'The original Hanna-Barbera shows are still out there to watch. We are not erasing the originals. We just want [Velma] to be a little ice planet on the outer regions of the Scooby-verse!' - Creator Charlie Grandy 📺
A few months after the show set the internet aflame, Charlie Grandy is weighing in on the backlash for HBO Max's Velma. Developed by Grandy with creative input from star and executive producer Mindy Kaling, the series acted as an adult-oriented origin story for the titular Scooby-Doo character navigating high school, a love quadrangle between the Mytery Inc. and the mystery of local teenage girls being murdered.
The original Hanna-Barbera shows are still out there to watch. We are not erasing the originals. We just want to be a little ice planet on the outer regions of the Scooby-verse! Mindy came to me and said she'd love to work on a story with Velma...She loved the character and thought it would be funny to have her at the center of a show. We asked ourselves, 'Why stop [at Velma being South Asian]?' None of these characters are rooted to being white.
