Netflix is firing up the Mystery Machine with a live action Scooby-Doo series

• Netflix is getting a Scooby-Doo live action series
• The first season will have eight episodes
• The storyline will follow “the haunting case that started it all.”

Scooby-Doo is getting its first live-action series on Netflix, and across eight episodes, we’ll see “a modern reimagining” of the characters we know and love as we explore a case that started Mystery Inc. Last April, we reported that the Scooby-Doo live-action series was in early development, and now we know more about it.

“Mystery Inc. is back in business! We’re excited to bring Scooby-Doo to TV as a live-action series for the first time,” said Peter Friedlander, vice president of scripted series at Netflix. “The beloved franchise has had an impact on pop culture that is undeniable — it’s rich with universal themes of friendship that generations of fans have long embraced. Together with creative powerhouses Berlanti Productions and Midnight Radio, we’re committed to delighting longtime fans and opening up a world of groovy adventures for a new era of meddling kids.”
