Netflix’s much-anticipated live-action adaptation of Scooby-Doo! is officially moving forward, with a focus on a younger cast for the beloved mystery-solving gang. The series, announced in March, is a modern reimagining of the iconic Hanna-Barbera cartoon. It is being produced by Warner Bros. Television, Berlanti Productions, and Midnight Radio, with Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg as showrunners.
The storyline will follow the teenage quartet during their final summer at camp, where they encounter a lonely Great Dane puppy. This special dog becomes a key witness to a mysterious supernatural murder, drawing the teens into a frightening case that threatens to expose their deepest secrets. The show’s official logline promises a blend of mystery, friendship, and supernatural suspense, creating a fresh take on the classic tale.
The series is set to consist of eight hour-long episodes. While there is no confirmation on the official title, the show is currently listed as Scooby-Doo! The Live-Action Series. Filming, which was initially rumored to begin in late 2025, has now been pushed back. Sources indicate that the new target for the start of production is early 2026.
This live-action series aims to capture the charm and humor of the original cartoon while delivering a contemporary twist. The youthful cast is expected to deliver a fresh take on the characters, and fans are eagerly awaiting further details, including casting announcements and the first look at the Great Dane who will portray a young Scooby-Doo.
