SpongeBob is returning to the big screen with a brand-new adventure, and this time he’s going deeper than ever before. The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants from Paramount Pictures is set to release on December 19, 2025, promising an all-new, ocean-spanning story for fans of every age.
According to official details, the movie follows SpongeBob as he tries to prove his bravery to Mr. Krabs. Determined to show he’s more than just a fry cook, he joins The Flying Dutchman, a ghost pirate known for his mischievous and mysterious ways, on a wild seafaring mission. Along the way, SpongeBob and his Bikini Bottom friends face hilarious new challenges in the deepest parts of the ocean.
The film stars Tom Kenny as SpongeBob, alongside Clancy Brown, Rodger Bumpass, Bill Fagerbakke, Carolyn Lawrence, and Mr. Lawrence reprising their iconic roles. The cast also features George Lopez, Ice Spice, Arturo Castro, Sherry Cola, Regina Hall, and Mark Hamill, bringing a mix of comedy and star power to the underwater adventure.
Directed by Derek Drymon and produced by Lisa Stewart, Pam Brady, and Aaron Dem, the movie is rated PG for rude humor, some thematic elements, and mild language.
As of now, this information is based on what’s been officially released by the studio. We haven’t seen the movie yet and don’t claim to have. But from what’s known so far, The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants looks like it’s going to be a fun, heartfelt return to the kind of humor and creativity that made the franchise a global favorite.
Mark your calendars, SpongeBob and the Bikini Bottom gang are set to sail back into theaters this December, ready to make another splash.
