Last month, we had a cryptic announcement that a "special episode" of Velma is coming from the LinkedIn page of a storyboard artist. Not many details were provided at the time, but now, a listing revealing more information about the special has popped up on the Entertainment Identifier Registry. According to EIDR, we will be getting a Velma Halloween special. The listing was entered into the database on October 25, 2023. The special will air sometime in 2024, presumably around October for Halloween.
It is unclear if the Halloween special is a part of season 2, or if it's a separate episode that isn't a part of any season. According to character designer Dinah Kalaha's resumé, character designing for season 2 began in November 2022 and just wrapped up in October 2023. This confirms that a season 2 was planned before the show had aired.

The adult animated show American Dad will be airing a special Scooby-Doo themed episode this year for Halloween. A recent AWN interview with American Dad creator and showrunner Matt Weitzman revealed that the episode will feature the family dressing up as Scooby-Doo characters whilst trying to find Stan, who has gone missing. Here's the full quote from the interview:
"We have a fantastic Halloween episode, where the family dresses up in Scooby-Doo outfits and ends up discovering that Stan is missing. And so, as the Scooby-Doo gang, they try to find him. Klaus is Scooby and Jeff is Shaggy and Steve is Velma. They look so good and we did wonderful music that sounds so much like the Scooby-Doo score. We recorded it in mono. It's really going to be fun for the audience." The episode will be titled "Z.O.I.N.C.S." and will air Monday, October 30 at 9:00pm CST on TBS, according to The Futon Critic. Some sad news today from The Guardian that the writer of Scooby Apocalypse, Keith Giffen, has passed away as of Monday, October 9. Keith was 70 years old, and had a fatal stroke at his home in Virginia. Keith had started writing for Marvel Comics in the 1970s, but later got a job at DC Comics in the 1980s and 1990s. Beginning in 2016, Keith wrote the Scooby Apocalypse comic series. RIP to Keith!
To celebrate Halloween, Krispy Kreme has added Scooby-Doo themed donuts to their menu! A "Scooby-Doo Halloween Dozen" box of donuts has been added to Krispy Kreme's menu as of today, featuring four different kinds of Scooby-themed donuts:
Scooby-Doo donuts will be available for a limited time only through Halloween. A Scooby-Doo Shake will also be available at select locations. The shake is decorated with Scooby Doo™ purple and orange icings, blended with extra pumps of chocolate syrup and chocolate cookie pieces topped with whipped cream and Halloween sprinkles. More info can be found about the donuts and shake on Krispy Kreme's website. After almost eight months of no news following the season 1 finale of Velma, we have a small tidbit of what's to come for the series. Storyboard artist Kelsey Norden listed on her LinkedIn page that she recently returned to the crew to help storyboard a "special episode" of Velma. It is unclear whether this is an episode that is a part of season 2, or if there will be a stand-alone special episode that isn't a part of the next season. She also listed that production for this episode began in August 2023 and is ongoing. There is not a way to directly link to the section on LinkedIn, but this information can be found by scrolling down to the "Experience" section of Kelsey's LinkedIn page.
Every year for Halloween, WB puts on a month-long Scoobtober event celebrating the Scooby-Doo franchise. There hasn't ever really been a clear format for the month, as WB seems to switch up what they do each year. The festivities for Scoobtober 2023 have just been announced by Romper.
On Sunday, October 1, Cartoon Network will air a marathon of Scooby-Doo films from 8:00am-2:00pm CST. The marathon will feature Loch Ness Monster at 8:00am, Monster of Mexico at 9:30am, Where's My Mummy at 11:00am and Goblin King at 12:30pm. Cartoon Network will also be airing Scooby-Doo content every day beginning October 1. What's New Scooby-Doo? will be re-added to Cartoon Network's lineup, with one episode airing every weekday at 3:30pm CST. On the weekends, a different Scooby-Doo film will be aired every Saturday at 2:30pm CST and every Sunday morning at 8:00am CST. Similarly to the old Scooby marathons Cartoon Network used to do around Halloween back in the 90s, WB Kids YouTube channel will be streaming a marathon of Scooby, which they are calling the "Scoobtober Watch Party." For 48 hours straight, WB Kids YouTube will only be broadcasting Scooby-Doo content from Friday, October 27 at 3:00pm CST to Sunday, October 29 at 3:00pm CST. No schedule for the marathon has been announced yet. Teen Titans Go WB 100th Anniversary Special Suddenly Pulled from Schedule & Moved to September 309/23/2023 Fans of Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated will remember how the show was plagued with schedule changes, many of which were often so last-second that iTunes and Amazon would still post the episode because even they weren't aware of the sudden change. It seems this has happened again with the Teen Titans Go! WB 100th Anniversary special. The special was set to air at 8:30am this morning. However, at the last moment, the episode was pulled from the schedule, and all official promos for the special were deleted from Cartoon Network's social media last night. No announcement or reason was given for the sudden cancellation. The special will now air next Saturday, September 30 at 9:00am CST instead according to TV Passport.
