Daphne and Velma Get the Origin Story They Deserve in a Live-Action Scooby-Doo Spin-Off

Scooby-Doo's leading ladies, Velma and Daphne, have finally gotten the origin story they deserve in a new live-action adaptation of the beloved cartoon classic. The Ashley Tisdale-produced film, which was announced back in November, follows the pair long before they team up with the rest of the Mystery Inc. gang.

Daphne and Velma — played by Shades of Blue's Sarah Jeffery and Last Man Standing's Sara Gilman, respectively — are solely online BFFs until they team-up IRL when Daphne transfers to Velma's school, Ridge Valley High. After the school's top students start disappearing (only to pop up later in a zombie-like state), the mystery-solving teens start an investigation into Ridge Valley's wealthy benefactor, tech genius and billionaire Tobias Bloom. Is his company's mysterious and coveted internship program to blame? If anyone can crack the case, it's Velma and Daphne.

Sound like a mystery you'd like to help solve? Luckily you won't have to wait too long to watch it. Entertainment Weekly shared the news that Daphne & Velma will be released on digital, Blu-ray, and DVD on May 22, 2018. You can even see the future detectives in action in the new trailer!

Since there's still a few months until it comes out, that means you have plenty of time to brush up on old re-runs of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! or the 2002 live-action movie (C'mon, it doesn't take a pair of teenage detectives to know it's your guilty pleasure).
