The series will serve as an origin story for the character while taking on a darker tone - the mysteries will revolve more around murder instead of costumed creeps running real-estate scams. Joining Kaling in the cast are Creator/ConstanceWu as Daphne Blake, Creator/GlenHowerton as Fred Jones, and Creator/SamRichardson as Shaggy Rogers. The series will premiere sometime in 2023 on Creator/HBOMax.
