SinceVelma Season 2 just premiered on HBO Max, viewers are naturally wondering if a Velma Season 3 has been announced and has a release date. Velma is an adult animated series that is based on Velma Dinkley from the Scooby-Doo franchise. The series tells the origins of the Mystery Inc. gang’s formation and how Velma met and became friends with Norville Rogers, Daphne Blake, and Fred Jones.
Here’s all the Velma Season 3 release date information we know so far, and all the details on when it is coming out.
Is there a Velma Season 3 release date?
Velma Season 3 does not have an official release date, but it could likely be announced in the future.
On the one hand, HBO Max is likely waiting to see how Velma Season 2 performs in the coming weeks in terms of viewership and ratings before they decide to renew the show for a third season. This is likely, given how the streamer released the second season in bulk, instead of following the first season’s weekly release format, so that they can analyze the response earlier and determine not only Velma Season 3’s development but also the series’ future.
On the other hand, it is important to note that despite the immense negative critical reception and audience backlash towards Velma’s first season, the series got renewed for a second season. HBO Max likely believed the criticism generated enough attention for the show to warrant another season. Thus, if a similar situation befalls the second season, wherein more negative reception and controversy generate enough attention and interest, then a Velma Season 3 is likely to happen.
Velma’s cast includes the voices of Mindy Kaling as Velma Dinkley, Constance Wu as Daphne Blake, Sam Richardson as Norville Rogers, Glenn Howerton as Fred Jones, Sarayu Blue as Diya, Fortune Feimster as Olive/Pim, Frank Welker as William, Gary Cole as Lamont, and Cherry Jones as Victoria. Charlie Grandy is the series creator.
This is because Velma Season 1 and Velma Season 2 premiered on HBO Max since Velma is part of the Scooby-Doo franchise owned by Warner Bros., who also owns HBO Max. Thus, Velma Season 3 will also premiere on HBO Max.
The official synopsis for Velma reads:
“Jinkies! This raucous reimagining of the Scooby-Doo franchise unravels the mysterious origins of Mystery, Inc. – as seen through the eyes of the gang’s beloved bespectacled detective Velma.”

Parents need to know that Velma is an animated update/spin-off of the beloved 1970s cartoon Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? But this one is intended for adults: There's much more mature material here than in the original. Violence is often played for laughs but may be more intense than parents…
After seeing what Velma decided to do with one season 2 character, it's quite a relief that Scooby-Doo isn't present in the spinoff show. Velma is a Max original animated series that was written by and stars The Office alum, Mindy Kaling.
In Ruby and Spears' original series bible, Fred and Shaggy are each 17 years old, Daphne is 16, and Velma is 15. For the purposes of this series, the kids were made roughly the same age: 16-17 in season 1, and 17-18 in season 2.
How Old Scooby-Doo's Main Characters Are In The Original Cartoon. According to notes written by original creators Joe Ruby and Ken Spears, which is the most directly reliable source, Fred and Shaggy are both 17, Daphne is 16, and Velma is 15 years old.
Kaling's Velma is now Indian, while Wu's Daphne is portrayed as Asian, and Richardson's Norville is African American rather than being white. Fred is the only Scooby-Doo character to remain the same.
Between the bare buttocks, gruesome corpse and frank talk about sex, Velma lives up to its R-rating and is clearly not intended for the same audience as Scooby Doo.
During the first season of the 2010–2013 series Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, Velma is in a romantic relationship with Shaggy, much to the distaste of Scooby-Doo.
Previous “Scooby-Doo” writers and producers have said that Velma was a lesbian, but said pushback by studios would not allow them to depict her as one on screen. The new movie, which was directed by Audie Harrison, leaves no doubt as to her sexuality.
Season 2 is somehow worse. All the characters have no character arch, except Fred. The writing is so bad, because they make out that we should hate rich people in the first season and now Fred is more likable than all the characters we are supposed to like.
Velma is Indian American, Norville is Black, and Daphne appears to be of Asian descent, though she's the adopted daughter of married lesbian detectives Donna and Linda (Jane Lynch and Wanda Sykes).
On the streamer's official X/Twitter feed April 1, Warner Bros.Discovery's Max subtly announced the second season of its mixed-reaction Scooby-Doo spin-off Velma, executive produced by and starring Mindy Kaling. The new episodes will drop April 25.
At the end of episode 2, Velma and Daphne kiss. In the following episodes, they admit to being attracted to each other but decide that they should resist their feelings and become friends again instead. On top of this, Daphne has been dating Fred, Velma has a crush on Fred, and Shaggy has a crush on Velma.
