A live-action Scooby-Doo series is officially in the works and heading to Netflix.

The upcoming series will feature a modern reimagining of the beloved franchise. According to Netflix, the story follows old friends Shaggy and Daphne as they reunite at summer camp and team up with a science-loving Velma and the charming but mysterious Fred "to solve the mystery of a lonely lost Great Dane puppy — who may have witnessed a supernatural murder."

The live-action adaptation will consist of eight episodes as per Tudum.

Executive producers for the series include Scott Rosenberg and Josh Appelbaum, along with Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman of Berlanti Productions, as well as André Nemec and Jeff Pinkner of Midnight Radio.

"Mystery Inc. is back in business! We’re excited to bring Scooby-Doo to TV as a live-action series for the first time," Peter Friedlander, vice president of scripted series at Netflix, remarked.

He added: "The beloved franchise has had an impact on pop culture that is undeniable — it’s rich with universal themes of friendship that generations of fans have long embraced. Together with creative powerhouses Berlanti Productions and Midnight Radio, we’re committed to delighting longtime fans and opening up a world of groovy adventures for a new era of meddling kids."



The series is part of Berlanti Productions’ overall deal with Warner Bros. Television.

Clancy Collins White, President of Creative Affairs at Warner Bros. Television, also expressed excitement over the collaboration.

"We’re thrilled to collaborate with our longstanding partners at Berlanti Productions and with Midnight Radio to bring the legendary Scooby-Doo franchise to a live-action series for the first time," she said.

"It’s no mystery why audiences continue to love these iconic characters after more than a half century. We’re excited for a new generation to discover Mystery Inc. And we’re grateful to our partners at Netflix for the opportunity."

The upcoming Scooby-Doo series follows Netflix’s recent efforts to expand popular franchises through live-action adaptations, including ONE PIECE, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Wednesday.
