‘Scooby Doo’ Live-Action Series Sets First Look, to Drop in 2027

Netflix has unveiled an early first-look at its upcoming “Scooby-Doo” live action-series.

In a clip posted to social media, the beloved sleuthing canine is running through the woods near a summer camp when he runs into Shaggy, who will become his best friend and companion. Check out the clip below.

The series, officially titled “Scooby-Doo: Origins,” is now filming in Atlanta and is scheduled to premiere in 2027.

As previously announced, the Mystery Inc. gang will consist of Maxwell Jenkins as Fred Jones, Tanner Hagen as Norville “Shaggy” Rogers, Abby Ryder Fortson as Velma Dinkley, and Mckenna Grace as Daphne Blake. Netflix shared another early first look at them in April. Paul Walter Hauser is also set to appear in the series in an undisclosed role.

The official logline describes the show as modern reimagining of the beloved cartoon. “During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy (Hagen) and Daphne (Grace) get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder,” the logline reads. “Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma (Fortson), and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy (Jenkins), they set out to solve the case that is pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets.”

Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg serve as writers and showrunners and will also executive produce along with André Nemec, Jeff Pinkner, and Adrienne Erickson under their Midnight Radio banner. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman will executive produce via Berlanti productions. Toby Haynes will executive produce and direct the first episode. Warner Bros. Television will produce. Berlanti Productions is currently under an overall deal at WBTV.
