An exclusive clip reveal of the upcoming movie, Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie, available August 2 on Netflix. In the clip, Sandy and SpongeBob’s pursuit to save the denizens of Bikini Bottom turns into a police pursuit, as the Cheeks family (voiced by Craig Robinson, Johnny Knoxville and Grey DeLisle) takes them along for the ride on a high-speed car chase.

Cucumber, Larry the Lobster, Mrs. Puff and more. In “Kreepaway Kamp,” while at Kamp Koral for a reunion, SpongeBob and the gang are stalked by a mysterious figure lurking in the shadows as campers start disappearing one by one! The special is coming this fall to Nickelodeon and Paramount+.
 
Veteran voice cast Tom Kenny (SpongeBob), Bill Fagerbakke (Patrick), Rodger Bumpass (Squidward), Clancy Brown (Mr. Krabs) conducted a live table read of the beloved 1999 pilot episode SpongeBob SquarePants, “Help Wanted,” where SpongeBob tries to get a job as a fry cook at The Krusty Krab restaurant.
