So long, Velma: Max has opted not to renew adult animated series after two seasons.
“Over the past two seasons, Mindy [Kaling] and Charlie [Grandy] have created an incredibly fun and fresh world within the iconic whodunit franchise,” according to a statement by Max. “While we won’t be moving forward with another season of the series, we thank them for their compelling coming-of-age storytelling, unrivaled clues, and hilarious hijinks.”
The 10-episode second season of the Max Original from Warner Bros. Animation dropped April 25.
The show followed Velma (voiced by Mindy Kaling) — the unsung and under-appreciated brains of the Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. gang — as she found a way to balance her detective work with the demands of her newfound popularity before it’s too late.
The series also stars Constance Wu, Sam Richardson, and Glenn Howerton in leading roles. Guest actors included 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 Karl-Anthony Towns.
