Mystery Inc. feature teenagers solving crimes and mysteries
Scooby-Doo! was created in 1969 by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears and features teenagers investigating supernatural mysteries and solving crimes. Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Velma Dinkley and Shaggy Rogers and their talking Great Dane Scooby-Doo make up the “gang” known as Mystery Inc.
An animated Velma series currently airs on the Max streaming service and just finished its second season, with Mindy Kaling; however, an episode revealed the real Velma still exists along with the real Daphne. Apparently, the series also kills off Velma at the hands of Scrappy-Doo.
