Mckenna Grace, Abby Ryder Fortson, Cast in 'Scooby-Doo' on Netflix
Netflix's live-action series reveals Mystery Inc.'s origin, focusing on their final summer at camp and a haunting case that unites the gang, created by Hanna-Barbera.
- On March 18, 2026, Netflix announced Tanner Hagen as Norville 'Shaggy' Rogers, Abby Ryder Fortson as Velma Dinkley, and Maxwell Jenkins as Fred Jones, joining Mckenna Grace as Daphne Blake.
- The series, produced by Midnight Radio and Berlanti Productions, is billed as a modern reimagining with Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg involved as writers and showrunners crafting an origin story of how Mystery Inc. first teamed up.
- Led creatively by Appelbaum and Rosenberg, the series' plot centers on a final summer at camp involving a lost Great Dane puppy that may have witnessed a supernatural murder, with Toby Haynes directing the pilot.
- This entry differs from past screen versions as the first live-action Scooby-Doo TV series, produced by Warner Bros. Television with executive producers Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, André Nemec, and Jeff Pinkner.
- Given the straight-to-series pickup last year, Netflix ordered the series for eight episodes in March 2025, with Berlanti Productions under an overall deal at Warner Bros. Television.
