According to Indy100, Netflix has released a first look at its upcoming live-action Scooby-Doo series, giving fans their clearest glimpse yet at the tone, visual style, and world the show is building around everyone's favorite mystery-solving gang.
Why This Is a Huge Moment for Fancasting
A live-action Scooby-Doo on Netflix is exactly the kind of project that gets the fancasting community fired up — and for good reason. We're talking about five iconic roles that every generation has a strong opinion on: the fearless (and suspiciously square-jawed) Fred, the stylish Daphne, the brilliant Velma, the perpetually hungry Shaggy, and of course the voice of Scooby-Doo himself. Netflix hasn't announced any cast yet, which means the field is wide open and the debate is very much on.
The first-look details give us real clues about what kind of actors might fit. Tone matters enormously here — a grittier, mystery-forward take calls for very different casting than a brighter, comedic adventure. Either way, this is the rare adaptation where fan enthusiasm could genuinely shape the cultural conversation before a single name is officially attached.
What myCast Fans Are Already Saying
The myCast community hasn't been waiting around. Across three separate Scooby-Doo fan-cast stories on the platform, users have already started staking their claims on who should bring Mystery Inc. to life.
In the most detailed story — featuring 69 roles — fans have tapped Dacre Montgomery for Fred Jones, a genuinely inspired pick. The Stranger Things alum has the classic leading-man energy and the action-adventure chops to pull off Fred's mix of bravado and accidental charm. For Daphne, Sadie Sink earns a vote — another Stranger Things connection, which says something about how much that cast has embedded itself in the pop culture imagination. Auliʻi Cravalho gets the nod for Velma Dinkley, a choice that feels fresh and exciting given how much Velma's profile has risen in recent years. Noah Jupe rounds out the human quartet as Shaggy — an underrated suggestion, since Jupe's knack for nervous, expressive performances could make for a really endearing take on everyone's favorite cowardly snack enthusiast.
