A live-action Scooby-Doo series could soon be coming to Netflix, Variety has learned from sources.

The one-hour drama project is said to be nearing a deal at the streamer with a script-to-series commitment. Exact plot details are being kept under wraps aside from the fact it will be based on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon. Warner Bros. Television will produce, with the studio having recently launched the “Dead Boys Detectives” series at Netflix.

Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg serve as writers and will also executive produce along with André Nemec and Jeff Pinkner under their Midnight Radio banner. Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Leigh London Redman will executive produce via Berlanti productions (the company is currently under an overall deal at WBTV). Jonathan Gabay of Berlanti Productions and Adrienne Erickson will co-executive produce.

I love Scooby and I actually love the live action films,the third film being my favourite so would love to see another live take.

Matthew Lillard as Shaggy's dad or Daphne's dad or somebody who's bankrolling Mystery Inc. It doesn't matter, give him a prominent role!

Throw in Linda Cardellini as the mom and I'm in.

SCOOBY, MOVE YOUR HEAD

General thoughts:

1) Make something original
2) They JUST re-launched this brand with the least popular character being the focal point
3) Everyone hated that Scooby Doo and I am guessing they will make the same mistakes again.

The live action Scooby-Doo movies have generally been good, so I'm willing to give this a sh-

*sees that one of the executive producers also worked on the failed/unreleased live action Powerpuff Girls show*

...you know what? Maybe I'll hold off a bit and see what the reviews look like.

I will keep saying do a Reluctant Werewolf sequel and bring back Googie until it happens
