This article is about projects that were in development at various levels, until they were cancelled before they went into official production.

Untitled live-action Hanna-Barbera series
In the late 1970's, Hanna-Barbera planned to produce a live-action series. They did test footage with writer Duane Poole dressed as Shaggy and a guy in Scooby suit, but nothing went beyond that.

Mixed Nutz
In 2008, Tom Ruegger had pitched a crossover between the properties once produced by Hanna-Barbera and Warner Bros.' Looney Tunes. Feedback was positive and a pilot was ordered, then due to a sudden hiring of Sam Register as the executive in charge of Warner Bros. Animation, it was pulled, as Register had his own plans for the Looney Tunes property. Crossovers included Bugs Bunny joining the gang, Daffy substituting for Shaggy, Gossamer meeting Scooby, and a parody of the Dogs Playing Poker paintings by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge, with one drawing including Scooby, Scrappy, Huckleberry Hound, Auggie Doggie, and Bandit.

Untitled live-action Cartoon Network series
Cartoon Network were more interested in a TV series to continue Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins and Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster, rather than more films, but neither Cartoon Network nor Warner Bros. were projecting a high enough budget, with Warner Bros. also seeing no financial gain of airing exclusively on Cartoon Network. Cartoon Network were also ready to drop their live-action programming altogether, so any potential sequels were axed, too.

Sequel to Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed
Warner Bros. were in the middle of getting a sequel written to and, hiring Dan Forman & Dan Foley, due to their work on an undeveloped live-action adaptation of The Jetsons, apparently not rehiring James Gunn.

Live-action reboot
Warner Bros. announced a new live-action film, along with the animated Scoob, with only the latter moving forward.

Scooby-Doo's Zany Time Travelin' Christmas Adventure in Laff-O-Rama
The plot involved the gang being unhappy. After Daphne's life is endangered, the gang go back in time to fix things, which leads to Daphne's family becoming poor and Shaggy's family becoming rich.

The cast of Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins and Scooby-Doo! Curse of the Lake Monster were signed for a third film, which depended on the successful ratings of the latter, which were fulfilled, but due to disagreements over handling a spin-off TV series between Warner Bros. and Cartoon Network, it led to the complete cancellation of the third film as well.

Sequel to
The plot involved Irish fairy tales coming to life.

As  had been cancelled, so was any chances of further sequels.
