A spinoff of MTV's Daria is on the way.Comedy Central released a first look at Digman!, which started with Samberg as Digman's voiceover saying "Legends are rarely real," and shows a teaser of an animated Digman counting to make sure that tablets listed as the Ten Commandments actually have the required amount.
