January is almost over and I wanted to end the month with my list of Scooby stuff that is coming in 2024. I’m sure I am missing something, so if you know of something else, let me know and I’ll add it and credit you.
2023 went by so fast! It felt like such a blur. My mind still thinks it is June 2023, yet here we are in January 2024.
There are a few things I hope to see this year…a new series, besides Velma season 2, a new movie and some fun merchandise. I’d also like to see them release Scoob! Holiday Haunt! Puppy Scooby from Scoob was super adorable and we need to have more of him!
Let’s take a look at the stuff we know is coming or has been released in 2024…

VELMA SEASON 2 & HALLOWEEN SPECIAL
Velma season 2 is coming! There is no mention of when the 2nd season will air.
There is also a mention of a Velma Halloween special. It hasn’t been confirmed if that will be part of the Velma series or not, however, Mindy Kaling is listed as the voice actor, so it would make sense that it would be part of the series.
MY THOUGHTS
As I was compiling this list, I was thinking there was barely anything coming in 2024! Seeing it all in one blog post makes me realize just how much stuff has been released already this month and how much we still have coming! I’m looking forward to a great year! I just hope it doesn’t go by as fast as last year!
