It looks like Greg Berlanti, the man who gave us the Arrowverse, has set his sights on the Mystery Machine for his next Netflix project.
Yup, Berlanti is developing a Scooby-Doo series at the streaming giant and it’s set to be live-action! Berlanti has a script-to-series commitment for the Hanna-Barbera classic, so it may be going to go to series if Netflix bosses/algorithm/elves like the script enough.
The script is being written by Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg, the writers of Cowboy Bebop and High Fidelity and, as of now, that’s all we know.
It’s unlikely to be related to the 2000s movies written by now-DCU boss James Gunn and starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Matthew Lillard, Linda Cardellini and Freddie Prinze Jr.
My first instinct is to reject this whole idea but, truth is, the 2000s movies weren’t that bad at all and, if this series captures the same cheeky humour and manages to mix in mystery and spookiness, this could be a lot of fun.
What do you all think? Let me know, guys…

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
