As the Scooby-Doo gang prepares for another mystery-solving adventure, fans of the animated series are buzzing about the news that a second season of Velma is in development. Despite the show’s divisive critical reception, Warner Bros. Television Group Chairman and CEO Channing Dungey has confirmed that her team is working on a second season of the adult-animated series.
For those unfamiliar with the show, Velma is a modern re-imagining of the classic Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. gang, with a focus on the character of Velma Dinkley. The series follows the teenage super-solver and her friends as they investigate strange happenings and uncover mysteries.
The show has been met with mixed reviews from critics, with a low 42% critical rating on reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Some praised the humor and the portrayals of Daphne and Fred, while others criticized the show for lacking character growth. Despite the criticism, the series was a hit with viewers, becoming HBO Max’s most-watched animated series debut ever.
Given the show’s success and the positive reception from viewers, it’s no surprise that Warner Bros. is moving forward with a second season of Velma. We don’t yet know what to expect from the new season, but we can be sure that the Scooby-Doo gang will be up to their usual antics and that Velma will be at the center of the action.
