United Kingdom, March 27 -- Netflix has confirmed a new 'Scooby-Doo' live action show.

The streaming giant has commissioned an eight-part reimagining of the classic Warner Bros. cartoon focused on the origins of the mystery-solving gang and their iconic dog.

The show - which is yet to get a name - will be written by Midnight Radio's Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg based on the Hanna-Barbera characters.

At summer camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne join forces with scientific townie Velma and the strange but handsome Freddy to solve the spooky mystery of a lonely and lost Great Dane puppy.

The dog may have witnessed a supernatural murder, and the creepy nightmare surrounding the group threatens to expose their secrets.
