Mindy Kaling’s animated Velma series on Max received a surprising Season 2 update.
Velma is developed by Charles Grandy alongside star and executive producer Mindy Kaling. The series explores the titular character’s adventures during high school and is set before the official formation of Mystery Inc.
Despite a strong performance in terms of viewership, Velma received backlash from fans and critics. In the latest issue of Emmys magazine, Grandy opened up about the harsh reviews, assuring everyone that they are “not erasing the originals.”
