I suppose this is possible, after all there were 7 films (Loch Ness Monster - Samurai Sword) created in the style of WNSD!, 2 that had tried to stay as close as possible to the orginal run (Legend of the Vampire & Monster of Mexico) as well as the 3 Made for TV Movies in the 80's that used the 13 Ghosts designs (Boos Brothers, Ghool School & Reluctant Werewolf), so I suppose it's possible that the films could very soon switch styles to that of BCSD!

I imagine hat it would depend on the popularity of BCSD! as this is usually the reason for the change I'd imagine, as well as WB presumably wanting a definitive version for the audience. I imagine the films from the 80's were done in the 13 Ghosts style as it was just the most recent design as there were no Scooby shows in production at the time.

LoV and MoM were made to appeal to old fans by using the old HB sound effects and bringing back as many of the old voice cast that were still living even if they were retired, and felt like a somewhat loveletter to the original show, as well as being a shift away from the slightly darker DTVs (Zombie Island-Cyber Chase)

From Loch Ness Monster onwards, they seemed to want to use the succes of WNSD! which had had a successful first 2 seasons with a 3rd in the works, and so they used the voice cast and designs from that show, as well as using the personalities from that particular show.

S&SD:GAC never seemed to feel quite as popular as WNSD even with younger audiences, and despite garnering 2 seasons, it was most likely not deemed popular enough to be adapted into the DTV line, as well as the fact that the series had quite an episodic formula which might not translate as well onto film, as well as the absence of Fred, Velma and Daphne.

When SD:MI came out in 2010, the DTV line also shifted away from WNSD! and developed it's own style (starting with Abracadbra Doo), however there were elements from SDMI used in these films such as the shift back to High School and to their original outfits, the romantic tension between Fred and Daphne, as well as Fred's love of traps, mentioned atleast once, as well as lots of nods to the gangs original monsters in SDWAY. I felt this new style came about as they didn't want WNSD! to be possibly stepping on the toes of SDMI (I could be wrong, but that's what I always thought) and so they moved to this new style which adopted some lements fro SDMI to seem somewhat cohesive, however as SDMI was set in an alternate timeline and had a 2 season arc, it most likely would not have fit well with having stand alone DTV adventures.

Additionally there was the puppet movie Scooby-Doo Adventures: The Mystery Map, which was done in the style of APNSD which I feel is because they wanted to aim the film at a younger audience as well as those designs translated into puppets best.

So for BCSD to be adapted into the DTV line will most likely depend on how successful the series does, as well as how easy it would be to adapt into DTV's, which we can't be sure of yet as the show has not aired, however the show does look to be somewhat wackier, possibly in the vain of what Teen titans Go is to the Tenn titans series, if so then I doubt it would translate well into a film, as TTG has 11 minute episodes rather than 22 minutes and so it would not be the easiest thing to adapt into 90ish minute movies. However I like to have faith that the show will be somewhat better than I have predicted above as it has some of the same crew as SDMI if I'm not mistaken.

Sorry for the long explantaion but I hope it's easy to follow, once I started typing I just couldn't satop lol, I'm not entirely sure where t all came from lol. Lastly I'd just like to add that i think it's great that a 9 year old can come here and disscuss what I can only presume is one of your favourite shows on here, especially as you are in the target demographic for the show Ruby, and I think you can add opinions to a disscussion that maybe someone older than said demographic hadn't thought of. I certainly wasn't as confiednt online as you are when I was 9. In  the end I'd have to agree with you though that I would prefer the DTV designs to be a TV show rather than the BCSD designs, but we can always give it a go.:)
