Max has decided to cancel the adult animated series Velma, just days after the debut of a Halloween special. The show, which features a reimagined version of Velma Dinkley from the Scooby-Doo franchise, had its first season launch in January 2023, followed by a second season in April 2023. Despite being well-received for its fresh take on the iconic characters, the series will not proceed to a third season.
Mindy Kaling, who voices Velma, was among the cast that included Glenn Howerton, Sam Richardson, Constance Wu, Jane Lynch, Ming-Na Wen, and Wanda Sykes. The narrative focused on Velma’s quest to uncover the mystery behind her mother’s disappearance and the murders of several teenage girls.
In a statement, Max acknowledged the efforts of Kaling and showrunner Charlie Grandy, commending them for their engaging storytelling and humor throughout the show’s two-season run.
