Scooby-Doo[1] is the tentative title for a proposed American live-action mystery television series created Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg, and produced by Berlanti Productions and Midnight Radio for Netflix. If filmed and released, it will be the fifteenth Scooby-Doo series after Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, and is the first live-action series based on the property, although the Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins live-action television movie was designed as a back-door pilot to a television series in 2009 on Cartoon Network. This is also the second attempt at a Hanna-Barbera-inspired series to be produced by Berlanti Productions after its failure to make a successful working pilot to Powerpuff for The CW, based on The Powerpuff Girls.
In a "modern reimagining," Daphne and Shaggy spend their last summer camp together, where they find a lost Great Dane puppy, who may have witnessed a supernatural murder. In the investigation, they team-up with two other kids, Velma and Freddy, which leads to all of them getting embroiled in a case that gets them caught in creepy nightmares that will expose all their secrets.
Production
Development
The series was announced as Scooby-Doo! The Live-Action Series on April 29, 2024, as a joint venture between Warner Bros. Television's Berlanti Productions and Midnight Radio, as part of the four-year deal made in January 2023 between Warner Bros. Television and Berlanti Productions in creating further content together.[2] They were closing in on a deal with Netflix for a script-to-series commitment, which may come from the fact that they already had previous business with Warner Bros. and Berlanti Productions with You The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and Dead Boy Detectives, along with Midnight Radio's adaptation of Cowboy Bebop.[3][4]
Berlanti Productions' Greg Berlanti, its namesake, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London will serve as executive producers alongside Midnight Radio's Josh Appelbaum, Scott Rosenberg, and André Nemec. Appelbaum and Rosenberg will also write the 60 minute pilot.[3][4] They had been receiving pitches for a year and a half before finding the right one, which was being fine turned in early July.[5]
Netflix gave a series order for eight episodes on March 26, 2025.[6][7][8]
