‘Go Go Mystery Machine’: New ‘Scooby-Doo’ Series to Reinvent the Franchise!!

Two years ago, Warner Bros. announced its upcoming Scooby-Doo anime called Go Go Mystery Machine. This series is set to bring back the wacky adventures of Shaggy and Scooby-Doo as they venture to a new place with new friends and face new foes. While the project has been in development, there have been few updates on its progress until now.

Go Go Mystery Machine has yet to announce its cast and release date, but it’s said to follow Shaggy and Scooby-Doo, as they travel to Japan on an “ultimate foodie adventure.” But during their trip, they “unwittingly unleash hundreds of mischievous mythical monsters that are now causing trouble all over the country.” To stop these monsters, the duo is joined by Scooby’s uncle, Daisuke-Doo, Etsuko, and Toshiro, as they help “solve the mystery and catch the monsters.”

According to ComicBook.com, Warner Bros. gave an update on Go Go Mystery Machine during the “Creators x Hollywood” panel, where Warner Bros. Animation president Sam Register offered a promising update on the upcoming show. He said:

“We’ve been doing that with Scooby-Doo. We had Mystery Incorporated, where we had a love triangle between Shaggy and Velma, and Scooby. We’ve done some stranger stuff. I’m currently producing and developing an anime right now. We’re doing stuff in that direction. Every now and then, we get a character that we can stretch and do something new with.”

What Is ‘Scooby-Doo!’ About?

Scooby-Doo! is a long-running media franchise that began in 1969 and has since produced numerous TV shows, films, video games, and other media. The Scooby-Doo! franchise follows a similar formula: a crime-solving group called Mystery Incorporated, consisting of Fred, Daphne, Velma, and Shaggy, and their dog named Scooby-Doo, travel to different places to solve supernatural mysteries in their van, the Mystery Machine. They learn that a monster or supernatural force is causing the problem, and they begin their investigation. After hijinks, antics, and chase scenes ensue, a trap is set, and they catch the monster, only to unmask the human behind the chaos.

The most recent Scooby-Doo project to come out is Velma, a spin-off that was heavily criticized by fans and critics alike and ran for only two seasons. Additionally, Go Go Mystery Machine isn’t the only Japanese-inspired spin-off in the works. Back in January 2026, Warner Bros. also announced a new series called Scooby-Doo! Gokko, which is said to be similar to Tom & Jerry Gokko, giving the classic cartoon a chibi art style, is scheduled to come out in 2027. Recently, it was announced that Netflix plans to release its live-action adaptation of the iconic cartoon, starring Mckenna Grace as Daphne Blake, Tanner Hagen as Shaggy Rogers, Abby Ryder Fortson as Velma Dinkley, and Maxwell Jenkins as Fred Jones
