The Gang’s All Here: Netflix’s Scooby-Doo! Live-Action to Feature a Young Cast

Netflix is preparing to launch a live-action series based on the classic Scooby-Doo! franchise, with a focus on the gang’s teenage years. The show, a collaboration between Warner Bros. Television, Berlanti Productions, and Midnight Radio, will feature a young cast in the iconic roles of Fred, Daphne, Shaggy, and Velma. Showrunners Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg are leading the project.
The storyline is set during the gang’s final summer at camp. They encounter a lonely Great Dane puppy who becomes a key witness to a mysterious supernatural murder. This event forces the group to investigate a terrifying case that could reveal their deepest secrets. The series is described as a modern reimagining that blends mystery, friendship, and supernatural suspense.
The show is planned for eight one-hour episodes. Its current working title is Scooby-Doo! The Live-Action Series. Filming, which was initially expected to begin in the fall of 2025, has been delayed to an early 2026 start date.
This new adaptation aims to be a fresh take on the beloved cartoon, blending nostalgic elements with a contemporary plot. The focus on the gang’s origins and a more serious mystery is expected to appeal to a broad audience. Fans are eagerly awaiting casting announcements, especially for the young Great Dane who will play Scooby.
