Netflix is creating a new live-action version of the Scooby-Doo franchise, which began with the 1969 animated TV series ‘Scooby-Doo, Where Are You’. The adaptation aims to revive the brand after a previous unsuccessful attempt 20 years ago.

The original series introduced the Mystery Inc. gang and their adventures solving mysteries. It led to the development of a large franchise with many animated shows, movies, video games, and other spin-offs.
The new live-action series, being one of the biggest and most beloved franchises in the entertainment world, will provide a fresh perspective on the classic characters and their mysteries. It will build upon the success of the original show that initiated it all.
Scooby-Doo’s live-action history has been marked by ups and downs, with the 2002 movie and its 2004 sequel receiving mixed reviews and commercial success.

Raja Gosnell directed the first film, where the Mystery Inc. gang reunited to solve a mystery on Spooky Island. The second installment, Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, followed the team as they investigated a masked thief at the Coolsonian Criminology Museum.

A group of seasoned writers and producers, including Josh Appelbaum, Scott Rosenberg, André Nemec, and Jeff Pinkner, will write and executive produce the upcoming Scooby-Doo series. They will produce under the banner of Midnight Radio, lending their experience and imaginative vision to the endeavour.
