Who’s involved in Velma?
Velma is executive produced by showrunner Charlie Grandy, Mindy Kaling, Howard Klein, and Sam Register. It features the voices of Kaling as the titular character, Constance Wu as Daphne, Sam Richardson as Shaggy, and Glenn Howerton as Fred. The Season 2 cast will also include Russell Peters, Melissa Fumero, Sarayu Blue, Jane Lynch, Wanda Sykes, Cherry Jones, Frank Welker, Nicole Byer, Gary Cole, Andia Winslow, and Sara Ramirez.
The first season was initially met with overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and fans, who weren’t happy with the changes it made to the original lore. However, its poor reception inadvertently drew high viewership ratings, which led the series to secure its renewal.
