What happens

Velma is an American adult animated mystery comedy television series featuring characters from the Scooby-Doo franchise. Created by Charlie Grandy for HBO Max, it stars executive producer Mindy Kaling as the voice of Velma Dinkley, with Sam Richardson, Constance Wu, and Glenn Howerton in supporting roles. Grandy also serves as the showrunner of the series. It revolves around Velma Dinkley and the other human members of Mystery Inc. before their official formation, making it the first television series in the franchise to not feature the character Scooby-Doo. The series premiered on January 12, 2023. A second season was released on April 25, 2024, with a Halloween special premiering on October 3 of the same year. In October 2024, the series was canceled after two seasons, which was confirmed 6 days after the release of the Halloween special. Velma received negative reviews from critics, who criticized its humour, meta storytelling, characterization, writing, and departures from the traditional Scooby-Doo format, though the voice acting and animation were praised. Audience reception was overwhelmingly negative. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
