Netflix has acquired the rights to a new live-action series titled “Scooby-Doo! The Live-Action Series,” which will bring the beloved cartoon character to life on screen. This project was highly sought after among multiple streaming platforms, but Netflix ultimately secured it with a commitment to high-budget production.
Greg Berlanti will produce the series in collaboration with Warner Bros. Television, while screenwriters Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg will pen the scripts based on the Hanna-Barbera characters. This upcoming series is set to offer a modern take on the classic franchise that first debuted in 1969.
The show follows Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, Shaggy Rogers, and Scooby-Doo as they solve supernatural mysteries together. This upcoming project builds on the success of another Berlanti Prods./WBTV series on Netflix called Dead Boy Detectives, which quickly gained popularity and became one of the most-watched series in the US shortly after its release.
The future of Scooby-Doo is bright with this upcoming Netflix series that promises to deliver high-quality production while staying true to the spirit of the original cartoon. Fans can look forward to an exciting and engaging addition to this beloved franchise that captivates audiences of all ages.
