故事发生在虫子的世界里，蜘蛛就是警察，一名侦探在最终抓住了他的宿敌后登上了飞往旧金山的水上飞机，但飞机上的一场谋杀将他卷入了一个威胁人类和虫子世界的阴谋中。
樱田家身为一国的王族，有九个孩子，也就意味着有九位继承人等待着登上下一任的王座，为了选出最适合做国王的那一个人，现任的国王在城市里设置了200个摄像头，全方位的拍摄这九个孩子的一举一动并且放松给民众。 活泼开朗温柔可人的樱田葵（芽野爱衣 配音）、对一切都无所谓的樱田修（木村良平 配音）、爱财如命的樱田奏（石原夏织 配音）、非常害羞十分讨厌摄像机的樱田茜（花泽香菜 配音）、拥有七重分身的樱田岬（松井惠理子 配音）、有些神经质的樱田遥（村濑步 配音）、童颜巨乳的樱田光（小仓唯 配音）、年纪虽小却拥有一身怪力的樱田辉（胜田诗织 配音）和能够同动物们说话的樱田栞（铃木爱奈 配音），他们中究竟哪一个会成为下一任国王呢？
In this season, the show went back to airing one new episode a week, but stayed in the hour-length format, filling up the second half-hour with episodes from previous seasons and some of the prime-time specials from the 1980s. This entire season, along with the second half of season 6, is available on Garfield and Friends: Volume 5 DVD set. Also worth noting is that here, a new theme song was added that was written by J.R. Johnston and Neil Panton. The theme was sung by J.R. Johnston. This theme song was not shown internationally, and as a result, it does not appear on the DVDs (although Garfield's quotations are kept intact). This new introduction sequence used most clips from Seasons 5-7 and a few from the first two seasons, as well as Garfield in Paradise and Garfield's Feline Fantasies. The episodes stopped using a few seconds of the theme playing in the episode title cards after season seven's fourth episode; music from the episodes were used in the title cards until the show ended, even though season six used music from some of their episodes.
