Velma’s makeover gets a fresh spotlight in Disney+ UK’s Scooby-Doo 2 video
Disney+ UK revisits Linda Cardellini’s Velma with a makeover clip centred on the familiar business of trying to impress someone.
The short answer: Disney+ UK revisits Linda Cardellini’s Velma with a makeover clip centred on the familiar business of trying to impress someone.
A makeover is one thing. Making an impression is quite another. Velma’s attempt to impress someone is the hook for Disney+ UK’s Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed video, published on 22 October 2026, bringing Linda Cardellini’s detective back into the spotlight.
Titled Velma Gets A Makeover!, the clip comes with a description that invites viewers to recognise themselves in her efforts. The makeover supplies the headline; the wish to make a good impression gives the revisit its gently teasing appeal.
Cardellini played Velma in both live-action Scooby-Doo films. Viewers coming to the films through her television work may recognise her as Lindsay Weir in Freaks and Geeks or Nurse Samantha Taggart in ER.
From Velma to a different kind of fright
Away from Velma, Cardellini has been discussing a very different role. In an NME interview published on 20 October 2026, she talked about playing Pamela Voorhees, Jason’s mother, in Crystal Lake, the Friday the 13th prequel series. It is a sharp contrast with Scooby-Doo’s crime-solving detective. That variety is something Cardellini welcomed in a separate interview with The Guardian:
I like to change it up Linda Cardellini, speaking to The Guardian, 19 October 2026
For a return to Velma instead, Disney+ UK’s video directs viewers to watch Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed on Disney+, with a link to the service’s British film page.
