SpongeBob has been renewed for Seasons 18 and 19, while spinoff The Patrick Star Show has been picked up for Seasons 6 and 7. Each show’s total order is for 26 half-hour episodes. “All four new seasons are currently in production. Season 18 of SpongeBob SquarePants and Season 6 of The Patrick Star Show are scheduled to premiere on Nickelodeon in Q4 2026, with Season 19 of SpongeBob and Season 7 of Patrick Star slated for 2027,” says Deadline’s Nellie Andreeva, adding: “The pickups and the cancellations fit into the programming shift after the Paramount-Skydance merger that prioritizes top franchises across the Paramount cable brands consolidated into a TV Media division overseen by Chair George Cheeks. He signaled the strategy in a memo last November that named both SpongeBob and PAW Patrol while hinting at a slimming down the roster of cable series.”
