Half a century, three theatrical films, and more than a dozen animated series later, Scooby-Doo remains one of pop culture’s most recognisable and entertaining characters.
But few people know about how the cowardly dog and his mystery-solving gang first got together.
In a new Scooby Doo series, showrunners Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg (and their production company, Midnight Radio) are returning to the terrifying case that started it all.
Based on the characters from Hanna-Barbera, the latest Scooby Doo show 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 about a lonely, lost Great Dane puppy who may have been a witness to a supernatural murder.
Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma, and the strange but ever-so-handsome new kid, Freddy, they set out to solve the case that is pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all their secrets.
Rosenberg and Appelbaum, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman (via Berlanti Productions), André Nemec, and Jeff Pinkner (via Midnight Radio) will executive produce the Scooby Doo series.
This isn’t the first time a beloved franchise has made its live-action debut on Netflix. Netflix has continued the world-building of beloved franchises with live-action adaptations of ONE PIECE and Avatar: The Last Airbender and fan-favourite characters like Wednesday.
