Here's the cast of Mindy Kaling's animated 'Velma' series and who they're playing

Velma will be South Asian and the show will tell the origin story of the brains behind the Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc.

"Growing up, I've always identified with Velma," Kaling, who serves as an executive producer, said at a "Velma" panel at New York Comic Con in October 2022.

"She was so cute, but not like traditionally hot — super smart, super thick glasses, questionable haircut," the actress said. "I just love the series and I feel so honored to do the voice."

According to the official "Velma" social media accounts, this show's version of Daphne will be "known for much more than being hot. Though, fear not, that's still a large part of it."

"She's not demure, she has mysteries that she has to figure out about her own life that we find out about," Kaling said of Daphne at NYCC. "And I think there's a quality that Constance brings to the character too, Constance projects strength and her vocal acting also projects strength."

"All of the characters really delve into their family life and things that we didn't really get to see in the original series," she added.

At NYCC, Kaling said that none of the characters of the original "Scooby Doo" were defined by their whiteness, except for Fred.

"We knew we wanted an incredible comedy actor, who also had this humanity," Kaling added of Howerton, who previously worked with her on the series '"The Mindy Project."

"Minus the whiteness, I was very much a Fred," Richardson said at NYCC of the character he most associated with.
