But everything changes when they witness their quirky science teacher, played by the acclaimed Dan Beirne, vanish into a seemingly ordinary locker. Curiosity piqued, the girls investigate and stumble upon a hidden portal, unlocking a doorway to a multiverse of possibilities.
Each step through the portal takes Davey and Jonesie to a wacky alternate version of their school, filled with bizarre versions of their classmates and teachers. Imagine a world where the principal turns into a monstrous version of herself, or your nemesis becomes a completely different person!
The thrill of exploring these alternate realities is balanced with the hilarious chaos that ensues as the girls try to navigate their way back home before anyone notices their disappearance.
Davey & Jonesie’s Locker isn’t just about the laughs, though. The show is also a celebration of female friendship. Creator Evany Rosen, who also stars as the eccentric Principal Debbie Neighbors, aimed to develop a series that showcased a genuine and relatable bond between two teenage girls.
She highlights the importance of self-acceptance and the unique power of a strong female friendship during those awkward high school years.
The series boasts a talented cast alongside Slowikowska, Brooks, and Beirne. Emily Piggford portrays the villainous Vice Principal Cheryl Mason, determined to make life difficult for our intrepid protagonists. Rounding out the cast are Nikko Angelo Hinayo, Erika Swayze, Kevin Osea, Sydney Topliffe, and Alexa Yaphe.
With its unique premise, quirky humor, and focus on female friendship, Davey & Jonesie’s Locker is poised to become the next big teen comedy hit. So, get ready to binge-watch all ten episodes on Hulu (US) or Prime Video (Canada, Australia, New Zealand) starting March 22nd!
