Ever Wonder What “Daria” and cast would look like today?
Apparently, it’s still kinda depressing.
Entertainment Weekly has some sort of special edition issue that’s in stores that I’m not going to buy, but I thought this was interesting. The mag decided to celebrate 20 years of MTV’s Daria franchise with the character designer Karen Disher reimagining what the characters of the famed animated series would look like if aged. You can check out a video below that shows just that along with “Where They Are Now?” stories.
Fortunately, everyone’s alive, but we’ve got some divorcees and apparently Daria is still single after all of these years and living in NYC. Show co-creator Susie Lewis would love to bring the show back, and we can agree.
Brainy, sardonic Daria Morgendorffer tries to fly under the radar at Lawndale High School, and she’s doing a pretty good job of it: Her self-esteem teacher can’t even remember her name. Not that low self-esteem is a problem for Daria, who explains that “I have low esteem for everyone else.” Frankly, she couldn’t care less about the airheads in the “in” crowd, like her sister, Quinn, or cheerleader Brittany. At least best friend Jane Lane is readily available any time Daria needs a break from all the clueless masses around them.
I hope this turns out to be another Gravity Falls-type show with an overarching storyline.
