(Somewhat) New Live Action Series
First, let me say that all images and concept belong to Jessica Chancellor and Dade Elza who created this series, and also play Daphne and Fred. All of the following is basically my impressions from having watched the first episode. | |
The series actually came out last year 2023 and as far as I can tell Episode #1 is the only episode available to watch. They are working on Episode #2, but are funding this project as they go. It brings new meaning to working on a low budget, and is probably less of a budget than the food budget for most movies. Still, I am shocked at how much they did with so little to work with! Here are the cast pictures, and yes, Scooby is a real dog this time around! | |
Velma Dinkley - Dayeanne Hutton |
Fred Jones - Dade Elza |
Daphne Blake - Jessica Chancellor |
Norville "Shaggy" Rogers - Chris Villain Scooby-Doo - Thor Von Schultz |
This is a slightly more adult take on the gang. Episode #1 sets the stage by introducing the characters and throwing a big mystery at their feet! Obviously, Shaggy and Scooby are already friends predating the plot. Velma and Fred are the first two to link up to untangle a massive mystery. Daphne and Shaggy haven't really joined up with them yet, but are deeply involved in the mystery as well. The episode runs about an hour and I found it very entertaining! I won't throw in any spoilers as I this it is well worth watching. My take on Velma was that they really kept her in the original character. This is a giant relief after enduring that other Velma series we were subjected to! | |
