ATLANTA April 25, 2026 – Netflix has officially started filming its highly anticipated live-action series Scooby-Doo: Origins, a prequel that will delve into the early days of the iconic Mystery Inc. gang and their first mystery-solving adventures.
The series, which explores the origins of the beloved teenage sleuths and their Great Dane companion, is being shot in Atlanta, Georgia. It promises a fresh take on the classic Hanna-Barbera franchise, blending mystery, humor, and the timeless “meddling kids” dynamic that has entertained generations.

Variety released the first-look image showing the four young leads peeking curiously from behind a large wooden barn-style door featuring a paw print — a playful nod to the classic Mystery Inc. aesthetic.
The eight-episode series is being led by showrunners and head writers Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg. It is produced by Greg Berlanti’s Berlanti Productions, Midnight Radio, and Warner Bros. Television.
No release date has been announced yet. Fans can expect more updates as production continues in Atlanta.
