Jack, Chrissy and Janet are back, both on TV screens and store shelves, as the series Three’s Company is seeing a new surge of licensing activity.
Brand owner DLT Entertainment is stepping up its licensing efforts around the classic sitcom Three’s Company, rolling out a broad slate of officially licensed merchandise spanning apparel, collectibles, calendars and home entertainment.
The international production and distribution company, which owns the rights to the series, said its brand licensing agency, Perpetual Licensing, has secured multiple deals across multiple categories, positioning Three’s Company for a renewed retail presence during the 2025 holiday season and beyond.
“It’s amazing how popular these iconic characters continue to be,” said Donald Taffner Jr., president of DLT Entertainment. “And what’s even more amazing is that fan enthusiasm for Three’s Company and The Ropers seems to be exploding, with grassroots fan-staged events like ‘Ropers Romps’ popping up in cities all across the country.
“This renewed push into licensing and merchandising is a way for us to give fans even more ways to celebrate the characters they love so much,” Taffner added. “Thanks to Perpetual Licensing and our great partners, Toynk, 80’s Tees, Giant Step Design, Gotham City Online, and VEI for creating such fun, colorful, high-quality products based on these classic shows.”
The expanded program includes products from a range of specialty and pop culture-focused licensees. Collectibles company Toynk is introducing action figures featuring Jack Tripper, Chrissy Snow and Janet Wood, along with branded jigsaw puzzles. Retro apparel specialist 80’s Tees is offering licensed Three’s Company T-shirts, while Gotham City Online has released a 2025 wall calendar themed around the show.

Additional merchandise is coming from Giant Step Design, which has launched an assortment of apparel and accessories including T-shirts, sweatshirts, tote bags and headwear. Collect Bobbles has rounded out the collectibles category with a full bobblehead lineup featuring Jack, Chrissy and Janet, as well as landlords Mr. and Mrs. Roper and nosey neighbour Mr. Furley.
Separately, DLT has partnered with Toronto-based Video Entertainment Inc. (VEI) on an official Three’s Company DVD box set that includes bonus content and related series. The collection features all 172 episodes of Three’s Company, all 28 episodes of the spin-off The Ropers, and 22 episodes of Three’s a Crowd, which followed Jack Tripper after the original series concluded.
Originally adapted by DLT from the British sitcom Man About the House, Three’s Company aired in the U.S. from 1977 to 1984 and remains a staple of syndicated television. The expanded licensing program reflects the show’s continued cultural relevance and the enduring appeal of classic sitcom brands in today’s nostalgia-driven licensing market.
Perpetual Licensing, founded in 2004, specializes in developing merchandise programs for established brands and worked with DLT to assemble the current roster of licensees.
