Nickelodeon Renews SpongeBob SquarePants for Season 15

Are ya ready, kids? Nickelodeon has officially renewed SpongeBob SquarePants through Season 15.

Per Variety , Nickelodeon has granted SpongeBob an early Season 15 renewal ahead of Season 14's premiere this November. Season 15 will consist of 26 episodes, which will bring the show to a grand total of 345 episodes.

SpongeBob SquarePants is Nickelodeon's longest-running cartoon

Created by the late Stephen Hillenburg, SpongeBob SquarePants premiered on Nickelodeon in May 1999. The animated series stars the voices of Tom Kenny , Bill Fagerbakke , Rodger Bumpass, Clancy Brown , Carolyn Lawrence, and Mr. Lawrence.

Since its debut nearly 25 years ago, SpongeBob has become a cornerstone of Nick's lineup, as well as a juggernaut of children's entertainment at large. In addition to its 13 seasons and counting, the show has spawned three theatrically-released feature films and two spin-off series. A fourth big-screen SpongeBob movie is in the works, as are three streaming-exclusive spin-off films.

It was in 2012 — during Season 8 — that SpongeBob became Nickelodeon's longest-running animated series in history. With the airing of its 173rd episode, the show broke the record previously held by Rugrats — and has only padded its lead in the decade-plus since.

SpongeBob SquarePants Seasons 1-12 are currently streaming on Paramount+ . Season 14 premieres on Nickelodeon in November.
