‘SpongeBob SquarePants Presents The Tidal Zone’ Crossover Coming Early 2023

Nickelodeon’s upcoming special follows GrandPat through three dimensions covering the animated series ‘SpongeBob SquarePants,’ ‘The Patrick Star Show,’ and ‘Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years.’

Nickelodeon will take viewers on a multidimensional adventure deep below the ocean’s surface throughout Bikini Bottom with the first-ever SpongeBob Universe crossover special, SpongeBob SquarePants Presents The Tidal Zone, slated to debut early 2023. The one-hour special encompasses all three animated series within the SpongeBob Universe - SpongeBob SquarePantsThe Patrick Star Show, and the Paramount+ original series Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years - and follows GrandPat (The Patrick Star Show) as he makes his way through each dimension.  

According to Nick, SpongeBob SquarePants Presents The Tidal Zone is a journey into an hour of television where two dimensions can become three, and French divers can wear black ties. Observe a tale of both comedy and caution, of satire and stupidity. Minds may switch, bodies may shrink, and robots may rise in… “The Tidal Zone.”

Since its launch July 17, 1999, SpongeBob SquarePants - the series that chronicles the nautical and sometimes nonsensical adventures of SpongeBob, an incurable optimist and earnest sea sponge, and his undersea friends - has reigned as the most-watched animated series for nearly 20 consecutive years. The show has generated a universe of beloved characters, pop culture catchphrases and memes, theatrical releases, consumer products, a Tony award-winning Broadway musical and a global fan base spread over more than 170 countries.

SpongeBob SquarePants was created by Stephen Hillenburg and is produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank, California.
