June 21, 2018

MTV is ramping up production operations and getting into producing programming for other buyers with the launch of MTV Studios.

It will be focused largely on developing and producing reboots, revivals and spin-offs of series from MTV’s library of more than 200 young adult titles in addition to new shows, predominantly unscripted.

"Daria & Jodie", "The Real World" and "Æon Flux" all are being pitched to streaming platforms like Hulu, Netflix and Apple.

"The Real World" is being done through MTV Studios and Bunim-Murray.

MTV Studios’ initial slate includes:

- "Daria & Jodie", a reimagining of MTV’s 1990s feminist series "Daria", from writer Grace Edwards (Inside Amy Schumer)

- An update of the Emmy-winning coming-of-age unscripted series "Made"

- A live-action remake of MTV’s animated sci-fi series "Æon Flux", from "Teen Wolf" creator Jeff Davis

- A return of the network’s groundbreaking reality series "The Real World" with Bunim/Murray Productions

I still love Daria, but let me remind you people of something about "Made."

I'm glad Daria is coming back. It shows that you don't have to be a male cartoon character to have a hit animated show. Hear that Seth MacFarland?

I'm going to be very intrigued about how this is going to work. One can argue that Daria's constant cynicism has not aged well. To put it in another way, one might believe that today's kids (or Millenials or Gen-z'ers) are way more optimistic than kids of that generation were back in the '90s. On that end, Daria as a character is really such a SPECIFIC Gen-X snapshot and stereotype.
