Spongebob Squarepants is Now on Cartoon Network (But Not How You Think)

For quite some time now, “SpongeBob SquarePants” has been a top-tier cartoon series broadcasted on Paramount’s cable network, part of Nickelodeon. As we speak, it’s in its sixteenth season, and a seventeenth is already lined up as the iconic fry cook continues to embark on even more bizarre escapades. Previously available on platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, an exciting crossover event has been announced – SpongeBob will be making a move to Cartoon Network! You might find it intriguing to hear that the underwater town of Bikini Bottom somehow ended up gracing the Warner Bros channel.

In an unexpected turn of events, it appears I’ve stumbled upon news that Cartoon Network South Korea has somehow secured the rights to air Spongebob Squarepants, starting with its ninth season. They’re promising even more episodes in the future! Additionally, they’ve announced the arrival of My Adventures With Superman and Teen Titans Go in a fresh new commercial. The rationale behind this daring decision, not yet confirmed, may be linked to Nickelodeon’s closure in South Korea back in 2022. Without Nickelodeon, Spongebob had been left without a home in South Korea, but fortunately, Cartoon Network seems to have extended a lifeline to our beloved sponge. You can watch the commercial confirming this exciting change below.

Simultaneously with the debut of a fresh show on Cartoon Network South Korea, Spongebob has a lot to be joyful about in various aspects. In the latest episodes of the animated series, Squarepants finally realized his long-held dream of obtaining a driver’s license. However, there was a condition: he earned it abroad and later expressed a desire to give it back due to his driving abilities not meeting expectations. This week, even more exciting news for the frycook surfaced, as his upcoming movie role was announced.

They rebranded “NickToons” to “NickSpongebob” and marked the debut of its sixteenth season with a celebration that few other animated series have experienced. Despite having numerous tales in its history, Spongebob Squarepants doesn’t seem to be losing steam any time soon.
