Netflix’s live-action Scooby-Doo series has finally found its leads. Tanner Hagen and Abby Ryder Fortson are set to play Shaggy and Velma, Nexus Point News has learned.

Mckenna Grace was recently announced to play Daphne in the Scooby-Doo series and today InSneider reported that Maxwell Jenkins would play Fred in the series. Nexus Point News has previously reported that Frank Welker would voice Scooby-Doo in the series.

Netflix first unveiled the project in March, confirming that Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg are set to serve as showrunners on what’s being described as a “modern reimagining of the iconic mystery-solving group of teens and their very special dog.”

The series logline teases a darker, heightened take on the beloved franchise:

During their final summer at Camp Ruby-Spears, old friends Shaggy and Daphne become entangled in a haunting mystery involving a lonely Great Dane puppy who may have witnessed a supernatural murder. Alongside pragmatic townie Velma and the enigmatic new kid Freddy, the group is pulled into a chilling investigation that threatens to unravel the secrets each of them is hiding.

Based on the classic Hanna-Barbera characters, the live-action adaptation is produced by Appelbaum and Rosenberg along with their production company. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman will executive produce via Berlanti Productions, with André Nemec and Jeff Pinkner on board through Midnight Radio. Warner Bros. Television and Netflix are co-producing.
