Since Velma 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.
Where is Velma Season 3 coming out?
Velma Season 3 could come out on HBO Max.
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.”
