Update (12/19) - Writer Mark Dindal (Wonder Park, Chicken Little, The Fox and the Hound) has confirmed that he's working on a Garfield feature film for Nickelodeon! The CalArts alumni revealed the news during the Walt Disney Family Museum’s last Happily Ever After Hours of 2020.
Update (2/12) - It's currently unknown whether the movie is being produced by Nickelodeon, or whether the "Nick Day" referred to the previously announced Alcon Entertainment (something that I didn't know about prior to writing this post). I've updated the post to reflect this.

At "Nick Day 2020", Nickelodeon also honored Alexandre Volpi from Vertical, the former licencing agent for the Garfield brand in Brazil, in which Volpi talked about the company's solid licensing program for Garfield:
It's currently unknown whether the new Garfield film will be a theatrical movie or made-for-TV. Although unconfirmed, if the Garfield movie is being made for a theatrical release, it's highly likely that it's being co-produced by Paramount Pictures.
From EP Groupo:
GARFIELD “MUDA-SE” PARA A NICK – Isso mesmo. O personagem clássico entra para o time da ViacomCBS. Alexandre Volpi da Vertical, antiga “casa” do famoso gato, marcou presença, foi homenageado e falou, ainda, sobre o sucesso da marca nos últimos anos. Novidades: novo filme em produção, nova animação para TV e novos conteúdos digitais em desenvolvimento.
The acquisition of Garfield is part of Nickelodeon’s strategy to be the home for the biggest franchises kids and families love, and it expands Nickelodeon’s growing portfolio of influential properties that already includes SpongeBob SquarePants, PAW Patrol, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Blue’s Clues & You!, and The Adventures of Paddington series, as well as the the forthcoming first-ever SpongeBob spinoff, Kamp Koral, and all-new animated Star Trek.
