On August 10th, 2020, Deadline reported^[2] that Nickelodeon was "finalizing deals for The Patrick Star Show. The show will run for 13 episodes in its first season. Bill Fagerbakke will voice Patrick on the series. They write:

According to sources, The Patrick Star Show is in the vein of The Larry Sanders Show and Comedy Bang! Bang!, with Patrick (Fagerbakke) hosting his own late-night talk show. I hear the series would revolve around Patrick and his family. Fagerbakke is being joined by a largely new cast voicing new characters, with SpongeBob cast members expected to make occasional appearances, reprising their roles.

I ain’t gonna watch the spinoff, but I’m sure it could never deliver gold like this" (shown below, center). Twitter^[9] user @Animated_Antic tweeted, "Well, Nick is making a new SpongeBob spinoff called The Patrick Star Show. I'll just say this about it. They couldn't have announced this show at a worse time if you know what's been going on with Nick and their properties."
