I see no reason to suspect there won't be. The Scooby season sets were believed to be only backburnered due to Warner Archive being unable to toucb them. This was partially confirmed with Spooky Games, and outright confirmed with Scooby and Scrappy's release. All the patterns have not be debunked, so i don't see why this show would be any different then the other Scooby shows and other Hanna Barbera shows.
However the time table is something I can't see fit predicting. Before it was one per year. I still have no answer if the Tom and Jerry: Gene Deitch collection is intended to count as a set or not. if so that either bumps us up to two a year, or means it's a matter of whenever and there's no "x this year" number to be worrying about.
Now if we assume they go in order and that no Scooby goes to the archive but others aren't yet decided, then there are 10 running candidates for the next set. Whether that's going to be one next year, or just whenever now. So at least right now a 1 in 10 chance the next set is The New Scooby Mysteries. That number could be inflated if other shows get added to mix (there are 5 shows on that bubble) or other shows that might count (2 now, that the above mentioned release used to be in this category). At this point though it's mostly a waiting and hoping some leaks come out to try and guess which comes out when. There's always a chance a real life event helps one along, but besides that, the next one could be any of those possibilities.

The New Scooby Doo Mysteries still isn't on iTunes either along with The New Scooby Doo Movies and Seasons 3 and 4 of A Pup Named Scooby Doo.

Yeah... that's what I'm worried about. It would appear that the original master copies haven't even been dusted off yet...

They should also put TNSDMysteries in high quality.

Patience is still the order of the day here. We've yet to hear what WHV will be releasing this year. TNSDM could very well be one of the options, but of course there are a handful of others that we are aware of. WA's posts on a few things have possibly made the pool for what ones will come to stores might have gotten some recent shakeups, that make picking out numbers harder now.
Plus the whole issue of is it still 1 a year for stores for do we get 2 now. The lack of a second 13 Spooky Tales set in 2015, also suggests a little bit of a shakeup. I still feel safe in assuming this year will give us some confirmation on some of these theories. But I also still think if WHV is only releasing one set this year for the HB market, the favorite still has to be Laff-a-lympics. So with that in mind I not putting any major bets down TNSDM is coming this year. Unless they want to prove me wrong and beef up the schedule, which I would love (my wallet might not).
Waiting for one specific. show right now may seem hard and annoying, but the long term that it'll come is looking pretty solid. Which I will again remind other parts of the libraries can't really say the same.
However one solution I will add, maybe try tweeting the Warner Brothers Home Entertainment twitter account about it, and mention both dvd and digital. As It might help spur them to think there's more interest and could see a digital release while we await how ever long it's path to dvd currently looks.

They've only just put out the first season of Scrappy so we're going to have to give it some time. And more seasons depends on the sales of the first one.
Also, I don't know what "high quality" means in terms of an old show. Sure it will be better than on TV, but ultra fantastic quality I think not. Get a Clue! is in good quality even in SD because it's relatively new, but Pup even in good quality only just about looks good. And I only think this is because it's the Turner version and not the original masters.

I think the thing you are getting into there is the difference between where they draw the lines on "shows" within a franchise. It has become relatively obvious they don't care that a franchise comes out in order, but try to keep the individual shows in chronological order. Hence why The Scooby Doo Show is a mess.
While them calling the release from last year "The Complete Series 1" seems like it would imply they would frame the others similarly, that is far from a guarantee. Need we forget how 60s Jonny Quest came out as "The Complete First Season", only to see the 80s incarnation get released but as "The Complete Eighties Adventures".
The big question around that though is the plan for Richie Rich and Petey the Puppy. Who in the past Warner Archive told us had parts of their releases off limits because they were on the eventual release plan along with the Scooby combination. Of course both had different segments made not with Scooby, but this is also where the "show" vs "franchise" part of the discussion gets confusing. In which case whether Warner Archive would be able to release those later seasons for both until WHV has done their releases. Or if they consider them separate shows just within a franchise. Which should mean they're as eligible as everyone else in the HB/RS/MGM side of the library.
Unless of course they are planning to screw around that idea and just release "Complete Season 2" of Scrappy and let Warner Archive handle Richie Rich and Petey the Puppy on their own. But so far I've seen nothing to suggest that's ever been on the drawing board.
And while kind of skipped over in this post, Dynomutt deserves the mention as if WB would make that decision on Richie and Petey, his season 2 should go with them. Which at this point we are still under the belief his 4 and the missing 8 Scooby Doo Show episodes make a set. But at this point who knows what title that set would possibly get under either choice.
But at this point we are mostly just waiting for shows to get put into slots for releases. The brand they are apart of as a whole has all signs pointing in it's favor. Given some of the things we've seen get released and didn't damage the line, I think Scooby's whole filmography will sell fine, if not great. But realistically they are only going to do so many a year. WHV's selection alone still has quite a number of things to take hits off of. Unless the supercharge the line up (or you know drop more down to the Archive) we could be looking at some being years away.

I asked Warner Archive if they would finish incomplete Scooby series, but they said it was in perfect hands with WHV (maybe not word for word, but that's what they said), and that's probably because, as you said mattpricetime, the filmography will sell fine, if not great. And it has been, as it's the only HB show that gets away with wide releases, instead of being dropped into Warner Archive's hands, like was the case with the other seven HB films of the late 80s couldn't get full-fledged releases.

That's not entirely true. I understand if you don't count the Tom and Jerry ones, even though I'm sure they are in terms of market. But The Smurfs and Flintstone Kids are both still at WHV. And possibly other Flintstone spinoffs.

Well, whatever wide is. Some don't get to the UK. But within the US, it's always there being done by WHV. There's always new DVDs as well, which you can't say the same for a lot of them. Of course, they do for Tom and Jerry, but I think that's about it (if you don't count Looney Tunes).

Oooh okay now I'm following that then. I was just counting the Region 1 releases. If we are counting other regions then oh yes it get's more complicated. Some don't seem to get equal treatment across regions.
The Big leaguers typically get the smaller releases in stores, probably to farm money for the rest of the library. Scooby and Tom and Jerry get plenty each year in addition to if they get a more "collection" release. LT's are struggling by the looks to even keep the smaller releases these days, but I have my own new theory on that.
But this is the reality we have to deal with. The old model just isn't feasible for a lot of things anymore. But on the kickside we also now get a bit more realistic view on popularity. When there's no store overhead, it comes down to response and sales, which more than likely justify why some sections of the WB library earn multiple releases from this section per year, and others may get one or two a year if lucky.
Scooby himself is probably never going to sell that low to make them question not releasing him in stores. But WHV for the last several years has only contributed one/two collections to the yearly HB+ releases. So even though he is like the shining star of that side of the library there's still quite a bit of him to release. Recent talks seems to suggest they may be making a split at least on what's left of the Flintstones. But I don't think they'll split the likes of Scooby Doo or Tom and Jerry. Like I said, them at their least popular days will still probably sell fine, if not great.
