When Nancy Drew Season 2 airs

Season 2 of The CW show is set to air on Wednesday, January 20, with the first episode, titled “The Search for the Midnight Wraith,” airing after Riverdale on the network at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m.

Though Riverdale has announced it will air a shorter season this year, so far Nancy Drew Season 2 is expected to have a full 22 episodes, which will air weekly on Thursdays on The CW.

The synopsis for Nancy Drew Season 2, Episode 1 reads: “THE DREW CREW IS BACK FOR SEASON TWO! Nancy (Kennedy McMann) and the Drew Crew are still reeling from witnessing the visions of their deaths. They realize even more so now that they need to come up with a plan to stop the Aglaeca before it’s too late.

“Meanwhile, Detective Tamura (guest star Ryan-James Hatanaka of Nurses) shows up at The Claw to bring Nancy in for questioning as she is now a suspect in a mysterious comatose girl’s assault.”

How to watch Nancy Drew Season 2 online

Shortly after each episode airs, it will be available to watch online for free on The CW website and app. Unlike other networks that require viewers to log in with a cable provider, all viewers in the U.S. are able to watch each episode of Nancy Drew without logging in.

The CW website and app usually offers the previous five episodes of every show to watch at any time. Viewers who want to catch up on the previous season, meanwhile, are able to do so at HBO Max.

While older CW shows like Riverdale, The Flash and Dynasty air on Netflix after their seasons have concluded, Nancy Drew was released after the Netflix/CW deal lapsed. As such, Season 2 will eventually expected to be streaming on HBO Max. Shows come to Netflix eight days after their season finales air, so HBO Max may decide a similar release schedule, though this is not confirmed by The CW or HBO Max yet.

However, the show was not on the list of shows coming to HBO Max in January, so we know that episodes are not coming to the streamer weekly as episodes of Riverdale do internationally.

Nancy Drew Season 2 airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT on The CW.
