Paramount+ Orders New Garfield Animated Series

Paramount+ has ordered the new original animated series Garfield (w.t.), with Lamorne Morris (New Girl, Fargo, Spider-Noir) to voice the iconic orange cat.

Inspired by the original comic strip by Jim Davis, the series is being produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studios. Dave H. Johnson (Middlemost Post) and John Trabbic III (SpongeBob SquarePants, Middlemost Post) are serving as executive producers.

The Garfield brand has over 200 million daily comic readers and millions of social media followers. Since its integration into the Paramount Products & Experiences portfolio, the property has continually grown with global partnerships across categories spanning apparel, toys, publishing, food, pet and more.
