Netflix has unveiled the first look at Scooby-Doo: Origins, which marks the first live-action Scooby-Doo project since 2004’s Monsters Unleashed.
The series takes us all the way back to the teenage days of Mystery Inc. (though the modern animated adaptations tend to just call them the ‘Scooby Gang’) when Scoob was just a puppy. Per Deadline, childhood friends Shaggy (Tanner Hagen) and Daphne (Mckenna Grace) get “embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely, lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder.” And this is extremely exciting for fans of The New Scooby and Scrappy-Doo Show and The 13th Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, which saw Shaggy, Daphne, and Scooby solving mysteries as a trio.

Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg, the latter of whom wrote both ’90s thriller Disturbing Behavior and Kangaroo Jack, are set to serve as showrunners.
OG live-action Shaggy star Matthew Lillard shared support for the new Scooby Doo cast back in February, saying, “I think that it’s a great way for kids to understand storytelling. It’s the first introduction to ghost stories for a lot of kids, right? It’s about friendship and sticking together as a gang and working together to solve mysteries, and that normally it’s a dangerous white man behind a mask. These are the things that kids have to learn.”
Scooby-Doo: Origins does not yet have a release date. In the meantime, check out the best shows to watch on Netflix right now.
