Viacom has renewed its animation series, SpongeBob SquarePants on Nickelodeon (DStv 305) for a 13th season with 13 episodes.
In a press release Viacom says that the 13th season of SpongeBob SquarePants will reunite the original voice cast members Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick Star), Rodger Bumpass (Squidward), Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs), Carolyn Lawrence (Sandy Cheeks) and Mr. Lawrence (Plankton), as well as the current showrunners Vince Waller and Marc Ceccarelli.
SpongeBob SquarePants is created by Stephen Hillenburg and is produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank, California in the United States.
The 13th season pickup comes after Nickelodeon last month commissioned a Kamp Koral animation spin-off series, and celebrated the 20th anniversary of SpongeBob Squarepants with a SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout TV special.
