SpongeBob SquarePants has reigned as the most-watched animated series since its launch on July 17, 1999, spawning a global franchise that includes spinoff series on Paramount+, theatrical movies, consumer products and a Tony-winning Broadway musical.

SpongeBob SquarePants was created by the late Stephen Hillenburg and is produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank. The character-driven cartoon chronicles the nautical and sometimes nonsensical adventures of SpongeBob, an incurable optimist and earnest sea sponge, and his undersea friends.

Marc Ceccarelli and Vincent Waller are executive producers of SpongeBob SquarePants and offshoots, The Patrick Star Show and Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years. Production is overseen by Nickelodeon’s Claudia Spinelli, SVP Animation for Big Kids, and Kelley Gardner, VP Current Series, Animation.
