Inspired by the original comic strip by Jim Davis, the series features the chonky feline at his finest, with each episode featuring the pop culture icon’s signature sarcasm and hilarious lackadaisy.
The series is produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studios, with Dave H. Johnson (Middlemost Post) and John Trabbic III (SpongeBob SquarePants, Middlemost Post) serving as Executive Producers.
With over 200 million daily comic readers and millions of social media followers, the Garfield brand’s massive global presence has spanned over 47 years and multiple generations.

Morris is an Emmy Award winner for his standout performance in FX’s Fargo. He will next star in Prime Video’s highly anticipated Spider-Noir and is currently in production on Jumanji 4. He is also the host of The Lamorning After podcast, which he co-hosts with Kyle Shevrin as well as New Girl rewatch podcast, The Mess Around with former cast mate Hannah Simone.
Morris is represented by Entertainment 360, CAA, The Lede Company and Myman Greenspan.

A premiere date for Garfield (w/t) will be announced sooner to the show's launch.
This pickup of Garfield, which is currently in production, brings to an end the project’s lengthy road to the screen. It started back in 2019 — two Paramount mergers and regimes ago — when Nickelodeon’s then-parent Viacom acquired the IP to the franchise, along with (a.k.a. Orson’s Farm) from owners Paws, Inc. and announced the development of a new Garfield animated series.
Under the agreement, Paramount predecessor Viacom also took over managing the global merchandising rights to the property. Since then, the Garfield character has been integrated into the Paramount Products & Experiences portfolio across categories spanning apparel, toys, publishing, food, pets and more, including such Nickelodeon game franchises as All-Star Brawl and Kart Racers, in which the Mondays-loathing cat was voiced by Frank Welker.
Meanwhile, the animated series has taken awhile to come together, spending seven years in development and production.
It is the first Garfield animated series since Paws’ 2009 The Garfield Show, which ran for five seasons on Cartoon Network/Boomerang in the U.S. with Welker voicing the title character.
Separately, there is Alcon/Sony’s Garfield 3D CGI animation feature franchise with Chris Pratt as the voice of the tabby cat. The first film, The Garfield Movie, was released in 2024; plans for a sequel, with Pratt reprising his role were announced last year. It is moving forward.
Since its launch in 1978, Davis’ syndicated comic strip has chronicled the life of the eponymous cat, his owner Jon Arbuckle and Odie the dog, as well as various friends. The brand currently counts over 200 million daily comic readers and millions of social media followers.
Garfield marks the latest new series pickup at Paramount+ by the streamer’s new post Skydance-Paramount merger team led by Cindy Holland, Paramount’s Chair of Direct-to-Consumer, and Paramount+‘s Head of Originals Jane Wiseman.
Update (10/29): The upcoming Garfield series produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio for Paramount+ will reportedlymove its design work to a Canadian vendor studio.
This is a similar move with The Loud House where production for its renewed tenth season was also moved to Canada.
