According to a recent source, a long-rumored SpongeBob SquarePants movie centred on Sandy Cheeks would be available on Netflix in 2023. Some of the anticipated Paramount films for the remainder of the year and into 2023 are described in a recent report. SpongeBob is mentioned in the report, which cites Emily in Paris as one among the major projects coming from Paramount exclusively to Netflix.
SpongeBob SquarePants is a worldwide success that frequently invests in brand-new material for all platforms. 2023 will see the continuation of the 14 seasons’ content on Clan and the debut of seasons 2 of SpongeBob First Adventures and Patrick is the Star on Nickelodeon’s Kampamento Koral spin-off. Additionally, in 2023, Netflix will produce a new feature film starring Arenita, one of the series’ most adored characters.
Many details about the new title, like whether Netflix would release the film internationally or simply in specific regions, are unknown, as Nickalive points out. The movie might be included in the agreement Netflix made with Nickelodeon for 2020. In the recent years, Netflix has exclusively released a number of Nickelodeon films based on well-known Nick IP. The most recent film they produced was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie, although they also produced Rocko’s Modern Life: Static Cling and Invader Zim: Enter the FLORPUS.
The movie was first leaked by Jeff Sneider at Collider in May 2021, yet Netflix has yet to acknowledge it. According to the source, Tom J. Stern and Kaz, the writers of SpongeBob, collaborated on the writing, and Liza Johnson will be directing. The NYTimes claimed that Netflix would also be getting a Squidward spin-off the year before this report, but it was quickly refuted.
To put it mildly, SpongeBob’s Netflix content is dispersed. With some territories just just losing the title in places like the UK, many regions are still streaming specific seasons of the main show. Midway through the outbreak, Netflix purchased the worldwide rights to The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run. Additionally, Netflix has added a SpongeBob game to their library of over 30 mobile game titles. On September 27, the game SpongeBob: Squarepants Get Cooking!, which was created by iLLOGIKA, was made available on iOS and Google Play.
