Tracee Ellis Ross is teaming up with MTV to bring a spin off of the cult classic Daria, focused on an important Black cartoon character from the show, Jodie.

The spinoff will follow Jodie into her first real world job in technology, which is good because Jodie was always geared to attend college. “What Daria did for exploring the inanity of high school, Jodie will do for exploring the trials and tribulations of a first job,” stated MTV. “With themes of empowerment across gender and racial lines, explorations of privilege, and a wicked sense of humor, Jodie… will shine a light on the personal and professional issues all young people face in today’s complex, socially-conscious world.”

Ross said in a statement that she is “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.” She continues, “we will feature a diverse cast, comprised mainly of unapologetically smart and ambitious young female characters who are vulnerable and flawed and interesting and funny”

Apparently, “‘Jodie’ will be the first adult animated show in almost 20 years that will star a black woman.” This will only add to Ross’ plate with Black-ish, Mixied-ish, and many more actiing and producing projects under her belt. “It will be a smart, funny workplace comedy full of commentary about everything from gentrification to sex to tech to call-out culture,” Ross continued.

“Given the passion for these characters, there was only one person who could build upon the legacy to reimagine Jodie for a whole new generation, and that person is Tracee Ellis Ross,” said MTV president Chris McCarthy.
