In a since-deleted Instagram post, background artist Davey Cummings announced that Mindy Kaling's Velma has been canceled (via Comicbook.com). The Kaling-led animated series will not continue after the Halloween special is released.
Cummings confirmed that there will be no Velma season 3, which premiered on MAX in 2023 and ran for two seasons, ending with a Halloween special titled "This Halloween Needs To Be More Special." So far, Warner Bros. and MAX have not released an official statement regarding the cancellation.
The Velma series, a reimagining of the classic Scooby-Doo characters, garnered controversy for its drastic changes to the iconic characters. Notably, Scooby-Doo did not appear, and new storylines and character dynamics were introduced. The series received mixed reviews, with criticism directed at its humor and stereotyping. Despite the negative reactions, Velma managed to produce two seasons and a final special before reportedly ending.
