Paramount Reportedly Shuts Down Production On New 'Garfield' Animated Series

Paramount has reportedly decided to cancel production on an untitled Garfield animated series.

In a post on Facebook, veteran animator Bob Camp, who previously worked on The Ren & Stimpy Show and currently works as a Storyboard Supervisor on The Patrick Star Show, a spin-off from SpongeBob SquarePants, revealed in a Facebook post that he has heard that Paramount may have "shut down the Garfield series" at Nickelodeon following Paramount's merger with Skydance. However, Camp later followed up his comment admitting that he wasn't sure how accurate the information was.

There has been murmurings of a new Garfield animated series being in the works at Nickelodeon for some time. In 2019, when Paramount (then Viacom) acquired the Garfield franchise for Nickelodeon, Paramount revealed in a press release that Nickelodeon was planning to develop a new Garfield animated series. Then, in August 2025, Snipple Animation hinted that they were attached to the project.

Although the status of Nickelodeon's Garfield project is currently unknown, the Garfield franchise continues to thrive as a whole. In addition to the on-going Garfield comic strip, the Monday-hating feline continues to feature in consumer products, including video games and an upcoming Baby Garfield comic series from BOOM! Studios. There is also a sequel to 2024's The Garfield Movie in the works from Alcon Entertainment and Sony Pictures.
