If you've ever wanted to go to Lawndale High with Daria, Jane, and the whole gang, we hate to break it to you, but . . . well, that's never going to happen. However, soon you'll be able to catch up with your favorite Lawndale Lions, thanks to the Daria spinoffs MTV is planning - one of which includes the previously announced spinoff formerly titled Daria and Jodie.
Back in June 2018, MTV announced Daria and Jodie as a reimagining of the original series, with a focus on the titular characters as they "take on the world, with their signature satirical voice while deconstructing popular culture, social classes, gender, and race." However, according to Variety, the network has reimagined its reimagining, as well as its plans for the franchise as a whole.

NEW YORK -- Christopher Kennedy Masterson, Bijou Phillips, Patrick Warburton and George Segal are starring in the indie romantic comedy Made for Each Other.
Masterson will play Dan, a newlywed frustrated that he hasn't consummated his marriage to a frigid bride (Phillips) three months after the wedding. So when his boss (Lauren German) -- who happens to be his wife's sister -- seduces him, his buddies (Samm Levine, Kyle Howard, and Danny Masterson) convince him that the best way to alleviate his guilt is to have an actor seduce his wife. They find Mack Mackenzie (Warburton), star of the touring show Waterworld the Musical.
Segal will play Dan's married playboy father, who discourages his son from living the way he does.
The film, now shooting in Connecticut, marks the first time brothers Chris and Danny Masterson have worked together.
Made is directed by Daryl Goldberg (the upcoming thriller Unholy). Production outfit Moderncine's founder Andrew van den Houten is producing from writer Eric Lord's first screenplay.
