Mystery, Inc. is a TV show that airs on the CW and is a darker and horror-inspired take on the Scooby Doo franchise. The series follows the gang who, in this take, are freelance mystery solvers that specialize in the supernatural, though they do take regular mystery cases as well. Their members include Fred Jones, who is known for being very strange, Shaggy Rogers, who is a very big coward, Daphne Blake, who is quite fond of the excitement she feels while on the team, and Velma Dinkley, who is far more sceptical than the rest of the members.
