The original series follows Davey and Jonesie, 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 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 inter-dimensional chaos while they’re at it. It’s worth it for the vibes.Davey & Jonesie’s Locker is a series developed & showrun by voice actress / writer Evany Rosen, creator of the TV series New Eden, and a writer on D.N.

The multiverse is everywhere.
Both literally if you believe emerging scientific evidence, and in pop culture where the idea that there are multiple variations on the theme of our reality are rampant.
You can see why it’s an attractive narrative tool for storytellers, with endless possibilities and the ability to comment on our world through realities alike but different, and so it is that the writers behind Davey & Jonesie’s Locker have taken this highly engaging idea and run with it … into a locker and cracking wryly delivered jokes all the way.
This series actually looks like a lot of fun; just how much, we”ll find out when Davey & Jonesie’s Locker premieres on 22 March on Prime Video.
