What breed is Scooby Doo as Netflix fans divided by | UK News
Netflix has dropped a teaser for its new Scooby-Doo sequence, but fans are already raising eyebrows over the casting of its canine star.
Scooby-Doo: Origins was first announced by Netflix in March 2025 with fans thrilled at the news of an eight-episode live-action sequence about Shaggy’s first thriller with his new best pal Scooby Doo.
The first-look teaser has now arrived, revealing a mysterious determine lurking in the bushes, eyeing up a teenager in a stripey shirt before leaping out — with the brown pet launching an assault of enthusiastic licks on the unsuspecting teen.
The caption excitedly reads: “SCOOBY IS FINALLY REAL!!! Meet the goodest boy in Scooby-Doo: Origins, coming to Netflix in 2027”.
Yet it wasn’t long before viewers started to query whether or not the pet chosen to painting Scooby-Doo was really the appropriate match for the long-lasting position.
“Bro wtf he’s supposed to be a great Dane”, somebody said on X.
Another said: “Did y’all forget Scooby doo is a Great Dane or….?”, with another person writing: “Scooby is supposed to be a Great Dane. What is this trash?”
A fellow viewer said: “Not saying the dogs not cute, but that’s not Scooby Doo. That’s a Scooby don’t.”
Another added: “Isn’t Scooby-Doo supposed to be a Great Dane…[he looks] like a Labrador.”
Across every movie and animated tv sequence, Scooby-Doo has always been portrayed as a Great Dane — and while many viewers are querying Netflix’s determination, the pup featured in the teaser is, in fact, a Great Dane pet.
Others, meanwhile, have set apart the breed debate fully, selecting instead to focus on just how “adorable” the teaser really is.
One YouTube consumer enthused: “A real dog? Netflix just won 2027. If this doesn’t end up being the cutest thing on television, I don’t know what will.”
A second concurred: “I love that it’s a real puppy and not CGI. It’s beautiful.”
A 3rd gushed: “He is so cute!”, while yet another added: “Aw. Cuteness overload!”
Scooby-Doo: Origins will likely be launched someday in 2027 on Netflix.
