‘Scooby Doo Live Action’ Netflix Series Casts Paul Walker Hauser

Jinkies! Paul Walker Hauser (Black Bird, The Naked Gun) has been cast in the untitled Scooby-Doo live-action series as a show regular.

Mystery Inc. might have another case to solve because his role is being kept under wraps for now. However, What’s on Netflix believes the actor to be Scooby’s original owner. This is a change-up from the previous iterations, as Shaggy was believed to have been the dog’s owner from birth.

Frank Welker is reportedly voicing Scooby-Doo, according to Nexus Point News. Over the last five decades, Welker has voiced both Fred and Scooby-Doo.

The series is produced by Warner Bros. Television and Berlanti Productions. Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg wrote the series and serve as showrunners via Midnight Radio.

Here is everything we know about the upcoming series, which joins many iterations of the franchise, including live-action movies and shows, based on the characters created by Hanna-Barbera in 1960.
