Development

On June 17, 2014, Warner Bros. announced that they would end the Scooby-Doo film series with Randall Green writing a new film.[5][6] On August 17, 2015, Tony Cervone was hired to direct the animated film on the script by Matt Lieberman, while Charles Roven and Richard Suckle would produce the film along with Allison Abbate.[7] Dan Povenmire would be involved in a creative capacity and would executive produce the film.[7]

At 2016 CinemaCon, the film's official title was announced to be S.C.O.O.B., about Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Machine gang working for a larger organization.[8] The film is intended to lead into a Hanna-Barbera Cinematic Universe.[9]

In September 2016, it was reported that Dax Shepard would be directing the film along with Cervone, whilst he would also write the script along with Lieberman.[10] In October 2018, it was announced that Shepard was no longer a part of the project and was replaced by Kelly Fremon Craig as screenwriter.[1]

Casting

In March 2019, Frank Welker was revealed to be reprising his role as Scooby-Doo, while Will Forte, Gina Rodriguez, and Tracy Morgan signed on to voice Shaggy, Velma, and Captain Caveman, respectively.[4][1] Later that month, Zac Efron and Amanda Seyfried joined the voice cast as Fred and Daphne.[11] Matthew Lillard and Grey Griffin, the longtime voices of Shaggy and Daphne, respectively, claimed that they had not been contacted about this decision.[12][13] Efron’s casting as Fred also marks the first time the character will not be voiced by Welker, not counting the times the character was a child or portrayed in live-action. In April, Ken Jeong and Kiersey Clemons were added to the cast.[14]

Release

The film is scheduled to be released by Warner Bros. on May 15, 2020.[15] Previously, the film was set for a September 21, 2018 release.[7]
