Netflix has announced the core cast for its upcoming Untitled Scooby-Doo Live-Action Series, a new project exploring how the mystery-solving team known as Mystery Inc. first came together.
The series will feature Mckenna Grace as Daphne Blake, Tanner Hagen as Shaggy Rogers, Abby Ryder Fortson as Velma Dinkley, and Maxwell Jenkins as Fred Jones.
The story reimagines the early days of the famous mystery-solving group. Set during the characters’ final summer at camp, the series follows longtime friends Shaggy and Daphne as they become involved in a strange case involving a lost Great Dane puppy that may have witnessed a supernatural murder.
As the mystery deepens, they join forces with Velma, a pragmatic and scientific-minded local, and Freddy, a mysterious newcomer. Together, the group begins investigating the case that ultimately leads them to form the team that fans recognize as Mystery Inc.
The show is written and executive produced by Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg through their Midnight Radio banner. Additional executive producers include Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, André Nemec, Jeff Pinkner, and Adrienne Erickson. Toby Haynes will direct the first episode.
Produced by Warner Bros. Television, the series expands the long-running Scooby-Doo franchise, which has remained a major part of popular culture for more than five decades through animated series, films, and theatrical adaptations.
The new show aims to explore the origins of the group while introducing a new generation of viewers to the mystery-solving team and their iconic Great Dane companion.
