action 'Scooby-Doo' series coming to Netflix from Arrowverse, 'Riverdale' producers

Netflix has ordered an eight-episode live-action Scooby-Doo series, first reported in April 2024, which will explore the origins of Mystery Inc. And their Great Dane.
The series is a modern reimagining of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon, with Shaggy and Daphne's final summer at camp setting the stage for a haunting mystery involving a lost Great Dane puppy.
Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg are the writers and showrunners, while André Nemec, Jeff Pinkner, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman will serve as executive producers under Berlanti Productions and Midnight Radio banners, with Warner Bros. Television producing.
Peter Friedlander, VP of Scripted Series at Netflix, expressed excitement in bringing Scooby-Doo to TV as a live-action series for the first time, highlighting the franchise's impact on pop culture and universal themes of friendship.
Prior to this series, there were two live-action Scooby-Doo films released in 2002 and 2004, starring Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard, and Linda Cardellini, demonstrating the franchise's history in live-action adaptations despite this being the first live-action television series.
