This is the second SpongeBob project arriving on Netflix following last August's Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie. When all the denizens of Bikini Bottom are suddenly scooped from the ocean, it’s up to SpongeBob and Sandy to travel to Texas and save their home from a villainous plot. The movie spent three weeks in the Netflix top 10s, picking up 47M hours watched, which equates to 32.4M views.

In 2019, Nickelodeon and Netflix struck a deal to bring new Nickelodeon projects exclusively to Netflix. Around the time of that deal, The New York Times was the first to mention that SpongeBob would be Netflix-bound. In their report, they referred to a Squidward musical, and although we’ve not seen that come to fruition specifically, we have gotten two SpongeBob SquarePants movie spin-offs. 

Over the past few years, Netflix has released several Nickelodeon movies exclusively based on established Nick IP, including The Casagrandes Movie, but other movies included Invader Zim: Enter the FLORPUSThe Loud House MovieRocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling, and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie. Netflix also acquired the international rights to The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run midway through the pandemic. Netflix also released the SpongeBob game SpongeBob: SquarePants Get Cooking! to its 50+ strong arsenal of mobile game titles. The game developed by iLLOGIKA.
