- 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.
- Since Garfield's integration into the Paramount Products & Experiences portfolio, the property has shown continued growth with global partnerships across categories spanning apparel, toys, publishing, food, pet and more.
- GARFIELD (W/T) will deepen the kids & family offerings on Paramount+, joining recently greenlit children’s programs on Paramount+ including THE ELEPHANT & PIGGIE SHOW! and THE PIGEON SHOW! STARRING THE PIGEON.
- 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.
