Max today debuted the trailer for Season 2 of its original adult-animated comedy Velma, which takes a divergent fork into the origin story of the Mystery Inc. gang. The new batch of 10 episodes produced by Warner Bros. Animation premieres Thursday, April 25. The rapidfire preview promises “More mystery” (a new serial killer is on the loose — this time targeting men!), “More romance” (can Velma, Daphne and Norville navigate a teen love triangle?!) and “More meddling” (we thought the police station computers were for everyone…)
S2 logline: When an even spookier mystery grips Crystal Cove, Velma (Mindy Kaling) must find a way to balance her detective work with the demands of her newfound popularity before it’s too late. Meanwhile, her faithful friends Daphne (Constance Wu), Norville (Sam Richardson) and Fred (Glenn Howerton) are powerless to help thanks to their own personal battles and worse … Detention.
Additional cast for the second season includes Russell Peters, Melissa Fumero, Sarayu Blue, Jane Lynch, Wanda Sykes, Cherry Jones, Frank Welker, Nicole Byer, Gary Cole, Andia Winslow and Sara Ramirez.
Inspired by the characters of classic toon Scooby-Doo, Velma is developed by Charlie Grandy; executive produced by Grandy, Kaling, Howard Klein and Elijah Aron; and co-executive produced by Jessica Kumai Scott. Supervising producer is Amy Winfrey; producers are Kandace Reuter and Rick Williams; co-producers are Moss Perricone and Greg Gallant.
