominous creature? Is it the handiwork of high-school bully Derek Barnes? Or is it possible that the ghost of original owner Malcolm Colfax is back for revenge? Recruiting her best friends George and Bess, along with local “mean girl” Helen, Nancy Drew is on the case!
If you enjoy a good mystery, you know all about Nancy Drew. Oh sure, you might not have read the books or know ALL of the details... but we ALL know the name. It has become synonymous with anyone who loves a little crime fighting, right? Needless to say, as a fan of mysteries I was excited to learn of an all new Nancy Drew mystery coming to film--- Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase!
I was recently given the chance to check out the new movie to share with all of you. The verdict? I absolutely loved it! Now, I had read a handful of Nancy Drew books as a child--- not enough to consider myself a die hard fan, nor enough to remember any details at all. As such, I cannot say how true the movie holds with the character that so many have come to know and love for all these years... but it WAS certainly what I had come to expect when I heard the name Nancy Drew- a smart girl who has knack for solving mysteries! And it was a pretty great mystery--- ghosts, excitement, hidden passageways... everything that I love in a good story. Even better? It is a mystery that can be enjoyed as a family. Now, that's not saying it's safe for ALL ages--- it is rated PG which I assume is primarily for violence. But for tweens and teens, it's much better than many shows and movies out there these days and one that I would personally feel comfortable enjoying together.
Beyond the mystery, it's also just a fun movie on friendship and learning who we are as well. These are such important topics for that tween and teen age groups and I love how they took it on in such a fun way all while re-introducing Nancy Drew to a new, younger audience! The movie has laughs, it has suspense, it has drama and more than anything, it has a lot of heart! I absolutely loved it!
