'Scooby-Doo: Origins' Adds André 3000 and Cathy Moriarty to Live-Action Netflix Series

The Mystery Machine is picking up some serious star power for its next television incarnation. Outkast legend André 3000 and Oscar-nominated Hollywood veteran Cathy Moriarty have officially joined the cast of Netflix’s upcoming live-action series, *Scooby-Doo: Origins*. Both performers are locked in for recurring roles as the production officially takes shape. Filming on the high-profile project is currently underway on location in Atlanta, Georgia. Netflix is building out a live-action take on the legendary animation franchise, designed to explore the backstory of the famous mystery-solving gang before they became world-renowned investigators of the supernatural.

Specific details regarding the exact characters André 3000 and Moriarty will play are being kept secret by the streaming service for the time being. However, industry reports confirm that viewers can expect both actors to appear in multiple episodes throughout the show's first season run. The new additions expand an already buzzing young ensemble. Netflix previously announced that Maxwell Jenkins will play team leader Fred Jones, stepping into the shoes of the trap-loving head of Mystery Inc. Beside him, Tanner Hagen has been cast as Norville "Shaggy" Rogers, taking on the memorable role of the gang's perpetually hungry slacker best friend.

Moriarty's inclusion brings substantial acting prestige to the teen-focused supernatural project, while André 3000 continues to expand his distinct acting resume alongside his storied musical career. Bringing together veteran talent with rising young actors highlights the streamer's ambition for the reimagined franchise. Fans looking forward to seeing the gang back in action will have to wait a little while longer. *Scooby-Doo: Origins* is not slated to hit screens immediately, as Netflix is aiming for an official premiere in 2027. Production will remain centered in Atlanta as filming continues to move forward on the origin story.
