12 TV Shows You Didn't Know Were Returning Soon
12. Jodie
Daria was one of MTV's most critically acclaimed animated series from 1997 until 2002. Since the show went off the air, the Daria universe has been quiet, but fans of the original series have something to look forward to, thanks to a spinoff series called Jodie (It was originally titled Daria & Jodie).
The original Daria series was itself a spinoff from Beavis and Butthead. The new show will feature Daria and her animated universe, but the focus will shift away from Ms. Morgendorffer to Jodie Landon, who was a big part of the original series.
Tracee Ellis Ross has joined the cast as the voice of the titular character—she was originally voiced by Jessica Cydnee Jackson. The premise will follow Jodie as she enters the workforce in her first job working in tech since she graduated from college.
The spinoff is the brainchild of Grace Nkenge Edwards, who will serve as the head writer.
"I am thrilled to bring this project to life with MTV, both as executive producer and by voicing Jodie’s character. Being able to give voice to fresh, feminist, and unexplored stories of young women excites me."
According to MTV, Jodie is only the first in many projects stemming from the Daria universe, so expect more to come in the near future. Jodie was still in development by late 2019, so there haven't been any updates as to when the show might air, but odds are, it will be in mid-late 2020 or beyond.
