Hulu and Amazon Prime Video are taking on the coming-of-age teen comedy genre with a new and exciting project that is unquestionably destined to be a hit among all ages. Davey and Jonesie’s Locker is definitely something that you should add to your watchlist right now!
Curious as to the action? Keep reading below for a synopsis from JustJaredJr.com.
Davey and Jonesie are two lovably eccentric best friends who have always felt out of step with their peers and the banal backdrop of their high school existence. So, when they discover their locker is actually a portal to the multiverse, they’re more than ready to escape their teenage prison of mediocrity in favor of new horizons. But the joke is on them when they only end up in bizarre, alternate versions of their high school, surrounded by offbeat versions of their classmates.
Fortunately, these audacious and creative besties are ready to make the most of this vacation from reality by leaving their mark on every universe they visit…even if it means choosing interdimensional chaos while they’re at it. Worth it for the vibes.
The series stars Veronika Slowikowska and Jaelynn Thora Brooks as Davey and Jonesie, respectively. This is the first television series for Brooks. In addition to the duo, Davey and Jonesie’s Locker will also star Dan Beirne as the science teacher and Emily Piggford as the villainous vice principal Cheryl Mason.
Other cast member include: Nikko Angelo Hinayo as Emile, Erika Swayze as Sierra, Kevin Osea as Abbott, Sydney Topliffe as Joyce, and Alexa Raphe as Alexis.
Diane Rankin, executive producer and EVP of rights at Distribution360 (the official distributor of the project), shared her thoughts about the project with Television Business International in a recent interview.
“It really occupies a sweet spot of sophisticated humour that’s approachable for younger audiences, with a signature style that feels specifically designed for them. The Davey and Jonesie friendship is both relatable and aspirational; this type of buddy comedy-for-comedy’s-sake is a domain most often reserved for boy’s stories, so it’s fresh to see two wacky, but clever teen girls at the helm.”
So, break out the popcorn and other snacks, get comfy and tune-in. Davey and Jonesie’s Locker is now streaming just in time for the holiday weekend!
