"Mystery Incorporated" is a serialized supernatural mystery drama with a tone similar to Wednesday or Stranger Things. The series picks up three years after high school. The gang has disbanded after a "mask-pulling" went wrong, leaving them disillusioned and estranged.
Fred is a disgraced former cop obsessed with conspiracy theories; Daphne is a bored socialite influencer seeking real danger; Velma is a disgraced academic running an occult bookstore; and Shaggy (with Scooby) is living in the Mystery Machine, drifting aimlessly. They are forced back to their hometown of Crystal Cove when a series of disappearances suggests that the old "spooks" they used to bust might have been covering up a much darker, ancient reality. The show blends monster-of-the-week investigations with a season-long arc involving a Lovecraftian entity beneath the town. Scooby is rendered with photorealistic CGI (like Paddington), capable of limited speech that only the gang can understand.
