The Halloween special concluded with unresolved plotlines, indicating that the creators had hoped for a third season.

Since its debut in January 2023, 'Velma' struggled to maintain a dedicated viewership, despite efforts to attract a broader audience.

The animated series 'Velma,' which reimagined characters from the Scooby-Doo franchise, has been officially canceled after two seasons.

Despite the cancellation, the Halloween special titled 'Velma: This Halloween Needs to Be More Special!' was released on October 3, 2024, and is currently available for streaming on Max.

The series received mixed reviews, holding a 38% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics noting its disconnect from the traditional character of Velma.

Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, 'Velma' featured Mindy Kaling voicing the titular character, alongside a notable cast including Glenn Howerton and Constance Wu.

The storyline followed Velma as a high school student navigating her mother's disappearance while solving mysteries with her friends.

The show included a Halloween special that featured a storyline about the characters searching for a dark spell book, showcasing its unique take on the franchise.

Although there has been no official announcement regarding the cancellation, it reflects a broader trend of recent show cancellations in the streaming industry.

TVLine was the first outlet to report the cancellation news, which followed the show's debut on January 12, 2023.

The Halloween special was developed and written by Charlie Grandy, who also served as the creator and executive producer of the series.

Critics pointed out that the series failed to create endearing characters, contrasting it with successful shows that present flawed characters in a charismatic light.
