It’s Me Margaret) as Velma Dinkley, Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters: Afterlife) as Daphne Blake, and Maxwell Jenkins (Lost in Space) will as Fred Jones. Now, The Hollywood Reporter has revealed the names of 15 of their co-stars! Here’s the list:
The logline reads, A modern reimagining of the iconic mystery-solving group of teens and their very special dog. 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.
We’ve previously heard that Paul Walter Hauser (Cobra Kai) is also in the cast, taking on an unspecified role. The Hollywood Reporter speculates that he might be providing the voice of Scooby-Doo.
Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg (via Midnight Radio) (High Fidelity, Everything Sucks!) are on board as the showrunners, executive producers and writers of the series. The other executive producers on the project include Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman (via Berlanti Productions and its overall deal with Warner Bros. Television), André Nemec, Jeff Pinkner, and Adrienne Erickson (via Midnight Radio), and Toby Haynes (EP/Episode 101 Director).
