New Scooby-Doo Spin-off in Works After Velma, Release Window Revealed
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A new Scooby-Doo project is on the way, signaling another direction
for the franchise after the end of Velma. The upcoming series has
been quietly revealed with a new title and a planned release window.

Scooby-Doo! Gokko announced with release date with window
Scooby-Doo! Gokko was officially announced during the Scooby-Doo x
Miss Frandy makeup launch event in Brazil in November 2025. According
to TV Laint, the spin-off is currently in development and scheduled
to be released in 2027.

The title Scooby-Doo! Gokko references the Japanese word gokko, which
describes children's pretend or role-playing games. The series will
follow a chibi, anime-inspired aesthetic similar to Tom & Jerry Gokko,
a series that premiered in Japan in 2022 and internationally in 2025
on YouTube and HBO Max.

Warner Bros. has not released any visual previews or confirmed the
final art style of Scooby-Doo! Gokko. Warner Bros. plans to apply the
same stylized approach used in Tom & Jerry Gokko, which featured short
episodes and a kawaii/chibi animation design inspired by Japanese
properties like Hello Kitty.

The new spin-off may originate from Go-Go Mystery Machine, a project
announced at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in
June 2024. In that series, Shaggy and Scooby visit Japan and
accidentally unleash hundreds of mythical Yokai monsters. Scooby's
uncle Daisuke-Doo, magical friend Etsuko, and tech expert Toshiro
assist them in solving the mystery.

Warner Bros. has not issued updates on Go-Go Mystery Machine since its
announcement. TV Laint notes that while some sources believe
Scooby-Doo! Gokko reworks that concept, the connection remains
unconfirmed.

Warner Bros. has an extended history of anime influence across its
properties. Examples include Batman Ninja, Suicide Squad Isekai, and
Rick and Morty: The Anime, produced in collaboration with Japanese
studios like Studio Deen, Sola Entertainment, and Telecom Animation
Film.

Warner Bros. has not released further details about Scooby-Doo! Gokko.
The studio plans to share more information in the coming months.
