Scooby-Doo: Origins Live-Action Netflix TV Show Adds 15 to Cast

Netflix has revealed 15 cast members for Scooby-Doo: Origins. The upcoming show marks the franchise’s first live-action adaptation for television. While previously live-action theatrical films in 2002 and 2004 were featured in the franchise, Scooby-Doo Origins will debut as a live-action TV show. It will also feature a real Great Dane instead of computer-generated imagery.

Currently in production in Atlanta, the series will premiere next year. The announcement about the main cast comes after it was disclosed that the Mystery Inc. gang would consist of Maxwell Jenkins as Fred Jones, Tanner Hagen as Norville “Shaggy” Rogers, Abby Ryder Fortson as Velma Dinkley, and McKenna Grace as Daphne Blake.

As per Variety, Rusty Schwimmer, Peter Macon, Maxwell Simkins, Jona Xiao, Dani Deetté, Elysée Sanvillé, Alex Isles, Avery Kristen Pohl, Pamela Mitchell, Ross Kimball, Sara Gilbert, Wynn Everett, Sauriyan Sapkota, Bruce McGill, and Sherilyn Fenn have joined the cast of Scooby-Doo: Origins. That said, the makers are yet to reveal exact character details. Paul Walter Hauser is also set to appear in an undisclosed role in the series.

Created by Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg and backed by Berlanti Productions, Midnight Radio, and Warner Bros. Television, the series is being labeled as a modern reimagining of the beloved cartoon.

The official logline of the series reads, “During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy (Hagen) and Daphne (Grace) get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder. Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma (Fortson), and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy (Jenkins), they set out to solve the case that is pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets.”
