Tom Swift is an American mystery drama television series based on the series of science fiction novels about the titular character. A spinoff of Nancy Drew, the series was adapted for the CW by Melinda Hsu Taylor, Noga Landau and Cameron Johnson and is produced by CBS Studios, in association with Fake Empire. In October 2020, the series development was announced by the CW, with the character set to make his debut in an episode of Nancy Drew. The backdoor pilot, "The Celestial Visitor", which aired on May 12, 2021, introduced the titular character, played by Tian Richards, and his artificial intelligence assistant, Barclay, voiced by LeVar Burton. It was later given a straight-to-series order in August 2021. The series also stars Ashleigh Murray, Marquise Vilsón, Albert Mwangi, and April Parker Jones. The series debuted on May 31, 2022, to mixed reviews. In June 2022, after broadcasting the fifth episode, it was canceled by the CW, although, the network still broadcast the remaining episodes, with the series finale airing on August 2, 2022.
