Jodie Landon is a fictional character from the MTV animated series Daria. She was voiced by Jessica Cydnee Jackson.

In 2020, Comedy Central ordered a spinoff series, Jodie, which will depict the character as a Generation Z post-college graduate entering her first job at a tech company. Tracee Ellis Ross was announced as an executive producer for the show and would voice the title role.[1] In May 2022, it was announced that Jodie would instead be an animated television film but it was dropped and shopped by MTV Entertainment Studios.

Daria[edit]

Jodie Landon is one of Lawndale High's few Black students.[2] Her boyfriend throughout the series is Michael "Mack" Mackenzie.

In the Daria series finale Is It College Yet?, Jodie decides to attend the fictional Turner College, a historically Black college, despite being accepted to Crestmore, a fictional top college.[3]
