Netflix has revealed Scooby-Doo: Origins has added even more cast — here’s the details
Mckenna Grace, Tanner Hagen, Abby Ryder Fortson, and Maxwell Jenkins lead an ever-growing cast.
Who has joined the cast of Scooby-Doo: Origins
André Benjamin (High Life, Jimi: All Is by My Side) and Cathy Moriarty (Raging Bull, Casper) are joining in undisclosed roles. If you follow the link to the press release, you will see some 15 names now, with many roles not revealed. While we’ve covered the show before, it’s worth repeating the outline. And also worth saying the Scooby gang will include Mckenna Grace (The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, Regretting You) as Daphne Blake, Tanner Hagen (The Pitt, Dark Light) as Shaggy Rogers, Abby Ryder Fortson (Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret., Carousel) as Velma Dinkley, and Maxwell Jenkins (Lost in Space, The Bondsman) as Fred Jones. With a very special dog by their side, the team will crack haunting cases, but in this iteration, fans will get to see where Mystery Inc got started. The gang are shown in the pictures above.
The series, which explores how the teens first teamed up, follows old friends Shaggy and Daphne during their final summer at camp. The two get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely, lost Great Dane puppy that may have witnessed a supernatural murder. With help from the pragmatic and scientific townie Velma and the strange but ever-so-handsome new kid Freddy, they set out to solve the case that’s pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets.
What we really want are trailers and a date for the show. We’ll keep you posted!
