McKenna Grace Joins SCOOBY-DOO Live-Action Series

Emmy-nominated actress and singer Mckenna Grace ("Regretting You", "Scream 7") has joined the cast of the upcoming Netflix live-action series "Scooby-Doo". Grace will star as a young Daphne Blake as the show will delve into the origins of the Mystery Inc. gang. The actress also voiced the young version of the character in the 2020 animated film "Scoob!", and was attached to reprise the role in the prequel "Scoob! Holiday Haunt" before that film was terminated by Warner Bros. Discovery in order to cut costs. The series has been picked up for eight episodes.

Here is the official synopsis: "During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne (Grace) get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder. Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma, and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy, they set out to solve the case that is pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets."

The show is written by Josh Appelbaum ("Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol") and Scott Rosenberg ("Con Air", "Gone in 60 Seconds"), who also serve as showrunners and executive producers. André Nemec and Jeff Pinkner also executive produce under their Midnight Radio banner, alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman via Berlanti productions. Warner Bros. Television will produce. Berlanti Productions is currently under an overall deal at WBTV, with the studio controlling the rights to the Hanna-Barbera characters.

Previous live-action "Scooby-Doo" projects include the 2002 film starring Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard, and Linda Cardellini, a 2004 sequel titled "Scooby-Doo: Monsters Unleashed", and two TV live-action films in 2009 and 2010.

Eight-Episode Scooby-Doo Live-Action Show Ordered To Series At Netflix

A "Scooby-Doo" live-action series is officially moving forward at Netflix. The streamer has picked up the series, which has been in development since April 2024, for eight episodes. The series will delve into the origins of Mystery Inc. and the iconic Great Dane.

"Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" scribes Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg serve as writers and showrunners and will also executive produce along with André Nemec and Jeff Pinkner under their Midnight Radio banner. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman will executive produce via Berlanti productions. Warner Bros. Television will produce. Berlanti Productions is currently under an overall deal at WBTV, with the studio controlling the rights to the Hanna-Barbera characters.

Here is the show's official logline "During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder. Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma, and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy, they set out to solve the case that is pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets".

Berlanti said the following: "One of my first and favorite jobs in Hollywood was sitting with Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera while they signed animation cells. Josh and Scott and everyone at Midnight Radio have crafted a story that captures their amazing spirits and their genius creation. We are grateful to them and everyone at Warners and Netflix for the partnership in helping bring this iteration of Scooby-Doo to life!"

This isn't the first time Scooby-Doo was adapted for live-action. The first time was in a movie released in 2002 that starred Freddie Prinze Jr., Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard, and Linda Cardellini, with Neil Fanning voicing Scooby. The film was a box office success, grossing over $250 million worldwide. It was followed by a 2004 sequel with the same cast, "Scooby-Doo: Monsters Unleashed" as well as a live-action TV film "Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins" in 2009, which got its own sequel in 2010.
