It's Official, Scooby-Doo Is Entering A New Era Next Year On Netflix

Scooby-Doo: Origins will premiere on Netflix in 2027, marking a milestone as the franchise shifts further into live-action territory. The project is developed in partnership with Warner Bros. and will feature the first live-action Scooby-Doo TV series in almost six decades. The cast includes Tanner Hagens as Shaggy, Maxwell Jenkins as Fred, McKenna Grace as Daphne, and Abby Ryder Fortson as Velma. For the first time, Scooby-Doo will be portrayed by a real dog on screen, with a Great Dane puppy leading the title role. Netflix has released a teaser showing the pup exploring the woods before meeting his future human friends.

The show promises a mix of mystery and supernatural elements typical of the franchise, with some CGI likely but not essential to bring Scooby-Doo to life as prior iterations relied on animation. This live-action iteration represents a strategic expansion of the IP, building on the franchise’s recent streaming presence and James Gunn's live-action films as a historical touchstone. The production is framed as a landmark moment for the series, launching a new era while preserving classic characters and tonal roots.
