You call this a 55th birthday present for Scooby-Doo?
The Hollywood Reporter touted on their website plans from Netflix & producer Greg Berlanti (Superman & Lois, All American, Found, etc.) to create a live-action series based on the long running franchise, 22 years after the first live-action adaptation hit theatres with Freddie Prinze, Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Rowan Atkinson, Matt Lillard, and Linda Cardellini.

On the heels of Mindy Kaling's controversial Velma having dropped season 2 on Max, Berlanti and company are looking to cast a new group of actors to bring Mystery, Inc. to life after 2 theatrical films, and a couple of Cartoon Network TV-movies.
The average Netflix series averages about 10 episodes per season maximum. No casting or release date has been announced, but we'll keep you posted.

Because live action Scooby-Doo films weren’t enough.
And it's been a few years since the last TV-movie aired on Chumptoon Network.
Calling it now, with the production team involved... you can pretty much guarantee this being like Riverdale or The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina...
Personally, I thought Riverdale, the CW Nancy Drew series and the Netflix Sabrina series had some good ideas... just like Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated had some good ideas, but all were brought down by some really, really bad writing...
And I still don't know why Riverdale went back into the 1950s for the last season... as at least to me, it really sucked.
The final season of Riverdale can be filed under jumping the shark.
The fact that Warner Bros Discovery wasn't taking a chance on placing a live-action Scooby on Max should tell you something, though.
