While initially there was supposed to be a Daria reboot, MTV has read-the-room and have opted to do a series based on the black character on Daria, Jodie Landon. While some diehard Daria faithful might be upset, it’s an intriguing change, especially with Tracee Ellis Ross calling the shots. 

There are so many different elements in play here that we’re truly curious as to what Jodie might sound, look, feel like (even if it’s wildly different from Daria) and how successful this move is in, presumably, attempting to be a Gen-Z take on Daria. 

One thing we do know is that if Jodie has any bit of success, you can count on this being a popular Halloween costume for years and years to come.
