Towns will be voicing the character named Jacques Beau. It's unclear how big of a role his character has in the show.

The show is described as "the origin story of Velma Dinkley, the unsung and underappreciated brains of the Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. gang. This original and humorous spin unmasks the complex and colorful past of one of America’s most beloved mystery solvers."

The first season of the show is expected to debut in 2023 with 10 episodes.
