The series' first 13-episode season will premiere in July.

Nickelodeon also released the first teaser trailer for Patrick's solo series on Monday. In the 30-second spot, Patrick exclaims that he has found his "true porpoise," before the trailer dives into a montage of clips from the forthcoming series while showcasing the show's many fun-loving characters.

The Patrick Star Show is executive produced by Marc Ceccarelli, Vincent Waller and Jennie Monica, who all previously worked together on SpongeBob SquarePants, Variety reported.

The show marks the second SpongeBob spin-off following Paramount+'s Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, which hit the streaming platform earlier this year.
