MTV has launched MTV Studios, a new production unit that will create and produce new shows, reboots and spin-offs from the cable channel’s extensive content library, ET reports.
First on its list is a new iteration of the animated series Daria, tentatively titled Daria & Jodie. The hit series will be reinvented through the eyes of Daria Morgendorffer and one of her closest friends, Jodie Landon.
“These two smart young women take on the world, with their signature satirical voice while deconstructing popular culture, social classes, gender and race,” according to MTV.
The studio is also launching Aeon Flux, a live-action reboot of the anime classic that follows the heroine assassin teaming up with a group of biohacking rebels in the not too distant dystopian future to battle a brutally repressive regime and save humanity.
Aside from The Real World and reality show Made, MTV also introduced The Valley, a coming of age docu-series inspired by The Hills, featuring first loves, relationship and life decisions with a twist. It follows a group of young friends in Nogales, Arizona, a town along the border of USA and Mexico.
And there’s MTV’s Straight Up Ghosted, which “explores real stories of real people who vanished by blocking them, and unlocks the reality and uncomfortable truth to satisfy the ultimate question – why did you leave me?”
