The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run will skip a theatrical release and go straight to premium rental services, before then exclusively premiering on CBS All Access in 2021, Variety reports.
If you didn’t know, the CBS All Access streaming service is owned by ViacomCBS, the parent company of Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures, the studio behind the movie.
The new animated film follows SpongeBob and Patrick embarking on an epic adventure to The Lost City of Atlantic City to bring Gary home after the beloved pet snail gets snail-napped.
As they navigate the delights and dangers on this perilous and hilarious rescue mission, SpongeBob and his pals prove there’s nothing stronger than the power of friendship.
The movie was originally supposed to premiere in theaters on May 22nd, but was pushed back due to the pandemic. It was then moved to August 7th.

Fans have been talking about SpongeBob Squarepants‘ sexuality since Saturday (June 13)!
The Nickelodeon Twitter account celebrated Pride Month with a post of SpongeBob, Michael D Cohen aka Schwoz from Danger Force, and Korra from Legend of Korra.
“Celebrating #Pride with the LGBTQ+ community and their allies this month and every month,” the tweet reads.
SpongeBob‘s sexuality has been in question for many years, and fans immediately took the post as insinuating that the underwater character is gay, without actually coming out and saying it.
Back in 2005, SpongeBob creator Stephen Hillenburg opened up about the character’s identity, revealing that he was asexual, not gay.
David Dobrik is heading under the sea to Bikini Bottom!
The vlogger will be hosting The Stars of SpongeBob Fan Favorites Special, a virtual table read uniting the voices behind the popular SpongeBob Squarepants characters, voice actors Tom Kenny (SpongeBob), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick), Rodger Bumpass (Squidward), Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy), Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs) and Mr. Lawrence (Plankton).
“I signed onto this project for the obvious reason that SpongeBob is one of the best shows of all time,” David said in a statement. “I feel that I owe a lot to SpongeBob and all Bikini Bottom for helping me figure out what I thought was funny and entertaining. The show shaped so much of my childhood, so being a part of this special with the entire cast feels like a full circle moment.”
In the special, the cast will recreate the most memorable moments and lines from the show. David will also lead the cast through a lightning round of the best one-liners and iconic quotes, later joining them for a brand-new rendition of the “F.U.N. Song.”
The Stars of SpongeBob Fan Favorites Special will premiere on Friday, June 5th, at 7:00pm ET/PT on Nickelodeon!
