The series will center on Daria’s best friend, Jodie, an African American character from the original series credited with helping to shape a generation of women. The series will follow her as she comes into her own and enters the workplace in her first post-college job in tech. Other former students of Lawndale High will also appear.

“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,” said Ellis Ross.

“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…

“Jodie will be the first adult animated show in almost 20 years that will star a black woman. It will be a smart, funny workplace comedy full of commentary about everything from gentrification to sex to tech to call-out culture.”

Daria ran for five seasons from 1997 to 2002.

The show marks Groening’s return to television and the first 10 episodes will be released on August 17th.

The show is set in the kingdom of Dreamland which is in a state of chaos. It follows the life of princess named Bean, who enjoys indulging in alcohol, as well as her companion named Elfo who happens to be an Elf who has a demon named Luci.

Bean will be voiced by Abbi Jacobson from Broad City while Elfo and Luci will be voiced by Nat Faxon, who in 2011 claimed a best adapted screenplay Oscar for The Descendants.

Other prominent voice actors who will be part of the production in support roles include Futurama’s John DiMaggio, Billy West, Maurice LaMarche, David Herman, Tress MacNeille, Jeny Batten, Rich Fulcher, Noel Fielding and Lucy Montgomery.

The official summary for Disenchantment states: “In Disenchantment, viewers will be whisked away to the crumbling medieval kingdom of Dreamland, where they will follow the misadventures of hard-drinking young princess Bean, her feisty elf companion Elfo and her personal demon Luci,”

“Along the way, the oddball trio will encounter ogres, sprites, harpies, imps, trolls, walruses and lots of human fools.”
