Live-Action Scooby-Doo Netflix Show Finds Its Shaggy, Fred, and Velma


Netflix has reportedly picked Maxwell Jenkins to play Fred Jones, Tanner Hagen as Norville “Shaggy” Rogers, and Abby Ryder Fortson as Velma Dinkley for its live-action Scooby-Doo show.

Information about the latest Mystery Inc. casting comes from Variety. While it’s unclear how the series will handle its titular mutt, the actor update rounds out the human members of the original gang after Mckenna Grace (Scream 7, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2) was tapped to play Daphne Blake in February.

“During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder,” an official description for the show says. “Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma, and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy, 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.”

Netflix announced its live-action Scooby-Doo show would run for eight episodes in March 2025. Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg will serve as its showrunners. No release date has been announced. For more, you can see everything that has and will come to Netflix in March 2026.
