Nickelodeon Is Creating a 'SpongeBob SquarePants' Spinoff Series!

SpongeBob SquarePants is getting bigger!

Nickelodeon is plotting some different ways to grow out their hit series with different spinoffs, according to a report by Variety on Thursday (February 14).

“That’s our Marvel Universe. You have this amazing show that’s run for almost twenty years,” said Nickelodeon president Brian Robbins.

He also confirmed that the original SpongeBob series will remain in the works, but that there is “room to explore other characters.”

Potential spinoff options include a “tell an original story about SpongeBob and Patrick, or maybe tell a Sandy Cheeks stand-alone story, or can Plankton have his own? I think the fans are clamoring for it.”
