Nickelodeon NOT Currently Working on New 'SpongeBob' Spin-Off Featuring Squidward

SpongeBob SquarePants executive producer Vincent Waller has confirmed on Twitter that Nickelodeon isn't currently producing a music-based SpongeBob SquarePants spin-off centered on Squidward Tentacles - however, he doesn't completely rule out a Squidward spin-off in the future:


Waller also addressed the rumor that Stephen Hillenburg, the late creator of SpongeBob SquarePants, purportedly didn't want the beloved animated series to have any spin-offs:


The news comes as Nickelodeon is preparing to bow the network's first SpongeBob SquarePants spin-off, Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years.

Although there are currently no plans for a Squidward spin-off, Nickelodeon is reportedly producing two feature-length SpongeBob spin-off movies for Netflix.

The CG-animated prequel (13 episodes) follows 10-year-old SpongeBob during his summer at sleepaway camp and stars Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick Star), Rodger Bumpass (Squidward), Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs), Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy Cheeks) and Mr. Lawrence (Plankton), all of whom are reprising their iconic roles in this new series.

Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years will also feature returning SpongeBob SquarePants voice cast members Mary Jo Catlett (Mrs. Puff), Jill Talley (Karen) and Lori Alan (Pearl), among others. Additionally, Carlos Alazraqui (Rocko's Modern Life, The Casagrandes) and Kate Higgins (Blaze and the Monster Machines) will join the cast as new characters Nobby and Narlene, narwhal siblings who live in the woods surrounding the camp.

In the new series, SpongeBob and his pals spend the summer building underwater campfires, catching wild jellyfish, and swimming in Lake Yuckymuck at the craziest camp in the kelp forest, Kamp Koral.

Marc Ceccarelli and Vincent Waller (SpongeBob SquarePants) serve as co-executive producers on Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years, which is produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank.
