HBO Max has placed a 10-episode series order for Velma, a comedic animated origin story centered on the “unsung and underappreciated brains” of the Scooby-Doo gang, with Mindy Kaling giving voice to the iconic character.

Kaling will also serve as an EP on the project alongside Charlie Grandy, Howard Klein and Sam Register.
