Netflix Confirms Young Cast and Early 2026 Filming for Scooby-Doo! Series

After months of anticipation, Netflix has confirmed more details about its upcoming Scooby-Doo! live-action series. The show, a modern reboot of the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon, will feature a cast of young actors in the roles of Fred, Daphne, Shaggy, and Velma. The production is a collaboration between Warner Bros. Television, Berlanti Productions, and Midnight Radio, with Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg as showrunners.
The storyline will take place during the gang’s final summer at camp. A lonely Great Dane puppy, who will become their loyal companion, witnesses a supernatural murder. This event pulls the teens into a terrifying mystery that forces them to confront their deepest secrets. The series promises to be a thrilling mix of mystery, friendship, and supernatural suspense.
The series is planned for eight one-hour episodes, giving it a serialized feel. While its current working title is Scooby-Doo! The Live-Action Series, a final title may be announced later. Filming, which was initially slated for fall 2025, has now been delayed until early 2026. This new timeline is expected to provide a better production schedule.
The series is designed to be a fresh take on the beloved franchise, aiming to attract both longtime fans and a new generation of viewers. The focus on the gang’s early days and a more serious, supernatural-tinged mystery sets it apart from previous adaptations. The casting of the young actors and, of course, the dog, is eagerly awaited.
