The ladies of Mystery Inc. are taking over.
A “Scooby-Doo” spinoff about Daphne and Velma is in production at Warner Bros., according to Variety.
The live-action movie, simply called “Daphne and Velma,” will star Sarah Jeffrey (“Shades of Blue”) and Sarah Gilman (“Last Man Standing”).
“Before their eventual team-up with Scooby and the gang, bright and optimistic Daphne and whip-smart and analytical Velma are both mystery-solving teens who are best friends but have only met online — until now. Daphne has just transferred to Velma’s school, Ridge Valley High, a tech-savvy institute with all the latest gadgets provided by the school’s benefactor, tech billionaire Tobias Bloom,” the logline reads.
“And while competition is fierce among the students for a coveted internship at Bloom Innovative, Daphne and Velma dig beyond all the gadgets and tech to investigate what is causing some of the brightest students in school to disappear — only to emerge again in a zombie-fied state.”
“Daphne and Velma” will be produced by Blondie Girl Productions, founded by Ashley and Jennifer Tisdale.
“Blondie Girl is committed to telling stories from a female perspective and we could not be more thrilled to give Daphne and Velma their own story,” the sisters said in a joint statement.
“It’s so exciting to partner with Warner Home Entertainment and Blue Ribbon Content to introduce a new generation to the smart, charismatic, fearless females that we all know and love.”
The movie is currently shooting in Atlanta and expected to be released next year.

Jenkies!
Hmm..I don’t know...
Sounds interesting. I'd give it a chance.
Zoinks, I don't think it's a good idea.
Why....just why?
Why? Why? I thought we were done with that movie series!
Also, calling it now: the culprit is this Tobias Bloom guy.
"...and I would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you meddling Synopsis writers!"
This sounds stupid
Okay...This is weird...Who the heck would green light this movie?
on one hand, velma.
but on the other no thank you please go away.
I won't judge a movie based on it's cover and to be honest, these two are my favorite members of the gang, however, I fear it'll be a flop unless Fred, Shaggy and Scooby have at least some involvement.
Just please don't be a cringy teen movie, I've lived that life and watched it many times already.
