NEW YORK— (Oct. 18, 2024)—Nickelodeon treated fans to an exclusive SpongeBob SquarePants panel at New York Comic Con 2024, celebrating its rich origins and revealing what’s ahead for the world’s most famous sea sponge and Bikini Bottom denizens. Legendary voices Tom Kenny (SpongeBob), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick), Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy), Rodger Bumpass (Squidward), Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs), and Mr. Lawrence (Plankton), along with executive producers Marc Ceccarelli and Vincent Waller, brought the F.U.N. to continue the monumental 25th anniversary celebration of the animated series.

Moderated by Matt Forte (Podcast Host & Writer), panel highlights include:

  • Announcement of The Patrick Star Show’s renewal for seasons four (13 episodes) and five (13 episodes), which will continue to tell brand-new stories about one of the most beloved best friends in TV history--Patrick Star. The Patrick Star Show, the second SpongeBob SquarePants spinoff, stars Patrick and the rest of his family as they are constantly disrupted by his wild whims and surreal imagination. All-new season three episodes will continue to air across Nickelodeon.
  • A clip reveal from the upcoming half-hour 25th anniversary special,
    SpongeBob SquarePants, “Snow Yellow,” slated to debut in November on Nickelodeon. In the special, when Snow Yellow is deemed the “squarest of them all,” the evil Queen Karen seeks to claim the title for herself by any means necessary.
  • An exclusive first look at the stop-motion 25th anniversary special SpongeBob SquarePants, “SpongeBob & Sandy’s Country Christmas” premiering in December on Nickelodeon and Paramount+. In the half-hour special, when one of Sandy’s experiments goes awry, the Cheeks family team up to save Christmas in Bikini Bottom. The special features Craig Robinson as Pa Cheeks, Johnny Knoxville as Randy Cheeks, and Grey Delisle as Ma Cheeks, Granny Cheeks, Rosie and Rowdy reprising their roles as Sandy Cheek’s family from the recently released movie Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie.
  • A peek at The Patrick Star Show, “Thanks But No Thanksgiving,” where the Stars celebrate Thanksgiving with Bunny’s side of the family in Klopnod, and the reveal of first-look images of the half-hour holiday special “Squidina’s Holidaze Special,” where Squidina has to direct her school holiday play, but her script was mangled by Patrick.
  • Voice cast members Tom Kenny (SpongeBob), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick), Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy), Rodger Bumpass (Squidward), Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs), and Mr. Lawrence (Plankton) conducted live scene reads from two fan-favorite episodes, “Band Geeks” (season 2) and “Scaredy Pants” (season 1).

Since its launch July 17, 1999, SpongeBob SquarePants has generated 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 one of the most widely distributed properties in Paramount history, seen in more than 180 markets, translated in 30+ languages, and averaging more than 90 million total viewers every quarter. SpongeBob SquarePants was 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.
