The first three things you notice about the image from Velma, Mindy Kaling’s upcoming take on Scooby Doo’s smartest detective: someone got a DIY lobotomy, someone is naked wearing only strategically positioned bubbles, oh, and Velma is South Asian.

But one of those things shouldn’t be a big deal, according to Kaling, speaking at the Warner Bros Discovery Upfront presentation.

“Hopefully you noticed my Velma is South Asian,” Kaling said to the gathered advertising execs. “If people freak out about that, I don’t care.”

HBO Max announced a year ago they were developing the series, calling it “an original and humorous spin that unmasks the complex and colorful past of one of America’s most beloved mystery solvers.” The series will follow the character’s origin story before she ever encountered Scooby-Doo or the Mystery Machine

Kaling is billed as both executive producer and the voice of the character.

The character of Velma Dinkley is one of the five mystery-solving members from the Scooby-Doo franchise, which began with the 1969 Hanna-Barbera cartoon series Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, developed by Joe Ruby and Ken Spears. She is typically depicted as the smartest of the bunch, and wears an orange turtleneck sweater over a pleated red skirt, and sports trademark (and easily lost) eyeglasses.
