The New Adventures of Garfield and Friends

The New Adventures of Garfield and Friends is a follow-up animated series to Garfield and Friends. The show was greenlit for 20 episodes in August 10, 2017. IT premiered on September 17, 2018, coinciding with the 30-year anniversary of the original show. The second season premiered on August 31, 2019.
The series aired new episodes on the Boomerang network, and aired reruns on Cartoon Network beginning in April 2019. Starting with Season 2, Episode 8 ("Pool Party Pooper/Mice Night"), new episodes aired on Cartoon Network. In season 1, episodes of Orson's Farm were included. After negative reception of those segments, they were discontinued for season 2. The series totaled with 2 seasons and 40 episodes.
== Production ==
Development of the series began as early as 2009, when Garfield creator Jim Davis considered a "replacement" series for The Garfield Show, due to negative fan reception. He came up with the idea for a revival of far more popular Garfield and Friends, but almost scrapped due to Garfield's original voice actor (Lorenzo Music) being dead. Several years later, following the cancellation of The Garfield Show, Davis brought back the idea of a revival. Cartoon network heard about the idea, and said they were happy to do a revival.
=== Greenlight ===
On August 10, 2017, Jim Davis announced Garfield and Friends had been renewed for a 20-episode revival, under the working title Garfield Returns. On October 22, 2017, It was announced that the series would be called The New Adventures of Garfield and Friends, and that Orson's Farm segments would be included. On January 6, 2018, Davis tweeted on Twitter that the first script was complete, and that the series would premiere in August of that year. Due to minor post-production delays, the series was pushed back to September 2019.
=== Voices ===
Due to Lorenzo Music's death, Frank Welker (the voice of Garfield in THe Garfield Show) as Garfield's voice, albeit slighly altered to imitate Music's voice. All of the Orson's Farm characters voiced their respective characters in season 1. Basically, all characters were voiced by their actors from The Garfield Show.
== Broadcast ==
The series premiered on Boomerang on September 17, 2018, at 7pm, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of the original show. The premiere rivaled against a new episode of SpongeBob that premiered at the same time. Episodes then moved to Saturday mornings at 10am, just like the original show. In the Saturday morning premieres, the new episode came first at 10am, followed by the previous week's episode at 10:30am. The first season finished on May 10, 2019. Season 2 premiered on August 31, 2019, and ended on October 12, 2020, thus ending the series as a whole. Premieres switched channels from Boomerang to Cartoon Network (who aired reruns of the show since April 2019) on February 29, 2020 with the premiere of "Pool Party Pooper" and "Mice Night." It remained on the network until the series' end.
== Season 3 ==
There was originally going to be a third season. However, Declining ratings due to the network switch, as well as mixed to negative reception vetoed this idea.
