Netflix’s upcoming live-action mystery series Scooby-Doo: Origins just added two attention-grabbing names to its cast: André “3000” Benjamin and Cathy Moriarty.
Benjamin, known to many as one-half of Outkast and to film fans for roles in High Life and Jimi: All Is By My Side, is set for a recurring role in the series. The casting also marks his return to the wider Scooby-Doo franchise, adding another layer of curiosity around a project that already has fans watching closely.
Moriarty, whose credits include Raging Bull and the family favorite Casper, will also recur in the Netflix series. Character details for both actors have not yet been revealed.
Scooby-Doo: Origins Netflix Series Is Filming in Atlanta
Scooby-Doo: Origins is currently filming in Atlanta, where production is underway on the live-action take on the beloved mystery-solving franchise. While Netflix has not announced a premiere date yet, the series has reportedly been generating strong internal buzz ahead of its debut.
That early excitement makes sense. Scooby-Doo has stayed popular for decades by mixing spooky cases, comedy, friendship, and just enough weirdness to keep each new version feeling fresh. A live-action origin story gives Netflix room to reintroduce Mystery Inc. to longtime fans while also aiming at a new streaming audience.
André 3000 and Cathy Moriarty Add Star Power to Scooby-Doo: Origins Cast
Benjamin’s casting is especially intriguing because he has built one of the more unpredictable screen careers in entertainment. He does not appear in just anything, so a recurring role in Scooby-Doo: Origins suggests the part could be more than a quick cameo.
Moriarty brings a very different kind of screen presence: sharp, memorable, and instantly recognizable. Whether the show leans into comedy, mystery, or a slightly darker live-action tone, both additions give the Netflix series more personality before a trailer has even arrived.
