Can’t get enough of SpongeBob’s best bud? Get ready to laugh out loud this summer because Nickelodeon has officially announced that Patrick Star is getting his own spin-off series – The Patrick Star Show! Nickelodeon has ordered 13 episodes of this series that will focus on everyone’s favorite comedic starfish Patrick Star, voiced by the one and only Bill Fagerbakke.
“Nickelodeon is diving deeper into Bikini Bottom to give fans a look at our lovable young adult Patrick Star and his entire family with a sitcom only he could imagine up,” said Ramsey Naito, President, Nickelodeon Animation. The announcement comes at the heels of streaming platform Paramount+ premiering the first SpongeBob Squarepants spin-off show, Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years, which explores Bikini Bottom’s favorite people in their days of youth.
“This second original spinoff allows us to expand our reach, tell new stories and connect with our audience around the world who continue to love these characters,” Naito added.
Since 1999, SpongeBob Squarepants has created a universe of beloved characters, shaped pop culture, filled movie theaters, sold out consumer products, spawned a Tony-Award-winning Broadway musical and inspired a worldwide fan base. SpongeBob and friends are well-known in more than 170 countries and territories, translated in over 30 languages and averages more than 100 million total viewers every month – and now, it’s Patrick’s turn to share that spotlight.
The Patrick Star Show follows (you guessed it) Patrick and his family; his younger sister, Squidina, his mom and dad, Bunny and Cecil, and his grandpa, GrandPat, as they live through their day to day lives dealing with the underwater shenanigans that ensue from Patrick’s wild imagination and unpredictability.
To capture the spirit of the show it was based on, the SpongeBob Squarepants creative team, animation team, voice actors and co-executive producers will be returning to the nautical world of Bikini Bottom. And of course, no deep sea reunion would be complete without your favorite cast of characters, so get ready to welcome back to your screens – SpongeBob SquarePants, Squidward Tentacles, Sandy Cheeks, Mr. Krabs and Plankton!
Patrick Star has always been serving us a big plate of laughter with his witty phrases and hilarious comments that we are surely looking forward to hearing more of this year. Who knows, maybe this time Patrick will teach us more about Wumbology – the study of Wumbo! Or maybe it’s time he will teach us how to use mayonnaise as an instrument?
