Netflix Casts Scooby-Doo Live-Action Series; Darren Star's Next Comedy Series Uncorked
Netflix has officially cast the Scooby gang for the Untitled Scooby-Doo live-action series, which will uncover how this mystery-solving crew, and their beloved dog, first teamed up to crack the haunting case that started it all. Mckenna Grace (The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, Regretting You) will play "Daphne Blake." Tanner Hagen (The Pitt, Dark Light) will play "Shaggy Rogers." Abby Ryder Fortson (Are You There God? It's Me Margaret, Carousel) will play "Velma Dinkley." Maxwell Jenkins (Lost in Space, The Bondsman) will play "Fred Jones."
A modern reimagining of the iconic mystery-solving group of teens and their very special dog. During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder. Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma, and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy, they set out to solve the case that is pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets.
Darren Star has introduced us to Carrie Bradshaw and her cosmo and Emily Cooper and her Champère. But his next creation may be his booziest yet. Uncorked delves into the life of a talented but self-destructive winemaker who returns to Napa for her second chance at love, legacy and that elusive 100 point wine. (Not that she's constantly refreshing winespectator.com or anything.) This is a woman whose greatest passion is also her fatal flaw - a failing that, usually begins before lunch on Tuesday.
Star will executive produce Uncorked along with David Schulner (New Amsterdam), Tony Hernandez (Emily In Paris, Free Bert) and Lilly Burns (Emily In Paris, Free Bert) under their banner Counterpart, while also continuing to helm Emily in Paris. Emily was recently renewed for Season 6 after Season 5 spent five weeks on Netflix's Global Top 10 list. Star and Schulner are also co-showrunners and writers.
