Rap icon André 3000, also known as André Benjamin, has joined the cast of Netflix's upcoming series "Scooby-Doo: Origins." The live-action show, set to premiere globally in 2027, is a reimagining of the 2002 movie of the same name and its 2004 sequel. André 3000 is among a star-studded ensemble that includes Cathy Moriarty, Mckenna Grace, Tanner Hagen, Abby Ryder Fortson, and Maxwell Jenkins, who will play Daphne, Shaggy, Velma, and Fred, respectively.

The series, executive produced and directed by Toby Haynes, will start filming in Atlanta, drawing inspiration from the 2002 Scooby-Doo soundtrack that featured André 3000 and Big Boi, along with Sleepy Brown and Killer Mike, on the track "Land of a Million Drums."
