Production
In June 2021, Cervone said that a follow-up to the movie was in development. On December 22, 2021, HBO Max released a sizzle reel featuring a first look at a Christmas sequel movie, titled Scoob! Holiday Haunt, which was set to be released on the service in December 2022. The movie takes place after the events of the first movie, with Welker and the adult actors from the previous movie reprising their roles while Cervone returned to write the movie with Paul Dini as well to produce the project. The movie was co-directed by Bill Haller and Michael Kurinsky and had a production budget of $40 million. On August 2, 2022, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) canceled its release, citing cost-cutting measures and a refocus on theatrical movies rather than creating projects for streaming. Tony Cervone would go on to say on the same day that the project was "practically finished". Later that month, it was reported that the movie would still be finished, even though Warner Bros. Discovery had no plans to release it. The movie was finally finished on November 4, 2022.
