Many of us grew up watching SpongeBob SquarePants and our favourite yellow sponge’s best friend is confirmed to be getting a spinoff series of his own!
 


 

Nickelodeon has officially green-lighted the spinoff series focusing on Patrick Star and his entire family!
 
“Nickelodeon is diving deeper into Bikini Bottom to give fans a look at our lovable young adult Patrick Star and his entire family with a sitcom only he could imagine up,” said president of Nickelodeon Animation, Ramsey Naito.
 


 

“This second original spinoff allows us to expand our reach, tell new stories and connect with our audience around the world who continue to love these characters.”
 
The spinoff series will be making its debut with 13 episodes on Nickelodeon in summer this year and the series tells the story of a young Patrick Star as he lives at home with his family and proceeds to host his own makeshift TV show with the help of his loved ones.
 


 

New characters that will be introduced include:
 
Cecil Star: Patrick’s fun-loving, happy-go-lucky dad who always puts his family first.
 
Bunny Star: Patrick’s loving, sea star mom who is a kooky oddball
 
Squidina Star: Patrick’s eight-year-old sister who sees herself as Patrick’s executive
producer for his imaginary TV show.
 
GrandPat Star: Patrick’s genius grandpa, the most intelligent member of the Star family.
 
The spinoff series will have appearances from Tom Kenny as SpongeBob, Rodger Bumpass as Squidward, Carolyn Lawrence as Sandy, Clancy Brown as Mr. Krabs, and Mr. Lawrence as Plankton.
