While fans have seen plenty of live action versions of Mystery Inc. over the years, including the hit 2002 movie and the 2009 television film Scooby Doo! The Mystery Begins, Scooby has always remained an animated character. That is about to change.

The new series, currently in production in Atlanta, will explore the origins of the beloved mystery solving gang. Netflix first revealed the cast and a sneak peek of the characters back in April.

The show comes from creators Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg and is expected to bring a fresh take to one of the most recognizable franchises in television history.

Scooby Doo first debuted in 1969 and has remained a pop culture favorite for generations. Now, fans will finally get to see the famous Great Dane brought to life when Scooby Doo: Origins premieres on Netflix in 2027.
