Who is Starring in Netflix's Scooby-Doo Series?
Netflix's Tudum recently announced the main cast for the live-action Scooby-Doo series, who will reimagine the beloved characters for the modern audience.
Mckenna Grace (Regretting You) as Daphne Blake, Tanner Hagen (The Pitt) as Shaggy Rogers, Abby Ryder Fortson (Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret) as Velma Dinkley, and Maxwell Jenkins (Lost in Space) are confirmed to star in the series.
As for Scooby-Doo himself, he is expected to show up as either portrayed by a dog actor or a CGI character. However, it remains unknown whether Frank Welker, who usually voices him in the animated shows and movies, will reprise the role for this project.
Grace's involvement in the series has been rumored for the last few months, and this is the official confirmation from Netflix that she is indeed set to become the Daphne Blake of this generation.
During the Oscars red carpet interview, Grace discussed her excitement to take on the role of Daphne Blake in the Scooby-Doo series and the preparation that she has been doing.
"I love Daphne. I dressed up as her for two or three Halloweens. I’m obsessed with Daphne. She is my favourite character. I’m so beyond. I’m estatic. I’m just going to rewatch every Scooby-Doo movie and series ever now," she said.
What to Expect in Netflix's Scooby-Doo Series?
The live-action Scooby-Doo series, which explores how the teens first teamed up, follows old friends Shaggy and Daphne during their final summer at camp. The two get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely, lost Great Dane puppy that may have witnessed a supernatural murder.
With help from the pragmatic and scientific townie Velma and the strange but ever-so-handsome new kid Freddy, they set out to solve the case that’s pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets.
The project is being executive produced by Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg, as well as Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman (via Berlanti Productions), André Nemec, Jeff Pinkner, and Adrienne Erickson (via Midnight Radio). Toby Haynes will also serve as an executive producer and direct the premiere episode.
So far, Netflix has not set a release window yet for the Scooby-Doo series. Stay tuned for more news and updates in the coming months.
