The streamer took to social media on Monday, June 8, to share the first glimpse at the show's live-action Scooby-Doo, marking the first time in the beloved franchise that an actual dog is playing the titular character.
A teaser trailer shared by Netflix begins with Scooby's perspective as viewers hear the sound of a dog sniffing and whining. It's then that an adorable Great Dane puppy is scooped into the arms of his best pal, Shaggy (Tanner Hagen), and fans get a first look at the leading pooch. See the teaser below.
"SCOOBY IS FINALLY REAL!!!" Netflix wrote in the caption of the teaser. "Meet our goodest boy in Scooby-Doo: Origins, coming to Netflix in 2027 @scoobydoonetflix."
Scooby-Doo: Origins, which is currently in production ahead of its scheduled 2027 debut, also stars Maxwell Jenkins as Fred Jones, Abby Ryder Fortson as Velma Dinkley and Mckenna Grace as Daphne Blake, with Paul Walter Hauser also set to appear in an undisclosed role.
"During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy (Hagen) and Daphne (Grace) get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder," the show's logline reads. "Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma (Fortson), and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy (Jenkins), 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."
Scooby-Doo: Origins, produced for Netflix by Warner Bros. Television, has Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg serving as showrunners, writers, and executive producers, with Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman (for Berlanti Productions), André Nemec, Jeff Pinkner, and Adrienne Erickson (for Midnight Radio), and Toby Haynes also executive producing.
