is one of the most popular and profitable franchises in the world. It includes, among others: , television and film animations for children and their live-action counterparts. In 2023, a series was also added to the list, but this time aimed at an adult audience and entirely dedicated to Velma Dinkley.
It was supposed to be a hit, but it turned out to be a failure. The Velma series is the worst in the history of HBO Max?
Velma probably needs no introduction. The heroine, considered the brain of every operation, is distinguished not only by her above-average intelligence and brilliance, but also by her original appearance in contrast to Daphne, who is considered a classic beauty. In numerous animations she was dubbed by stars such as Mindy Cohn, Kate Micucci and Mindy Kaling, while in Polish productions she is mainly associated with the voice of Agata Gawrońska Bauman.
It would seem that dedicated to a heroine beloved by many, it would turn out to be a real hit. Nothing could be further from the truth. “Velma” debuted in January 2023 and was quickly crushed not only by viewers, but also by critics. On the website alone, reviewers rated it 39% and the audience rated it at just 7%. However, its biggest failure was on , where, due to a poor rating of only 1.6 stars out of 10, it was hailed as the worst-rated animated series in history.
Season 2 of “Velma” is coming. There is already a release date
However, the terrible reviews did not stop the creators from making another series. As it turns out, despite the dismal failure, HBO decided to release the 2nd season of “Velma”, consisting of 10 episodes. This time, the heroine’s main task will be to combine detective work with unflagging and constantly growing popularity. There will also be another mysterious puzzle that she will have to face while restoring peace to the inhabitants of the town of Crystal Cove.
The voice cast will again include stars such as: Constance Wu, Sam Richardson, Glenn Howerton, Russell Peters, Melissa Fumero and Mindy Kaling, who is also responsible for the production, joining forces with the screenwriter of “The Office” Charlie Grandy. According to the findings, “Velma” will premiere on the HBO Max platform in the United States on April 25, 2024. For now, however, it is not known when or if it will be available to Polish viewers at all.
