Live-Action Scooby-Doo Series Coming to Netflix as Fans Beg the Streamer to ‘Make It Better’ Than HBO’s Velma Show

NETFLIX is currently working on a new live-action series based on the original Scooby-Doo cartoons.

The beloved television series, originally produced by Hanna-Barbera, should return to the screen with actors and not animation.

Scooby-Doo fans were treated to the news on Monday when The Hollywood Producer announced that the script is currently in work.

The show has a script-to-screen deal, meaning if the script performs well, it will immediately be turned into a series.

Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg are currently involved in writing the script and adapting the old cartoons.

Fans flocked to X, formerly Twitter, to discuss their thoughts on the supposed new adaptation.

“Please do my boy Scrappy-Doo justice,” wrote one fan with a brief video clip from the 2002 Scooby-Doo movie.

In the clip, Scrappy jumped out of the front seat of a car where Velma, Shaggy, Daphne and Fred were sitting.

Scrappy, Scooby-Doo’s nephew, started peeing on Daphne’s dress.

“Nothing will beat the original,” added another social media commenter.

“No one asked for this…” noted a third.

“I hope Netflix doesn’t mess up again,” said a fourth.

“I’ll watch it if it’s not like Velma and if they animate Scooby like Paramount did for Sonic!” replied a fifth.

BOX FLOP

Several fans on social media begged the producer to do better than her previous show, Velma.

The spin-off show, starring Mindy Kaling, returned to Max for its second season this year.

The series is animated and follows the main character, Velma.

Although Scooby-Doo fans remain as active as ever, the show received a lot of criticism and got a low 39% rating on Rotten tomatoes.

“It is an empty farce that is neither clever nor captivating. Just disgusting,” wrote one reviewer.

“Every episode is a scary slog that doesn’t seem to have the slightest idea who its audience is, but seems to despise them anyway,” added another.

“The series is out of focus, confusing and desperately lost,” said a third.

“Scooby, no,” he simply left a room.

Netflix has not announced cast members or an expected release date for its new show, but Berlanti and her Berlanti Productions partner Sarah Schechter will executive produce alongside the company’s Leigh London Redman.
