The classic Scooby-Doo franchise is set for a revival with Netflix acquiring the rights to a live-action series titled “Scooby-Doo! The Live-Action Series.” This project was met with intense competition from various streaming platforms, but ultimately, Netflix secured the deal with a commitment to high-budget production.
Greg Berlanti will produce the series in collaboration with Warner Bros. Television, while screenwriters Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg will write the scripts based on the Hanna-Barbera characters. This upcoming Netflix series promises to offer a modern take on the beloved cartoon that first debuted in 1969.
The show will follow Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley, Shaggy Rogers, and the talking Great Dane, Scooby-Doo as they solve supernatural mysteries. This new adaptation follows in the footsteps of other successful Berlanti Prods./WBTV series on Netflix like Dead Boy Detectives which quickly climbed the ranks and became one of the most-watched series in the US shortly after its release.
Fans can look forward to a high-quality production that stays true to the spirit of the original cartoon while introducing new elements to captivate audiences of all ages. With a talented team behind it and the support of a major streaming platform like Netflix, “Scooby-Doo! The Live-Action Series” promises to be an exciting and engaging addition to the beloved franchise.
