Netflix has confirmed a new Scooby-Doo live action show.

The streaming giant has commissioned an eight-part reimagining of the classic Warner Bros. cartoon focused on the origins of the mystery-solving gang and their iconic dog.

The show — which is yet to get a name — will be written by Midnight Radio's Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg based on the Hanna-Barbera characters.

At summer camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne join forces with scientific townie Velma and the strange but handsome Freddy to solve the spooky mystery of a lonely and lost Great Dane puppy.

The dog may have witnessed a supernatural murder, and the creepy nightmare surrounding the group threatens to expose their secrets.

Peter Friedlander — vice president, scripted series for Netflix — said in a statement: "Mystery, Inc. is back in business! We're excited to bring Scooby-Doo to TV as a live-action series for the first time.

"The beloved franchise has had an impact on pop culture that is undeniable — it's rich with universal themes of friendship that generations of fans have long embraced.

"Together with creative powerhouses Berlanti Productions and Midnight Radio, we're committed to delighting longtime fans and opening up a world of groovy adventures for a new era of meddling kids."
