Currently in its 13th season, the show has already been renewed for its 14th season, solidifying its position as one of the longest-running animated series in American television history. SpongeBob SquarePants' enduring popularity has transformed it into a thriving media franchise and a lucrative asset for Paramount. Furthermore, 2021 saw the introduction of two spin-off series: "Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years" and "The Patrick Star Show."
SpongeBob SquarePants has branched out beyond television shows and made its way onto the big screen. Currently, there are three movies: The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, and The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run. Two additional movies – Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie and The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants – are scheduled for the future. But that's not all. There are even more movies in the works, including character spinoffs for Paramount+ and Netflix, as well as a theatrical SpongeBob SquarePants movie.
