There has been a recent buzz surrounding Scooby Doo’s Velma Dinkley, especially with the release of Amazon Prime’s Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo! confirming that the character is gay. Fans and the internet collectively celebrated this revelation.
This chatter sets the stage for HBO Max’s Velma, a standalone project that delves into an origin story for Velma and her companions. This adult animated series will take a different approach by omitting the iconic Scooby-Doo.
The lead character, voiced by Mindy Kaling, brings sass and charm to Velma, as seen in the teaser. Kaling, along with co-creator Charlie Grandy, adds a fresh perspective to the beloved character.
The star-studded cast includes Constance Wu as Daphne, Glenn Howerton as Fred, and Sam Richardson as Shaggy. With appearances from notable names like Weird Al Yankovic, Jane Lynch, and more, Velma promises an engaging storyline.
Diverging from the usual Scooby-Doo narrative, Velma focuses on the group investigating the mysterious death of a classmate in their high school locker room.
The teaser kicks off on a meta note, with Velma addressing HBO Max about the unconventional origin story, hinting at potential changes ahead. Fans eagerly anticipate the debut of Velma in 2023 on HBO Max.
