Does 'The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie' Take Place After Every Episode of 'SpongeBob SquarePants'? The Show's EP Sets The Record Straight

Ever since The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, the first theatrical movie based on Nickelodeon's hit animated comedy series SpongeBob SquarePants was released in 2004, fans have been speculating that the film serves as the series finale, taking place after every episode made before and after the movie. Now, long-time SpongeBob SquarePants executive producer Vincent Waller has confirmed whether the rumor is true or not!

In a series of Tweets, Waller has confirmed that the rumor is false, and that The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie has never been officially thought of as the show's series finale!:

Never was

Waller went on to confirm that SpongeBob SquarePants has never really been officially chronological, that that he knows that it "breaks peoples’ brains":

When asked whether Stephen Hillenburg, the late creator of SpongeBob SquarePants ever mentioned anything about the first movie taking place after every episode, Waller said that he wasn't aware of Hillenburg ever saying anything like that along those lines:

Not that i am aware
