So, what can we expect from the reboot? Going under the tentative title Daria and Jodie, this comeback series will focus on the lives of an adult Daria and her former Lawndale High classmate, Jodie Landon. Her signature satirical take on this “sick, sad world” is exactly what network television needs right now. While it can be dangerous to revisit a classic, amidst a seemingly hopeless political landscape, Daria is arguably more relevant today than ever before.
But now, our millennial prayers have finally been answered - as MTV has announced that a reboot of Daria is like, totally in the works. It’s been a pretty sad 16 years for angsty, cartoon-loving 90s babies.
Sadly though, unlike some popular adult animated series that run for decades, Daria’s swan song came in 2002. Her off-color brand of teen angst and cleverly placed sarcasm helped form the critical voice of the millennial generation. Remember Daria ? The animated adult sitcom on MTV? This Beavis and Butthead spin-off, starring a slightly misanthropic, disaffected, teenage outcast named Daria Morgendorffer, became an instant hit.
