The next animated iteration of Scooby-Doo will take the crime-solving Great Dane to Japan — and Tubi.

The free streamer has ordered Yokoso Scooby-Doo! from Warner Bros. Animation. The show, which will air on Tubi in the United States and Cartoon Network internationally, is the first anime series in the long history of Scooby-Doo. (“Yokoso” is a Japanese word for “welcome.”)

Japan’s OLM Studios will provide production services on the series. Itsuro Kawasaki will direct, with Francisco Paredes serving as co-producer.

“Welcome to Mystery Inc., Tubi,” said Sam Register, president of Warner Bros. Animation, Cartoon Network Studios and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe. “We’re excited to partner on this next chapter as we push the Scooby-Doo franchise forward with its first-ever original anime series. Alongside the amazing artists at OLM, we’ll unmask a new batch of mysteries, signature hijinks, and — of course — plenty of Scooby Snacks, all brought to life through the dynamic artistry of anime.”
