Look alive, Scooby Gang, because we have a new series to obsess over. Velma is coming to screens soon, and it’s set to give fans a chance to learn more about the iconic turtle-neck-wearing character. Here’s everything we know about the show and how to watch it from Australia.
What is Velma about?
As you can probably gather from the title, it focuses on the story of one Velma Dinkley. Velma is set to offer a backstory to the classic character from the Scooby-Doo franchise.
A synopsis for the new HBO series reads as follows:
An adult animated comedy series telling the origin story of Velma Dinkley (Mindy Kaling), the unsung and underappreciated brains of the Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. gang. This original and humorous spin unmasks the complex and colourful past of one of America’s most beloved mystery solvers.
Can we see a trailer?
Jinkies! Of course you can. HBO dropped a trailer for Velma a few months back; you can find it below:
