Daria is an American adult animated sitcom created by Glenn Eichler and Susie Lewis Lynn. The series ran from March 3, 1997 to January 21, 2002 on MTV. It is a spin-off of Mike Judge's earlier animated series, Beavis and Butt-Head, in which Daria appeared as a recurring character. Although Judge gave his blessing to release the character to allow her to appear in the spin-off, he had no involvement in the production of Daria himself, as he was busy working on King of the Hill. In June 2019, MTV announced a new Daria animated spin-off series, Jodie, with actress Tracee Ellis Ross voicing the titular character and serving as an executive producer. The network characterized the series as the first in multiple projected Daria animated spinoffs. In June 2020, Comedy Central announced it had picked up a spinoff series along with Beavis and Butthead.
