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

Each new member of the mystery-solving group brings a background in film and TV to the new Scooby-Doo show. Jenkins has appeared in shows like Reacher and Lost in Space, as well as movies like This Too Shall Pass and Joe Bell. Hagen, meanwhile, has spent time on The Pitt, while also showing up for projects like Be Careful What You Say, Most Likely, and Very Prosperous Men. Fortson also spent some time on The Pitt, but is probably best known for her roles in 2023’s Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret and Ant-Man and the Wasp.

Each star is set to play characters who have existed since the original Hanna-Barbera animated show, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, premiered in 1969. They no doubt have big shoes to fill, but it’s Hagen’s performance as Shaggy that viewers may be most looking forward to. Many associate the live-action version of the snack-eating investigator with Matthew Lillard’s portrayal from the 2000s Scooby-Doo movies. So much so that, when rumors of Netflix’s plans began to swirl in 2024, fans quickly took to social media to call for his return.
