Matthew Lillard’s Support and Hopes for Netflix’s Scooby-Doo

Netflix is bringing back our childhood memories with a live-action Scooby-Doo series in the works. Although Matthew Lillard, the longtime star of the franchise, hasn’t been involved in the project yet, he shared his thoughts with EW. He expressed his excitement for the show’s return, emphasizing its importance for storytelling and introducing kids to themes like friendship and teamwork. Lillard also humorously hoped that the only CGI in the new series would be used to show Shaggy’s neck stretching after eating massive sandwiches.

As a lifelong fan of Scooby-Doo, I appreciate Lillard’s sentiments and share his love for the gang. He hopes the new show stays true to the franchise’s core values and captures the essence of friendship that has been a hallmark of the series. The new series, backed by producer Greg Berlanti, will follow Daphne and Shaggy as they investigate a mysterious case at a summer camp, with a fresh spin on the familiar characters.

While Lillard acknowledges his purist view of the franchise, he remains optimistic about the new iteration and its potential to keep the spirit of Scooby-Doo alive. As long as the writers stay true to the original themes of friendship and teamwork, the show is poised to captivate audiences and carry on the legacy of the beloved mystery-solving quintet. So let’s keep our fingers crossed for a successful revival of this cherished childhood classic!
