Velma Season 3: Story Details

There was a lot of suspenseful drama for those that were caught up in the world of Velma and even though nothing is completely clear, there is hope!

If it comes back, Season 3 might build upon how Velma almost lost her life as her "soul" escaped from her body! It ends with a dark tone where we don't quite see Velma completely.

That wasn't the end though.

For "Velma,"'s Halloween special, that had a shocking cliffhanger, she escaped hell, or seemingly so, which gave everyone a big question mark as the show looks to create more excitement with that type of ambiguous ending that keeps fans wanting more! This seems like a truly outrageous end and might also show us that there's something more than the "Scooby-Doo" universe might be willing to accept!

So while we may never know, the entire story seems set for an action packed ending that makes "Velma one of the best adult animated shows on the air. Fans are left hanging for those big questions. For now, there is a real lack of clarity on what's coming next! There's not many signs of if Max might be interested! However, what may come clear down the road, are the actual reviews and if they create any real lasting impression for the masses.
