By Netflix is finishing up a deal that will see a live-action TV series version of the classic Hanna-Barbera animated cartoon “Scooby-Doo” come to the streamer.
The project reportedly has a script-to-series commitment at Netflix – so if the script is well received, a straight-to-series order will be triggered.
Greg Berlanti, the TV super producer who spearheaded the Arrowverse on The CW network, will executive produce the new series which will be written by Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg (“High Fidelity,” “Cowboy Bebop”).
Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, André Nemec and Jeff Pinkner will also executive produce. A deal has not yet formally closed on the series.
Warner Bros. Television, which owns animation studio Hanna-Barbera, will produce the series.
The new show follows in the wake of the two live-action films in the early 2000s and, more recently, the adult animated spinoff “Velma” which has been controversial and divisive with the fanbase.
Berlanti most recently produced the just launched “Dead Boy Detectives” for the service and executive produced on shows like “You,” “Superman and Lois,” “All American,” and the late “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”.
