Scooby-Doo has been a fixture in pop culture for over fifty years, spanning dozens of hits, classic television shows, and animated films. The basic story sees Scooby-Doo, a cowardly but lovable great dane, go on spooky adventures with his four friends, Shaggy, Velma, Fred and Daphne, across the world to solve terrifying mysteries with ghouls, goblins and more. While Scooby-Doo didn't coin the term, it's probably the most famous example of the monster-of-the-week formula, where characters encounter and combat a new villain or monster in every episode. The franchise has seen many hits, such as shows like Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, What's New, Scooby-Doo? and Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated, as well as many hit movies like Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island.

However, the franchise has recently died down due to a lack of interest. Although Scooby-Doo has faced low points like this before, he's never been out of...

Scooby-Doo: Where Are You? premiered on CBS in September 1969, creating a legacy that would span generations of fans. According to a Cartoon Research article, the "beloved format and characters almost didn't make it to television" until Fred Silverman changed it into what soon became a hit for "young and older audiences."

Thanks to Silverman getting the Scooby-Doo Franchise off the ground, fans have enjoyed solving mysteries for 55 years. The franchise isn't stopping anytime soon, as Variety reported the exciting Netflix live-action series news in March. After being announced in April 2024, the streamer confirmed that they ordered an eight-episode live-action television series for Scooby-Doo. Although this isn't the first live-action, fans will surely enjoy it.

A Scooby-Doo live-action series is coming to Netflix!

In this modern reimagining, old friends Shaggy and Daphne team up at summer camp with scientific townie Velma and the strange but handsome Fred to solve the mystery...

It’s true, there are plans for a live-action series of Scooby-Doo. Netflix has just announced that a brand new series has been given the green light. We’ll be seeing Shaggy, Scooby-Doo, and all the gang on our screens again, but not as animated cartoons. This will be the first-ever series of the classic cartoon show to be made as a live-action TV series.

Sure, we’ve had some movies in that format over the years, with Scooby-Doo (2002), and the inevitable follow-up, Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004). Both scored big box office success, grossing a combined $430 million worldwide. And we've had a couple of TV movies with Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins (2009) and its sequel, Scooby-Doo! Curse Of The Lake Monster (2010).

But that's a while ago now, and the ever-popular characters merit an exciting new venture and an up-to-date approach. It was talked about in 2024 but the Netflix green light confirms...

Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you? We got some work to do now! This just in: Netflix has officially ordered a live-action Scooby-Doo series, and we couldn't be more excited! Back in April 2024, the show was reportedly said to be in development at Netflix. Now, the streaming giant has given the green light to move forward with production, and the first season will consist of eight episodes.

This won't be the first live-action Scooby-Doo adaptation to hit the screen. The most well-known is the 2002 film Scooby-Doo, starring Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard, and Linda Cardellini, with Neil Fanning providing Scooby's voice. This was followed up by a live-action sequel in 2004, Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, which saw the return of the original cast.

Then, you had the live-action TV films Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins (2009) and Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster (2010) and the live-action direct-to-video film Daphne & Velma (2018). With Netflix's upcoming series,...

“And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for you meddling kids.” This is undoubtedly one of the most famous lines in the history of animated television and practically everyone will recognize it as the most famous phrase from the Scooby-Doo series. The phrase usually signified the end of a case when Scooby and the gang would explain the solution and prove that the guy they caught in the costume red-handed did it. The villain would then utter these words, cursing his ill-fated encounter with Mystery Inc., without which his plan would have succeeded, as it was otherwise perfect.

While the Scooby-Doo series is primarily an animated work, there have been live-action and CGI adaptations of the series as well. And while the CGI Scoob! movie was better received than the live-action movies, no adaptation has managed to come even close to the charm of the original animated series,...

Despite receiving mixed-to-negative reviews, the live-action Scooby-Doo movies remain beloved among fans of the Mystery Inc. gang. A threequel appears to be off the table, but Variety (via Toonado.com) is reporting that a new live-action TV series is in the works and heading to Netflix.

No plot details have been revealed, but the one-hour drama project is nearing a deal at the streamer with a script-to-series commitment. Based on the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon of the same name, Warner Bros. Television is producing the project with Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg (Cowboy Bepop) serving as writers and executive producers.

André Nemec and Jeff Pinkner will also executive produce under their Midnight Radio banner, while Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman will take on the same role through Berlanti Productions.

Berlanti is best known for his DC TV work and was behind Netflix's recently released Dead Boy Detectives. He's...

Scooby-Doo has reportedly found a new home for the cartoon dog's next television series. shortly after the premiere of the second season of Velma, it's been revealed that a new Scooby-Doo series is in the works for a streaming release on Netflix.

Per THR, Greg Berlanti and Netflix are teaming up for a new live-action Scooby-Doo series. A deal is said to be nearly finalized for the new show, which is described as a "live-action update of the classic cartoon." There are no indications that the new series will be connected to any of the previous live-action films based on Scooby-Doo cartoons. The project has a script-to-series commitment, so if the deal is finalized, the reboot will get a straight-to-series order.

On Mar. 27, Gunn shared the following message on Threads, "20 Years ago today Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (I was never a big fan of the title - I had named it simply Scooby-Doo Unleashed) was released in theaters. A great group of people - I made quite a few life long friends working on this project." The message was accompanied by photos of Gunn with the Scooby-Doo 2 cast and crew, including lead stars Matthew Lillard (Shaggy), Sarah Michelle Gellar (Daphne), and Linda Cardellini (Velma).
