Max has finally announced the Velma Season 2 release date for the next installment to Mindy Kaling’s animated Scooby-Doo prequel spin-off.
The series is scheduled to make its return on April 25. This comes after over a year since the comedy had wrapped up its 10-episode first season, which received negative reviews from fans and critics. Despite the poor critical performance, the series still managed to earn high viewership ratings due to the negative attention.
Who’s involved in Velma?
Velma is executive produced by showrunner Charlie Grandy, Kaling, Howard Klein, and Sam Register. Season 1 features the voices of Kaling as the titular character, Constance Wu as Daphne, Sam Richardson as Shaggy, and Glenn Howerton as Fred. Additional cast includes Jane Lynch, Wanda Sykes, Russell Peters, Melissa Fumero, Stephen Root, Gary Cole, Ken Leung, Cherry Jones, Frank Welker, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Fortune Feimster, Yvonne Orji, Sarayu Blue, Nicole Byer, Ming-Na Wen, Shay Mitchell, Debby Ryan, Kulap Vilaysak, and more.
“Velma is an adult animated comedy series telling the origin story of Velma Dinkley, the unsung and underappreciated brains of the Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. gang,” the series’ synopsis reads. “An original and humorous spin that unmasks the complex and colorful past of one of America’s most beloved mystery solvers.”
