Scooby Doo!
Netflix is reportedly in talks to bring a live-action adaptation of the beloved animated series “Scooby-Doo” to the streaming platform, as per Variety. Titled ‘Scooby-Doo! The Live-Action Series,’ the one-hour drama is said to be nearing a deal with Netflix, accompanied by a script-to-series commitment. While specific plot details remain undisclosed, the series will draw inspiration from the iconic Hanna-Barbera cartoon.
Produced by Warner Bros. Television, the project will be helmed by writers Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg, known for their work on various acclaimed series. Joining them as executive producers are Andre Nemec and Jeff Pinkner under their Midnight Radio banner. Additionally, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman will executive produce through Berlanti Productions, which has a longstanding deal with WBTV. Jonathan Gabay and Adrienne Erickson will co-executive produce.
The Scooby-Doo franchise, created by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, first debuted in 1969 with the animated series “Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!” under Hanna-Barbera Studios. Over the years, the franchise has evolved into a cultural phenomenon, captivating audiences of all ages with its blend of mystery, comedy, and memorable characters.
This upcoming Netflix adaptation won’t be the first venture into live-action for the Scooby-Doo franchise. The 2002 film “Scooby-Doo,” featuring Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard, and Linda Cardellini, was a commercial success, grossing over USD 250 million worldwide. Its sequel, “Scooby-Doo: Monsters Unleashed,” followed in 2004 and continued the franchise’s box office success.
In addition to the live-action films, there have been several animated iterations of Scooby-Doo over the years, including various TV series and direct-to-video films. The enduring popularity of the franchise speaks to its timeless appeal and enduring legacy in the world of animation and pop culture.
As anticipation builds for the Netflix adaptation, fans eagerly await further details on casting, production timelines, and how the beloved characters of Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. gang will be brought to life in this new iteration.
