It\u2019s not often that I remark on a casting announcement, much less one about \u201cScooby-Doo,\u201d but the second I opened an email from Netflix, my jaw dropped.<\/p>\n
A chocolate brown Great Dane puppy with blue eyes and a teal collar sitting on a tile floor gazed at me from my computer screen \u2014 I squealed. I mean, look at him. His floppy ears, grumpy little face and paws you just want to shake hands with. He\u2019s perfect.<\/p>\n
\u201cScooby-Doo: Origins\u201d is the streamer\u2019s upcoming live-action series<\/a>, slated for release in 2027, featuring this mystery-solving pup. It marks the first time a real dog has played Scooby-Doo. For many viewers, their first exposure to Scooby and his gang was via the \u201870s Hanna-Barbera animated version, which aired on Cartoon Network in reruns in the \u201890s and early aughts, or the reboots on ABC and the WB, now the CW, more recently. Several live-action theatrical<\/a> and TV films have been made over the years, but they\u2019ve always featured a computer-generated dog. Yes, that means it took nearly six decades to have a real-life Scooby.<\/p>\n The previously announced cast includes key players in the Scooby gang: Mckenna Grace as Daphne Blake, Tanner Hagen as Shaggy Rogers, Abby Ryder Fortson as Velma Dinkley and Maxwell Jenkins as Fred Jones. Paul Walter Hauser is also slated to appear as a series regular in an unnamed role. Showrunners Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg helm the series.<\/p>\n According to the show\u2019s logline, it\u2019s a \u201cmodern reimagining of the iconic mystery-solving group of teens and their very special dog\u201d that takes place at summer camp. Said dog may have been witness to a supernatural murder, leading the group of teens to set out to solve the case. It\u2019s an origin story for Scooby and his gang. <\/p>\n While I wouldn\u2019t consider myself a \u201cScooby-Doo\u201d superfan, I am a fan of very cute dogs. I\u2019ll have my Scooby snacks ready in case we ever cross paths.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.latimes.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s not often that I remark on a casting announcement, much less one about \u201cScooby-Doo,\u201d but the second I opened an email from Netflix, my jaw dropped.
