That’s probably why she is the star of this exciting new show. Who is the voice actress handling the titular role — and what about the other lead characters?

There isn’t a voice actor in place for the character of Scooby-Doo, because he won’t be included in Velma. This is unfortunate news for people who were interested in seeing all members of the gang coming together to take down bad guys and sketchy villains. In order for the show to have a more mature vibe for adult audiences, there simply wasn’t a place for the Great Dane.
