Production
In October 2019, it was announced that Paramount Home Media Distribution and Nickelodeon Movies is producing a direct-to-DVD SpongeBob movie, with the original cast set to reprise their roles.

However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the film paused production and was later produced in quarantine by the cast and crew. The plan to release this film on DVD was also scrapped, as at the time, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run was not released yet due to the pandemic.

Things changed when on August 21, 2021, Nickelodeon announced plans to release the film onto the streaming service Netflix, following the release of The Loud House Movie. This however did not go through fruition, as the film was not present on the service on its set release date.

In February 2022, it was announced by Paramount that four SpongeBob spin-off films were set to release on Paramount+, with the inclusion of this film.

On March 17, 2022, Paramount announced that film will be released on Paramount+ on September 16, 2022, as the first of many SpongeBob films to be released on the service.
