New 'SpongeBob SquarePants' Spin-Off Series May Be In The Works [UPDATE: Please See Correction and Update]

CORRECTION: Opps, it seems like I may have got it wrong. After rereading the article, it seems that Nickelodeon may have been talking about the existing SpongeBob spin-offs, and not a new one. I apologise for any inconvenience caused. Thank you for your understanding.

UPDATE: Executive producer Vincent Waller has confirmed that there is currently no new spin-off in the works. Again, I'd like to apologise for the mix-up.

The SpongeBob Universe is about to get bigger!

SpongeBob SquarePants

Nickelodeon's beloved animated series, SpongeBob SquarePants has been on-the-air for over 25 years, and shows no signs of slowing down any time soon - in fact, the SpongeBob Universe is set to expand once again with a brand new spin-off series!

Paramount Consumer Products revealed the news in the May 2025 issue of Toy World Magazine as part of their Licensing Expo 2025 highlights.

At the time of posting, not much is currently known about the new SpongeBob spin-off series, including its title, who the spin-off will center on, and when the series is set to premiere.

The new SpongeBob spin-off series will be the third spin-off from the long-running animated series, following Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years and The Patrick Star Show. Both set in an earlier timeframe than the core series, Kamp Koral follows SpongeBob and his friends at summer camp, and The Patrick Star Show follows Patrick Star and the rest of his family as they are constantly disrupted by his wild whims and surreal imagination. Both spin-offs see the stars from the main series reprise their respective roles.

Licensing Expo 2025 is set to take place from Tuesday, May 20-Thursday, May 22 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. Paramount Consumer Products will be at Stand 0180.

In addition to the more brand new episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants and its spin-off series on the way, fans can also look forward to the franchise's fourth theatrical film, The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, set to release in theaters later this year!

Not too much is currently known about The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, however, it was recently teased in a trailer during Paramount Pictures' presentation at CinemaCon that it'll follow SpongeBob's efforts to become a "big man." When Mr. Krabs (Clancy Brown) tells SpongeBob (Tom Kenny) about his days on the seas, it motivates SpongeBob and Patrick (Bill Fagerbakke) to follow in his footsteps and go on a swashbuckling sailing adventure. When SpongeBob and Patrick cross paths with the Flying Dutchman (Mark Hamill), he takes them to the underworld, where they must endure terrors beyond the sponge’s imagination, including scary rollercoasters. The movie will boast CG-animation and live-action.

During Paramount's CinemaCon presentation, Tom Kenny and Mark Hamill took to the stage to discuss The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants.

Hamill offered up a particularly eyebrow-raising tease for his role as the Flying Dutchman: "I actually did an episode of SpongeBob in the fifth season, and I did such a great job they asked me back 18 years later...And if I do my job correctly, every child in America will hate my guts."

The original SpongeBob SquarePants voice cast will return for The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants. The cast includes Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants), Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs), Rodger Bumpass (Squidward Tentacles), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick Star), Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy Cheeks) and Mr. Lawrence (Sheldon J. Plankton).

The Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies release, based on the beloved series created by Stephen Hillenburg, is being directed by Derek Drymon. Pam Brady and Lisa Stewart and producing.

The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants is currently slated to be released in theaters on Friday, December 19, 2025 during the holiday season.
