SpongeThorne is an animated supernatural mystery spin-off created by as a spin-off to the long-running show .
The show airs on PI Network, Jasbre Two and Bubblegum TV and streams on Cut-Out.
== Synopsis ==
In the mysterious town of SpongeThorne, Hoopla is a struggling paranormal investigator and founder of PISS (Paranormal Investigators of the Strange and Supernatural) trying to uncover the secrets hidden from the public eye.
== Production ==
The series was announced on April 25, 2020 after was looking to develop a series with an overarching storyline. She eventually settled on the concept of Hoopla working as a ghost hunter. Hoopla was chosen as the main protagonist as a recognisable character on the wiki as a time, which would help people jump into the story. However, he is portrayed differently than in most spin-offs, being a less goofy take on the character (the first episode implies his appearance in Krusty Krab Training Video was when he was a kid). The character of Temmie (who was previously used as in her first spin-off SpongeBob n' Stuff) was added to give Hoopla a loveable less-serious sidekick, and to mock Polar's old shows. The show also borrows elements from userfics, with many minor characters sharing names and attributes with users on the wiki.
 was cast as Hoopla with returning to reprise Temmie from SpongeBob n' Stuff (though the character is a separate entity). was cast as new character Dave, a teenage ghost and former intern at The Krusty Krab. Other regular voice actors include , , and . All voice actors from also reprise their roles.
 joined the crew the next day and PI green-lit two seasons. Early drafts of season one's story began that same day. Jasbre Corp. became interested in the series and a deal began between the two companies for Jasbre Two to air reruns. This partnership further continued when Pen and Ink Animation accepted the offer to provide the show's animation, making it the first show in the Box Productions ecosystem to have animation provided by an outside company (I think, I'm not fact-checking).
Following the delay of SBFW Crossing's fourth episode, Redd Army, the show's pilot episode was pushed forward to take up its slot and SpongeThorne officially premiered on May 1st 2020, twenty-one years after SpongeBob's pilot premiered at the 1999 Kids' Choice Awards. The same day, PrimitiveSponge129 joined the crew.
Previously produced in-house at PI, on June 8th 2020 the show's production was moved over to Coral Blue Productions, though the intellectual property is still currently owned by PI.
