Nickelodeon today announced it has greenlit Kamp Koral (working
title), an original spinoff series of its iconic hit, SpongeBob
SquarePants. The CG-animated series (13 episodes) introduces
10-year-old SpongeBob SquarePants during his summer at sleepaway
camp. The series is slated to begin production in June at
Nickelodeon in Burbank.
“SpongeBob has an incredible universe to expand upon and the
greenlight for Kamp Koral is a testament to the strength and
longevity of these characters known and loved by generations of
fans around the world,” said Ramsey Naito, EVP Animation Production
and Development, Nickelodeon.
In the series, SpongeBob and his pals spend the summer building
underwater campfires, catching wild jellyfish, and swimming in Lake
Yuckymuck at the craziest camp in the kelp forest, Kamp Koral.
Marc Ceccarelli and Vincent Waller (SpongeBob SquarePants) are
co-executive producers on the series.
Since its launch July 17, 1999, SpongeBob SquarePants has
reigned as the number-one kids’ animated series on TV for the last
17 years, while generating a universe of beloved characters, pop
culture catchphrases and memes, theatrical releases, consumer
products, a Tony award-winning Broadway musical and a global fan
base. SpongeBob SquarePants is the most widely distributed property
in Viacom International Media Networks history, seen in more than
208 countries and territories, translated in 55+ languages, and
averaging more than 100 million total viewers every quarter.
SpongeBob SquarePants is created by Stephen Hillenburg and produced
by Nickelodeon in Burbank, Calif. The character-driven cartoon
chronicles the nautical and sometimes nonsensical adventures of
SpongeBob, an incurable optimist and earnest sea sponge, and his
undersea friends.
