Mckenna Grace is heading back into the world of mystery, monsters, and meddling kids. The actor has officially joined Netflix’s upcoming live-action ‘Scooby-Doo’ series, where she will portray a young Daphne Blake in a story exploring how the iconic Mystery Inc. gang first came together.
The project is described as a modern reimagining of the beloved cartoon, rewinding the clock to a formative summer filled with secrets, supernatural whispers, and the kind of creeping dread that hides behind sunny campfire smoke.
According to the official logline, the story unfolds during the group’s final summer at camp. Old friends Shaggy and Daphne become entangled in a haunting mystery tied to a lonely, lost Great Dane puppy that may have witnessed a supernatural murder.

They soon join forces with the pragmatic and scientifically minded Velma, along with the strange yet striking new arrival, Freddy. Together, the four teens begin unravelling a case that threatens to drag their hidden truths into the open and pull them deep into a creeping nightmare.
This casting marks a full-circle return for Grace, who previously voiced a young Daphne in the 2020 animated feature ‘Scoob!.’
Netflix picked up the show for eight episodes in March 2025.
