It’s Me Margaret) as Velma Dinkley, Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters: Afterlife) as Daphne Blake, and Maxwell Jenkins (Lost in Space) will as Fred Jones.

Well, if you’ve been waiting to get a look at Scoob, today is your lucky today. An image of the pup has been unveiled and can be seen at the bottom of this article, and in the embed above you can watch the first teaser trailer for this series!
What is Scooby-Doo: Origins about?
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.
Paul Walter Hauser (Cobra Kai) is also in the cast.

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).
