What’s New in the Scooby-Doo Universe?
According to What’s on Netflix, the upcoming series will take inspiration from one of the platform’s hit coming-of-age sci-fi dramas, aiming to capture the same nostalgic yet thrilling tone as Stranger Things. The creative team is reportedly seeking young actors, aged between 14 and 17, to breathe life into beloved characters like Fred, Daphne, Scooby, Shaggy, and Velma.

Production Timeline and Creative Team
Rumors suggest that filming for the live-action adaptation could kick off in the first quarter of 2026. The series is inspired by the classic characters created by Hanna-Barbera and is helmed by showrunners Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg, who are also serving as executive producers through their company, Midnight Radio. Other notable executive producers include Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, André Nemec, and Jeff Pinkner.
What’s the Plot?
The official synopsis hints at an intriguing storyline: “It is a modern reimagining of the iconic mystery-solving group of teens and their very special dog. During their final summer at Camp Ruby-Spears, old friends Shaggy and Daphne become embroiled in a haunting mystery involving a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have witnessed a supernatural murder. Along with the pragmatic and science-minded Velma and the enigmatic new kid, Freddy, they embark on a quest to unravel a case that pulls them into a chilling nightmare, threatening to reveal all of their secrets.”
