In a move underscoring the power and success of
Nickelodeon’s franchises, the network is expanding its SpongeBob
SquarePants universe with 52 episodes across the property’s three
series. Nickelodeon has greenlit additional episodes of The Patrick
Star Show and season 13 of the original SpongeBob SquarePants
series and also, Paramount+ has renewed Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s
Under Years for a second season and added additional episodes to
season one. Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years, The Patrick Star
Show and SpongeBob SquarePants, which are all currently in
production at the Nickelodeon Animation Studio in Burbank, find the
denizens of Bikini Bottom continuing to embark on all-new
adventures.
Said Ramsey Naito, President of Nickelodeon Animation,
“SpongeBob is the centerpiece of our franchise strategy to expand
the worlds of our characters and grow our global reach even
further. It’s a property that wins on every platform because the
richness of the characters and the comedy intrinsic to the
storytelling continue to appeal to so many fans around the
world.”
Each of the three series in the SpongeBob SquarePants universe
continue to garner sizeable audiences. The Patrick Star Show ranks
as the number one animated show across all television with Kids
6-11 year to date. The original SpongeBob SquarePants series
remains overall television’s top animated kids’ show, with the
SpongeBob SquarePants library on Paramount+ reigning as one of the
service’s most-watched titles, as well. Since its March 4 debut,
Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years has risen to the top as one of
Paramount+’s most popular original titles for kids.
The pickup includes the following:
- The Patrick Star Show (Season 1, 13 additional episodes,
Nickelodeon): The second spinoff of the number-one animated series

with his family, where he hosts his own variety show for the
neighborhood from his television-turned-bedroom.
- SpongeBob SquarePants (Season 13, 13 additional
episodes, Nickelodeon): Nickelodeon’s longest-running animated
series continues the nautical adventures of SpongeBob and his

- Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years (Season 1,
additional 13 episodes, Season 2, 13 episodes, Paramount+): In the
first-ever SpongeBob SquarePants spinoff, the CG-animated prequel

spend their summer building underwater campfires, catching wild
jellyfish, and swimming in Lake Yuckymuck at the craziest camp in
the kelp forest, Kamp Koral.
Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years features Tom Kenny
(SpongeBob), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick), Rodger Bumpass (Squidward),
Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs), Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy) and Mr. Lawrence
