What originally started as a Daria spin-off series featuring Daria and her friend Jodie, then became a series all about Jodie. Now, the spin-off is being developed as a feature animated film titled Jodie. Tracee Ellis Ross is still attached to lead the MTV project as Jodie, and the film will follow the college graduate as she interns for the tech company Firstfinity.
The film fills out its cast with King Of The Hill’s Pamela Adlon, Cole Escola, Jojo T. Gibbs, The Good Place’s William Jackson Harper, Zosia Mamet, SNL’s Alex Moffat, Dermot Mulroney, Arden Myrin, Kal Penn, Kofi Siriboe, Dulcé Sloan, and Heléne Yorke.
The full character descriptions are below, per Variety:
– Pamela Adlon will play Jocelyn Light, the trailblazing VP of Internet Affairs at FirstFinity whom Jodie reveres.
– Cole Escola will play Ryan, Jodie’s intern friend at Firstfinity who is allergic to earnestness.
– Jojo T. Gibbs will play Tiffany, who has swag for weeks, lives in Jodie’s building and is Cas’ ex.
