Chris Pratt is set to return to his role as the infamous, lasagna-loving cat Garfield in an animated sequel to The Garfield Movie. The 2024 film, released globally (except in China) by Sony Pictures, grossed over $230 million at the worldwide box office.

Pratt uploaded a video on Instagram announcing the project. Alcon co-CEOs Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson will produce the film, along with John Cohen, Steven P. Wegner and Pratt. Prime Focus Studios will co-produce alongside Alcon Entertainment. DNEG Animation, which worked on the first film, is returning as an animation partner.

Prior to the first film, Alcon acquired the rights from the creator of Garfield, Jim Davis, who will executive produce the sequel. Bridget McMeel from Amuse will also executive produce.

Producers are searching for a writer and director. Upcoming projects from Pratt include the Amazon MGM feature Mercy and Way Of The Warrior Kid from Apple and Skydance. He is represented by UTA, Rise and Sloan Offer.
