HBO Max Announces New Adult Animated Series 'Velma'

In a bold move, HBO Max has announced a new adult animated series centered around the beloved character Velma Dinkley from the Scooby-Doo universe. The show, simply titled 'Velma,' will offer an original and humorous spin on the complex and colorful past of one of America's most iconic mystery solvers.

As reported by WarnerMedia, the series will be voiced by Mindy Kaling (The Office), who will also serve as an executive producer. The announcement doesn't include information on other cast members or writers/directors, but does confirm that the show will have a suggestive description: 'an adult animated comedy series.'

Velma's attire, style, and socially awkward behavior have often been called out as evidence of her identity outside the heteronormative spectrum, and fans have long applied adult connotations to the Scooby-Doo universe. This new series is likely to continue this trend, offering a more mature take on the beloved franchise.

The announcement comes as part of WarnerMedia's aggressive push into original content, with seven new series orders announced in addition to existing shows in development. The company's Hanna-Barbera family has been particularly successful with offbeat fare like Space Ghost, and it seems that 'Velma' will be no exception.

With its animation family, which includes a range of established 'mature' cartoons from Adult Swim and DC Universe, HBO Max is well-equipped to silo such adult-leaning content in a way that children and families wouldn't accidentally tune into on network TV. It's an exciting development for fans of the franchise, and we can't wait to see what the show has in store.
