MTV is set to reboot adult animated sitcom "Daria" that ran on the network from 1997 to 2002.

Daria ran for five seasons on MTV, each with 13 episodes. The character of Daria, an acerbic teenage girl from a fictional suburban town, originated on the "Beavis and Butt-head" series.

"Inside Amy Schumer" writer Grace Edwards would pen the "Daria" update, reported Entertainment Weekly.

"MTV has the biggest collection of hit youth franchises that spans more than three decades of content and over 200 titles, part of which have fueled our resurgence.

"With MTV Studios, we are for the first time ever opening up this vault beyond our own platforms to reimagine the franchises with new partners," said MTV President Chris McCarthy in a statement.

Other reboots in the works at MTV Studios include "Aeon Flux" from Jeff Davis, more episodes of "The Real World", and a new version of the unscripted show "Made".
