Lillard says that he is working on a new project with Scooby-Doo and gives a hint about what it is. Hanna-Barbera's Scooby-Doo has been on many different shows since its start in 1969, but the future of the brand is uncertain at this point.
Scoob!, the latest film, was an animated version of the first live-action films. It was less successful than its predecessors despite having an all-star cast starring Mark Wahlberg, Gina Rodriguez, Zac Efron, and Amanda Seyfried.
A sequel called Scoob! A Holiday Haunt was finished, but David Zaslav decided not to share it, even though it was finished.Mindy Kailing starred in Max's controversial animated adult spin-off show Velma, which aired in 2023.
The first season was poorly received, but a second will run in 2024. Max's Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Pups was set to star Frank Welker as Scooby and Lillard as Shaggy.
A show from Max and Cartoon Network was meant for kids in preschool. It was supposed to start airing in the summer of 2024, but WBD ended up cancelling it all.
But it looks like the new Scooby-Doo project Lillard is working on now will have a similar idea. Lillard said that the goal is for kids to become fully involved in a Mystery Inc. adventure with the crew.
Lillard's reappearance could intrigue consumers in a fresh Scooby-Doo virtual experience. The new project must survive streaming's harsh world. I hope it won't be discontinued soon like the others.
