The story
The gang decide to go traveling in the Mystery Machine, seeking fun and adventure during what could possibly be their last summer break together. However, havoc-wreaking monsters seem to be drawn to them, appearing almost every stop of the way.
Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! recap
The gang is out of high school and taking the Mystery Machine on what may be their last summer road trip together, and monsters keep turning up wherever they go. The tone is pure comedy. Fred is earnest and obsessed with traps and the van, Daphne is cheerful and odd, Velma is a cynical know-it-all who would rather do almost anything else, and Shaggy and Scooby want food and a quiet life. Scooby speaks less than usual. The episodes still follow the monster, chase, trap and unmasking pattern, but most of the show is the characters' strange conversations and running jokes, and there are recurring villains, including a mad scientist called Professor Huh?. The characters were redesigned in a simpler style, and Kate Micucci took over as Velma. The show premiered on Cartoon Network in 2015 and finished on Boomerang and its streaming service, for 52 episodes over two seasons.
Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! ending explained
Be Cool, Scooby-Doo! has no single finale. The two-part "Professor Huh?" story, in which the gang finally confronts the mad scientist who has been behind several of their cases, is treated as the chronological end, though it was not the last to air. The final episodes were broadcast on Boomerang in March 2018. The franchise moved on to Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? the following year.
