Scooby-Doo character Velma Dinkley got her own “adult animated series” over on Max earlier this year, and Max has confirmed this week that “Velma” Season 2 is on the way.
Deadline reports, “Suzanna Makkos, EVP, Original Comedy and Adult Animation, Max and Adult Swim, revealed the renewal during Annecy International Animated Film Festival.”
“Velma” is an adult animated comedy series telling the origin story of Velma Dinkley, the unsung and underappreciated brains of the Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. gang.
An original and humorous spin that unmasks the complex and colorful past of one of America’s most beloved mystery solvers, executive producer Mindy Kaling voices the titular character.
The voice cast also includes Sam Richardson (Werewolves Within).
Charlie Grandy, Howard Klein and Sam Register also serve as executive producers, with Grandy serving as showrunner. “Velma” is produced by Warner Bros. Animation.
The character of Velma Dinkley has previously been voiced by Nicole Jaffe, Pat Stevens, Marla Frumkin, Christina Lange, B.J. Ward, Mindy Cohn, Stephanie D’Abruzzo, Kate Micucci, Trisha Gum, Ariana Greenblatt, and Gina Rodriguez. She was also played in the world of live-action by Linda Cardellini, in both Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.
