Many viewers expressed criticism over the dog's appearance, contending that it does not resemble the iconic Great Dane from the original cartoon and instead looks more like a Labrador, thereby losing the character's familiar charm. In contrast, some fans defended the casting choice, pointing out that the dog accurately depicts a Great Dane puppy, which naturally possess soft, floppy ears, unlike the stylised, cropped ears seen in the cartoon. The eight-part series, slated for a 2027 release, will follow teenage Daphne, Shaggy, Velma, and Fred as they become embroiled in a supernatural murder mystery witnessed by a Great Dane puppy. The cast features Tanner Hagen as Shaggy, Maxwell Jenkins as Fred, Abby Ryder Fortson as Velma, and Mckenna Grace as Daphne, with veteran voice actor Frank Welker set to reprise his role as Scooby.
