Our favourite goofy best friend is getting his own show!
We love a spin-off featuring one of our favourite characters on television - and many will say this next move is long overdue!
The hugely popular hit show, 'SpongeBob SquarePants' has been on television since 1999.

It is hard to remember a time when we did not have the characters of Bikini Bottom entertaining us. The success of the show is on-going and Nickelodeon has just made an announcement that has fans incredibly excited.
A prequel series featuring SpongeBob's best friend, Patrick, will be hitting our screens in the not-too-distant future! Our favourite goofy best friend is getting his own chance to shine with the spin-off, The Patrick Star Show.
Nickelodeon and the 'SpongeBob SquarePants' Instagram account made the announcement on Thursday:
Viewers will get 13 episodes of the new series, so what can we expect?
A slightly younger version of the iconic starfish. According to Nickelodeon’s description, it will be a different format from the original series, all while keeping the same silliness that makes Patrick such a great character. Nickelodeon calls it a “family sitcom” that will feature the whole Star clan. The family is “constantly disrupted by Patrick’s wild whims and surreal imagination”.
The show will also pull from another classic TV format.
The Patrick Star Show follows a younger Patrick Star living at home with his family, where he hosts his own show for the neighborhood from his television-turned-bedroom. His little sister, Squidina, works behind the scenes to make sure Patrick’s show is always running smoothly, while his parents, Bunny and Cecil and his grandpa, GrandPat, each support Patrick in their own hilariously absurd ways. The Star family’s unpredictable adventures often inform, integrate, and sometimes even interfere with Patrick’s TV show, but one thing is for sure: his bizarre life always makes for great television!
We are so excited!
