Netflix has officially kicked off production on Scooby-Doo: Origins, a brand-new live-action series filming in Atlanta. This modern reimagining of the beloved mystery-solving crew follows a younger version of the iconic gang during one unforgettable summer. Mckenna Grace stars as Daphne Blake alongside Tanner Hagen as Shaggy Rogers, Abby Ryder Fortson as Velma Dinkley, and Maxwell Jenkins as Fred Jones, with Paul Walter Hauser also joining the cast. The story centers on Shaggy and Daphne as they reunite at camp and become entangled in a chilling mystery involving a lost Great Dane puppy, one that may have witnessed a supernatural crime. Teaming up with the brilliant and logical Velma and the mysterious new arrival of Freddy, the group sets out to uncover the truth behind a case that threatens to reveal their deepest secrets.
With showrunners Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg at the helm, and executive producers including Greg Berlanti, the series aims to blend mystery, coming-of-age drama, and supernatural intrigue for a new generation. Backed by Warner Bros.
