Netflix just revealed the cast of their live-action Scooby-Doo series. I think this was greenlit because of, you know, a few years ago, someone made a pilot for a live-action Scooby-Doo, but the actors are on their 30s instead of actual teenagers. This time around, they will have actual teenagers playing the role. The only one I recognize from the cast is McKenna Grace, because she is known as a former child star. She usually stars on horror movies. In the Bad Seed movie franchise, she plays a child who is a serial killer. Then in The Genius, she was the genius young girl who is being raised by her brother. Now she's going to play Daphne. I don't know if Scooby-Doo is going to be a real dog or a CGI.

Interesting that they are making a series instead of a movie. McKenna is also the only one I recognize, and she'll probably be the reason most people watch.

I do hope the live action series will be truthful to the source material once it comes out though.

It's based from this pilot movie, so it's going to be dark and not a comedy.



They replaced the pilot actors though because the pilot actors are way too old to play teenagers.

I have watched the older movies but haven't watched this pilot episode yet.

I am looking forward to this series. Need to check if it is available in India.

I'll watch it when I have time so I can concentrate and watch it closely. I hope it's good and not another mediocre adaptation. I miss seeing live-action Scooby-Doo adaptations that are on par with the 2002 and 2004 movies.

Am sure it will be available, or at least there should be ways round it for you to watch it.

Anyone who remembers the failed attempt of HBO Max to make a Scooby-Doo show where Velma is a white hating Indian, and it's so unwatchable and unlikable, people hated it so much, despite of the fact that it ends up with two seasons, because they turn Shaggy into black, Fred became Beta male, they turn Daphne into Chinese, and Scooby-Doo is nowhere in sight.

Lol the animation looks annoying already, not to mention the changes. Most times the original is always the best.

[Netherrealmer]

They said that they turned Velma into an Indian on that canceled show for diversity, but what they did is make Velma annoying, talkative, opinionated, strongly opinionated, and she's kind of sexist as well, and kind of racist against white people, so I don't know why they think that show was a good idea.
