According to Variety, the series based on the characters created by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears is currently being filmed in Atlanta.
The latest teaser came two months after Netflix shared the first look of the series in April.
With Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg serving as the writers and showrunners, the series will feature Tanner Hagen as Norville "Shaggy" Rogers. The rest of the characters of the Mystery Inc. group will be portrayed by Maxwell Jenkins (Fred Jones), Abby Ryder Fortson (Velma Dinkley, and Mckenna Grace (Daphne Blake).
Applebaum and Rosenberg will also executive produce together with André Nemec, Jeff Pinkner, and Adrienne Erickson under the Midnight Radio banner.
Per the official release, Netflix describes the show to be following "Shaggy and his old pal Daphne Blake (Mckenna Grace) during their final summer at camp."
"The teens become embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely, lost Great Dane puppy that may have witnessed a supernatural murder. With help from the pragmatic and scientific townie Velma Dinkley (Abby Ryder Fortson) and the strange but ever-so-handsome new kid Fred Jones (Maxwell Jenkins), they set out to solve the case that's pulling them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all their secrets."
Paul Walter Hauser has also joined the cast, but his role is yet to be disclosed.
