Everything We Know About SpongeBob SquarePants 4

The adventures of SpongeBob SquarePants continue not only on TV but also on the big screen as SpongeBob and friends are getting a fourth movie – and here’s everything you need to know about it. Nickelodeon has been home to a variety of cartoon shows, and while there have been many successful ones, few have had the impact of SpongeBob SquarePants. Created by Stephen Hillenburg, SpongeBob SquarePants premiered in 1999 and has been unstoppable ever since, with over 10 seasons and branching out to other media, creating a franchise.

SpongeBob SquarePants takes viewers to the bottom of the ocean, specifically to the underwater city of Bikini Bottom, to meet the title character and his friends. SpongeBob always gets involved in all types of trouble around town, and he’s accompanied by his best friends Patrick Star and Sandy Cheeks, his neighbor Squidward Tentacles, and his greedy boss Mr. Krabs. The adventures of SpongeBob have gone beyond the TV screens of generations of viewers and have expanded to video games, comic books, movies, and spinoff TV shows, and will continue to do so with a fourth movie and more.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

SpongeBob’s first big-screen adventure, simply titled The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, was released in 2004, and while it was initially planned to be the series finale, its success made way for two more movies: The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water and The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run. Now, Paramount has announced a fourth SpongeBob SquarePants movie as well as more spinoff movies, and here’s everything you need to know about SpongeBob’s next adventure on the big screen.

SpongeBob SquarePants 4 Is Happening (& Will Release In Theaters)

The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run was released in March 2021 and was well-received by critics, so it wasn’t surprising that talks about a fourth movie began shortly after. A fourth SpongeBob SquarePants movie was confirmed to be in development in February 2022, and unlike Sponge on the Run, which was released on video on demand and Paramount+ due to the coronavirus pandemic, the plan for the new movie is to release it in theaters.

SpongeBob SquarePants 4’s Story: What Will The Sequel Be About?

The SpongeBob SquarePants movies don’t follow a narrative, so instead of being sequels, they are standalone stories. As such, each movie has had a different story, though all of them with the message of “power and bravery comes from within” (after all, these are movies aimed at a young audience). With that in mind, it’s impossible to predict what the story of SpongeBob SquarePants 4 will be, as it could deal with literally anything – the Krabby Patty’s secret formula, Plankton’s evil plans, a character being kidnapped or turning evil, etc.

SpongeBob SquarePants 4 Release Date

It’s unknown how far into pre-production SpongeBob SquarePants 4 is as well as if it will have one animation style or more, if it will mix in live-action again, and other aspects that could make production take more time. If the production of SpongeBob SquarePants 4 doesn’t encounter any obstacles during filming and before its release, the fourth SpongeBob SquarePants movie could see the light sometime in 2023.

What Other SpongeBob SquarePants Movies Are Happening

In addition to SpongeBob SquarePants 4, Paramount announced there will be three spinoff movies focused on three characters from Bikini Bottom, though who these will be is unknown. It’s also unclear if one of those is the Sandy Cheeks-centered movie announced in May 2021 and later titled Saving Bikini Bottom or if this one is considered a separate project. The first of these spinoff movies is scheduled to release in 2023, and while there are many characters these movies could focus on, the safest bets would be Squidward, Patrick, and Mr. Krabs.
