Paramount+ has commissioned a new version of the classic animated series Garfield.
Produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studios, the new series will feature the sarcastic orange cat voiced by actor, comedian, and podcast host Lamorne Morris.
The project stands out as one of the largest children’s TV commissions by Paramount Skydance since David Ellison took the helm.
Executive producers include Dave H. Johnson (Middlemost Post) and John Trabbic III (SpongeBob SquarePants, Middlemost Post).
The TV and film franchise is based on Jim Davis’s original comic strip, first published in the mid-1970s. Between 1982 and 1991, several animated specials aired on CBS, and from 1988 to 1994, Garfield & Friends ran for approximately 120 episodes.
