‘The Patrick Star Show’ Renewed For Seasons 4 & 5 By Nickelodeon

deadline.com:

Nickelodeon has renewed animated series The Patrick Star Show for Seasons 4 and Season 5, each consisting of 13 episodes. If the news comes as a surprise for some who don’t remember the SpongeBob SquarePants spinoff being renewed for a third season, they are not wrong.

Originally picked up to series with a 26-episode order, The Patrick Star Show was renewed for a 26-episode second season in March 2022, halfway through its freshman run.

A decision was subsequently made to split the second installment into two seasons (2 and 3) to keep their sizes more consistent with the season lengths currently consumed on streaming where all shows ultimately end.

Today’s renewal, announced at the SpongeBob SquarePants NYCC panel, matches the timing and the size of the previous one — it too is for 26 episodes total and comes halfway through the run of the previously picked up 26 episodes.
