I am currently working on an idea for a Scooby Doo Next Generation series. I have written one story already.
The premise is like this:
Fred and Daphne's 17 year old son Frank solves mysteries with Shaggy and Velma's offspring (16 year old twin daughters Mindy and Nicole and 14 year old son Casey). Accompanying them is Scooby's granddaughter Scoutie who varies from Scrappy level brave to Scooby level craven depending on which is funnier at a given time. Scooby himself would have died of old age at 16 a few years back.
Velma would have been pregnant with the twins during her wedding to Shaggy. Though it would not be a shotgun wedding. They would have already been engaged when she got pregnant and Shaggy and Velma would have already set the date for everything working around the schedules of the judge who performs the ceremony and the Hex Girls who offered to perform as the band.
Now for the character descriptions:
Malinda Marla Frumkin "Mindy" Rogers is Shaggy and Velma's eldest child (10 to 20 minutes older than Nicole). Like her sister her personality is combination of traits from both of her parents. Like Velma she is a genius with an IQ of over 200. She is snarky, sarcastic and hot-tempered. Also like her mother is a computer whiz who is able to pull up any info her friends need on her handheld computer orb. Like Shaggy she is cowardly and uses her snark to cope with her fear. Appearance wise she is 5'4" and weighs 110 lbs with Green eyes and light brown hair. Her usual outfit consists of a green turtleneck with orange sleeves and a green pea coat and brown jeans. She wears glasses and a hairband (like Daphne's). She is Frank's Girlfriend.
Nicole Patricia Rogers takes after Shaggy more so than her sister but still inherited her mother's vast intellect. While Mindy is great with computers, Nicole is skilled with disguises which is not easy since she weighs about 400 lbs (this is mostly so viewers could tell the twins apart and make it clear that they have separate personalities and function as independent characters, her weight would be treated like a nonissue other than her being happy with it). She is the same height as her sister. aside from her glasses she wears a green crop top sweater with no sleeves over a white button down blouse and brown jeans. Nicole is goofier and lazier than her sister. Both twins inherited Shaggy's appetite but only Mindy got his metabolism.
Casey Norville Rogers is basically just Shaggy Jr. except more prone to mischief, schemes and pranks. He is also the bravest of his siblings (though since all three are cowards that doesn't amount to much). Father and son often collaborate on hair-brained schemes. He has dark brown hair and hazel eyes. he wears a green T-shirt under an orange vest and khaki shorts.
Franklin Welker Jones is very keen on inventing and traps. He even used a trap to catch himself his first pet, a rabbit. He is very good with empathy too. He has blue eyes and reddish blond hair. He is basically a palette swap of Fred.
The classic gang:
36 year old Norville Samuel Chastain "Shaggy" Rogers is now a popular cartoonist and owner of a successful restaurant. He considers Casey's psychic medium girlfriend Cadence McNamara a ghost Magnet and avoids her. He gives his kids advice on how to avoid danger. His schemes with his son always backfire. He still looks pretty much the same only older.
34 year old Velma Dace Rogers (nee Dinkley) is now a famous mystery writer retired from Coolsville's crime lab. Occasionally it is mentioned that early in her marriage, Shaggy's appetite rubbed off on her causing her to balloon to just over two tons (to demonstrate her knowledge of chemistry as her notes are used to create the serum that slims her back down and suppresses her appetite). this is never brought up in really great detail but is mentioned on rare occasions. Season one's story arc would involve her being pregnant with triplets. One of the series she writes is co-written with Daphne. Season two would not have an overarching story. Her outfit is the same but she looks older and often wears red slacks rather than a red skirt. Her eye color is green like in mystery inc but the series is set in the main continuity. I'd estimate her height to be about 5'2" and her weight to be about 110 lbs.
35 year old Daphne Blake-Jones is now the wealthiest woman in the world worth many quadrillions of dollars. She owns dozens if not hundreds of businesses around the world. 98% of them are quite profitable. She used to be a reporter but had to quit that job to devote more time to her business empire. Some of the businesses were given to her by her father Nedley Blake as a wedding gift. She has purple eyes and the red in her hair is slowly fading in color. She now wears purple pantsuits or at formal affairs, purple dresses. She helps her 15 year old daughter, Stephanianna Heather Grey Jones (goes by Heather) invest the fortune she made through her artistic talents. Heather would be a palette swap of her mother if not for a different hairstyle and her larger breasts. Heather
36 year old Fredrick Herman Jones is given the least focus of the classic gang. His career is not even mentioned. He looks about the same but he's much older and his hair is receding. His eyes are blue.
other characters:
Madelyn's kids will appear in a few episodes as will:
A reformed Gibby Norton
Mei Ling (now Mei Ling-Norton)
Del and Minga
Crystal (now permanently in her human form) and her two children
The Hex Girls
Thorn's 10 teenage offspring (triplet boys and septuplet girls)
Dusk's daughter Vixen St. James
and Luna's son Pendragon Moss.
Thorn's youngest son is dating Heather.
Maggie and Wilfred will show up on occasion as will the classic gang's parents.
I also plan on doing crossovers with other HB mystery shows. The first will be with Jonny Quest as the kids will seek info from Jessie Bannon-Quest at the Coolsville branch of Quest Labs. That will happen in the second episode/story (which I am in the process of writing). The next crossover will be with the offspring of the teen angels accompanied by Captain Caveman. Should that be an early ep or a later one? and in what order should I do these crossovers:
Funky Phantom (Sons of Skip, April and Augie and a girl they fight over. Mudsy will now be an angel having crossed over into heaven. He serves as the guardian angel of Skip, April and Augie and their family)
Buford Files (son of Woody and Daughter of Cindy Mae with grandpup of Buford and Duchess)
Chan Clan (Suzie Chan and her 10 daughters)
Speed Buggy (Daughter of Tinker and Debbie and son of Mark and Debbie with revamped Speed Buggy)
Goober and the Ghost Chasers (Ted and Tina's sons and Gilly's daughter)
New Shmoo (son and daughter of Mickey and Nita and son of Billy Joe)
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids
Inch High Private Eye
Clue Club (quadruplets of Pepper and D.D.)
?
Also what monsters should I use? The first three are the Ghost of Elias Meurtrier, other-earth doppelgangers of Shaggy and Velma and a Genie.
