Live-action series adaptation of Hanna-Barbera's Scooby-Doo in development at Netflix

Netflix, Greg Berlanti‘s Berlanti Productions, and Warner Bros are in talks to make a live-action series adaptation of Scooby-Doo. The series is based on Hanna-Barbera's animated cartoon Scooby-Doo. Netflix has made a script-to-series commitment, which means that if the screenplay is received well, this will result in a straight-to-series order for a live-action update of the cartoon.

Created in 1969 by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, the first animated series Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! was launched by Hanna-Barbera in 1986.

This series won't be the first time that Scooby-doo live adaptation is made. The 2002 Scooby-Doo adaptation starred Freddie Prinze Jr as Fred, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne, Matthew Lillard as Shaggy, and Linda Cardellini as Velma. A sequel with the same cast, titled Scooby-Doo: Monsters, was released in 2004.

Warner Bros Television will produce the series after its recent launch of the Dead Boys Detectives series at Netflix. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Leigh London Redman for Berlanti Productions are executive producing Scooby-Doo! The Live-Action Series, alongside Midnight Radio's Appelbaum, Rosenberg, André Nemec and Jeff Pinkner.

The plot of the series is still under wraps.
