According to KLBJ-AM, Netflix has officially revealed the cast for its upcoming live-action Scooby-Doo series, bringing Mystery Inc. to life in a whole new way for the streaming giant.
Why This Is a Big Deal for the Fancasting Community
Scooby-Doo is one of those properties that feels almost impossible to cast — everyone who grew up watching the gang solve mysteries has a fiercely personal vision of who should play Fred, Daphne, Velma, and Shaggy in live action. The 2002 and 2004 films with Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar set a cultural benchmark (for better or worse), and Netflix is now taking its own swing at translating these animated icons into flesh-and-blood characters for a prestige streaming era.
With a full series rather than a one-off film, there are more roles on the table than just the core four — recurring villains, supporting characters, and whoever is hiding behind that mask each week. The fancasting conversation around this one runs deep, and myCast users have had some genuinely compelling ideas about who belongs in that Mystery Machine.
What myCast Fans Have Been Saying
Across three active fan-cast stories on myCast, the community has been piecing together their dream versions of this adaptation — and the picks are worth a close look.
In the most expansive story, Scooby-Doo (which covers an impressive 69 roles), fans have tapped some seriously inspired choices. Dacre Montgomery — best known as Billy in Stranger Things — landed the top spot for Fred Jones, which makes a lot of sense: he's got the jawline, the charisma, and the action-hero energy that Fred's leadership role demands. For Daphne, fans chose Sadie Sink, another Stranger Things alum, which would give the series a built-in chemistry anchor if Netflix were paying attention. Auliʻi Cravalho earned the nod for Velma Dinkley — a genuinely exciting pick that would bring warmth and sharp comedic timing to the gang's brainiac. Rounding out the core four, Noah Jupe was the fan pick for Shaggy, a choice that leans into a more grounded, slightly anxious energy for the role. And in a move that feels essentially non-negotiable, fans voted for the legendary to voice Scooby-Doo himself — because honestly, who else?
