The CW Announces Prime-Time Scooby -Doo Special
Before sister network HBO MAX releases the Scooby-Doo inspired animated series Velma, The CW is premiering a prime-time one-hour special that’s all about the ghost-hunting dog.
The Scooby Gang reunites on Friday, October 29 (8:00-9:00pm ET), in SCOOBY-DOO, WHERE ARE YOU NOW!. The gang gathers at Warner Bros. Studios to reminisce about their favorite cases and how they were filmed. But it turns out that the backlot may have its OWN monster problem! Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo investigate this mystery while celebrating the legacy of the franchise during this one-hour special.
Hosted by Janel Parrish, (“Pretty Little Liars”), special guests joining the Scooby gang include Iain Armitage (“Young Sheldon”), author Jerry Beck, Karamo Brown (“Queer Eye”), producer Tony Cervone (“Scoob!”), Seth Green (“Family Guy”), Olivia Liang (“Kung Fu”), producer David Silverman (“The Simpsons”), animator Tom Sito, Mitch Watson (“Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated”), “Weird Al” Yankovic and Cheri Oteri (“Saturday Night Live”). SCOOBY-DOO, WHERE ARE YOU NOW! is from Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Bros. Unscripted Television in association with Warner Horizon and Abominable Pictures. Jonathan Stern writes, directs and executive produces the special. An encore presentation will air on Thursday, November 25 (8:00-9:00pm ET).
I hope this turns out to be another Gravity Falls-type show with an overarching storyline.
