Fans got an exciting first glimpse during Nickelodeon’s panel at New York Comic Con, where the network celebrated the beloved series’ 25th anniversary.

This half-hour festive adventure promises to be a delightful treat for viewers of all ages.

But that’s not all—Nickelodeon also announced the renewal of ‘The Patrick Star Show’, a spinoff of the original ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’, for not just one but two additional seasons (Seasons 4 and 5). This news thrilled fans, who have come to adore Patrick’s hilarious antics.
