Jodie cast: Who’s in the Daria spin-off movie?

Daria was the show that every angsty teen needed growing up.

The hit animated show taught its audiences a lot about how to feel the ugly emotions society tells us not to feel. Be it feeling insecure about one’s self or having anger toward your ex, Daria was never afraid to cover any emotion or topic. What’s more, the show highlighted loads of different characters from all walks of life, so it helped audiences relate to the material that much more.

With all this in mind, it doesn’t come as a surprise to us that, nearly 22 years later, Daria is still regarded as an animated series adored by all. Although we had to bid a farewell to the show in 2001, fans will be excited to know that there is a spin-off film on the way!

The upcoming film will follow the life of Daria’s fellow high school peer Jodie and is slated to have a cast full of actors and actresses you absolutely know and love.

As always, exciting things are on the way! Read on to learn the main cast of the upcoming animated film, Jodie.
