The One And Only Daria Is Returning To MTV

To quote the wonderful Daria Morgendorffer, "I'm defeat with emotion."


MTV reported that Daria will be returning in the form of a new series -- and the iconic animated franchise will be reinvented by means of the eyes of the beloved heroine and one of her closest companions Jodie Landon. These two smart young females will take on the world, with their signature satirical voice while deconstructing popular culture, social classes, gender and race. The new program -- which is piece of a new production unit at the network called MTV Studios -- will be written by Inside Amy Schumer scribe Grace Edwards.


A brief history about the unforgettable cartoon: Daria and her unique Lawndale-based circle -- sister Quinn, parents Jake and Helen, BFF Jane Lane and her brother Trent, The Style Club, The Three J's, pal Jodie and misc Lawndale High faculty -- made their debut on MTV in March 1997. The combat boots-loving teen supplied timeless (and amazingly acerbic) observations on adolescence and the rest -- "la la la la la la" -- is history.
