FAQs

Can a 13 year old watch Velma? ›

Parents need to know that Velma is an animated update/spin-off of the beloved 1970s cartoon Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? But this one is intended for adults: There's much more mature material here than in the original. Violence is often played for laughs but may be more intense than parents…

Aside from being smart, witty, independent, self-assured, and, well, frankly gorgeous (who isn't into indie girls?) throughout her whole canonical existence, the seemingly sudden influx of Velma appreciation seemingly dates back several decades to the early 2000's and beyond.

"There was an actual kiss between Daphne and Velma that got cut," Gellar told Andy Cohen on Thursday's episode of Watch What Happens Live. "I feel like the world wants to see it. I don't know where it is."

Watch Velma — Season 2 with a subscription on Max.

Outside of two (offscreen) murders and a smug meta-opening scene filled with cartoon nudity, Velma doesn't utilize its R rating and the creative freedom that the adult-only certification affords the series.

Velma is an American adult animated comedy mystery television series based on the character Velma Dinkley from the Scooby-Doo franchise.

"We were really inspired by [the animated film Spider-Man:] Into the Spider-Verse — it's animation, we can do anything. The essence of Velma is not necessarily tied to her whiteness. And I identify so much as her character, and I think so many people do, so it's like, yeah, let's make her Indian in this series."

The subject of Velma's affections is an original character named Coco Diablo, who is also bespectacled with a turtleneck like Velma's, and is also apparently the leader of a crime syndicate the Mystery Gang is pitted against.

She has freckles, and initially was depicted as more heavyset compared to the thinner frame on Daphne Blake. While somewhat obscured by her fashion choices, Velma can be seen to have a slightly wider waist and her facial shape is more circular/square compared to the ovular shape Daphne has as an adult.

Why did Shaggy kiss Daphne? ›

As a result of thr Terror Wood, Daphne thought Shaggy was Fred, and kissed and slept with him. They both were confused when realising Fred was Shaggy. Twice after, Shaggy stated he liked it.

Scrappy-Doo was a genetically/mechanically modified dog, created by Project S.C.O.O.B.I. to appeal to meddling kids, as per request of Uncle SCOOBI, herself, as she believed that a cute, charismatic, catchphrase-spewing canine would be the perfect way to infiltrate and monitor crowds of young animal rights activists ...

HBO Max's Velma Isn't Suitable For Kids

Between the bare buttocks, gruesome corpse and frank talk about sex, Velma lives up to its R-rating and is clearly not intended for the same audience as Scooby Doo.

Velma has a 0.4/10 in user reviews on Metacritic (a 59/100 from critics). Velma has a 1.4/5 in audience scores on Google. With nearly 9,000 votes in, Velma has a 1.7/10 on IMDB.

Blood is frequent and dead bodies are shown. Not too gory, but graphic. Velma antagonizes a cop who runs her over, and her tooth falls out. Violence is often played for laughs, but it may be more intense than viewers might expect given the comic tone.
