Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? is an American animated mystery-comedy television series created by Chris Bailey. It was produced by Warner Bros. Animation for Boomerang's SVOD service and HBO Max. It ran from 2019 to 2021, airing 52 episodes that spanned two seasons. It is the thirteenth Scooby-Doo series after Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!
In an homage to the second series The New Scooby-Doo Movies, Mystery Incorporated solves mysteries each episode with a real-life (sometimes questionably) contemporary celebrity voicing themselves, as well as Warner Bros.-owned characters such as Steve Urkel from the live-action sitcom Family Matters, DC Comics superheroes, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Flash, and the cast of Hanna-Barbera's Magilla Gorilla and The Funky Phantom. The new series even has Cher and Sandy Duncan reprising their roles from The New Scooby-Doo Movies.
Production
Development
On July 19, 2017, Matthew Lillard, the voice of Shaggy Rogers, posted on Instagram that the cast had begun recording that day with guest Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman.[1]
Music
The theme song, entitled "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?", was written by Chris Bailey, and performed by David Poe. The music was composed individually by Steven Morrell and Adam Berry in the first season, then by both Peter Bateman and Sunna Wehrmeijer for the second season.

Legacy
In 2020, the direct-to-video film Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo! features a cameo of Bill Nye as himself as a result of his appearance in "Space Station Scooby," although the movie didn't specifically refer to the episode, it was enough to allow a plausible reason as to why he would have been in contact with Velma.
In 2022, the direct-to-video film Trick or Treat, Scooby-Doo! used the same style of character designs.
