Netflix has commissioned an eight-part series based on a live-action adaptation of the iconic Scooby-Doo cartoon from Warner Bros. This new series will explore the origins of the popular mystery-solving teen group and their loyal dog. The project, developed by Midnight Radio, Berlanti Productions, and Warner Bros. Television, was secured by Netflix in a competitive scenario last spring, with a guaranteed script-to-series production.
The as-yet-unnamed Scooby-Doo series, penned by Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg (from Midnight Radio), follows an account of how Mystery Inc.’s team initially formed and joined forces to solve the spine-tingling mystery that marked their beginning.
In their last summer at camp, long-time friends Shaggy and Daphne find themselves in a chilling mystery involving a solitary Great Dane puppy who could have seen a supernatural killing. Alongside the logical and scientific local resident Velma, and the enigmatic yet attractive newcomer Freddy, they embark on a quest to unravel this case that seems to drag each of them into a disturbing nightmare, potentially revealing hidden truths about themselves.
As a movie enthusiast, I can confidently say that this new production is poised to wipe clean any lingering remnants of the less-than-impressive ‘Velma’ animated series, as previously criticized by many.
2 movies based on the live-action version of Scooby-Doo were previously developed by Warner Bros., with both being directed by Raja Gosnell. The first movie, released in 2002 as Scooby-Doo, was written by James Gunn and grossed an impressive $275 million globally, despite receiving mixed reviews. Its sequel, titled Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004), didn’t perform quite as well, earning $181 million, below expectations. The main cast included Matthew Lillard as Shaggy, Freddie Prinze Jr. as Fred, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne, and Linda Cardellini as Velma. Due to the sequel’s lackluster box office performance, plans for a third film were ultimately shelved.
The popular “Scooby-Doo!” franchise was initially introduced by creators Joe Ruby and Ken Spears in 1969 through their animated series titled “Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!” under the studio Hanna-Barbera (which later became part of Warner Bros. Animation).
