Netflix’s Live-Action Scooby-Doo Sparks Demand from Fans

Despite varying opinions, it is undeniable that Scooby-Doo has had numerous on-screen adaptations. From the well-received 2000s live-action movies to the more recent and controversial Velma animated series, the beloved character’s story continues to evolve.

Netflix is now joining the ranks with a new live-action TV show in the works, aiming to claim a slice of the action. This highly-anticipated one-hour drama is reportedly close to securing a deal with the streaming service. However, devoted Scooby-Doo fans are vocal about their desires, demanding just one thing: the return of the original cast.

“A fan expressed their strong opinion on X, stating that they only want a live-action remake if it includes the original cast. Others shared this sentiment, with comments such as “You will never be them”and “Quite honestly they could just hire the cast from the first movies and it would be perfect.”echoing the sentiment.”

“Another asked, ‘What’s the point if Matthew isn’t involved?’”

Someone else commented: “It’s a shame because we’ll never see such incredible casting choices again, so there’s no use in hoping for it.”

However, it has been confirmed that the series will be based on the beloved Hanna-Barbera cartoon and will be written by Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg.

Rosenberg is known for writing Con Air, High Fidelity, and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle in the past.
