Popular culture reunions seem to be all the rage these days, which is no surprise that the Mystery Gang are having a reunion of their own. The special, fittingly titled The Scooby-Doo Reunion Special has been announced and will premiere on The CW Network later this year. It is just one of the three specials announced by the network today, which include a Legends of Tomorrow Christmas special and a film centered around The Waltons.

The special centers around the Mystery Gang — Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and the trusty Scooby-Doo — reuniting at the Warner Bros. Studio Lot to talk about the franchise’s longevity. However, they soon find themselves in the middle of a strange haunting that will test their detective skills once and for all. With a description like that, longtime fans and casual viewers alike can expect a new mystery that celebrates the franchise’s long-running history.

It'll take some doing to top the 'reunion' stories from the New Scooby-Doo Mysteries and Zombie Island, the franchise is so overproduced now, that it doesn't feel like it'll be all that special because the gang are on TV with new adventures every year. At least you can say they're 'on the pulse' with current TV trends (the reunion special craze)

Ya the word Reunion doesn’t really fit but should be fun.

Wonder if other characters will appear since it’s being portrayed as the real world for them, visiting WB studios. Who could be doing the hauntings...the Animaniacs?

How is the franchise overproduced now? We've gotten minimum one new Scooby-Doo movie (sometimes two) every year since 1998, that's not counting all the tv shows we've had since then, even Batman has taken bigger breaks between tv shows than Scooby-Doo.

But they always try to make scooby doo movies "important" even the DTV ones through gimmicks "a sequel to zombie island", "crossover with the WWE", "13 ghosts of scooby doo sequel", "crossover with supernatural tv show" etc.

So, yeah it's ridiculous they're selling this as a "reunion" when they've never left but it's just their way to sell it and their logic is this is a tv special which they haven't done in many years so 'it counts'. Now this will be non-canon since they are actors, but this isn't the first time the scooby gang portray their characters as actors, it was done in Scooby Goes Hollywood, so it's a sequel to that.

They are also actors in that special. I take my scooby lore very seriously.

August and September will be a tribute to 80s Scooby at DC in the pages of Batman/Scooby Doo Mysteries

Augusr: A story where it's just Scooby, Daphne and Shaggy with Batman

And now September sees "A Pup Named Scooby Doo" being paid homage to...and established as the official backstory on how Bruce met Scooby and the gang in the first place as a young boy himself!

Surely this mean the spookiest time of the year, October, will complete the trilogy and put Bruce right in the midst of "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo?"
