Are you ready, kids? Nickelodeon just released a sneak peek of “The Patrick Star Show,” the second nautical and nonsensical spinoff of Stephen Hillenburg’s highly meme-able “SpongeBob SquarePants.”
The new 13-episode series is described as a sitcom starring the tubby, pink titular protagonist with Bill Fagerbakke returning to voice the role and the rest of the Star family as they get constantly disrupted by Patrick’s wild whims and surreal imagination. The prequel follows a younger Patrick living at home with his family, where he hosts his own variety show for the neighborhood for his TV-turned-bedroom. Produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio, “The Patrick Star Show” will debut this July on Nickelodeon. Its CG-spinoff predecessor, “Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years,” debuted earlier this year on Paramount

Brian Robbins walked into a meeting where executives were deciding whether kids-media giant Nickelodeon should pick up “SpongeBob SquarePants” for a twelfth cycle, and asked what he thought was a simple question: With so many characters populating the underwater city of Bikini Bottom, how come the network had never created any spin-offs?
