==Production==
Production of NKC can be traced back to around September and October 2017, where SpongeBot started thinking of ideas for spin-offs. She originally had plans for the spin-off to be like a generic 90s sitcom but the idea was quickly scrapped.
In February 2018 around the time SpongeBot Entertainment was formed, Bot started more work on NKC. Bot teamed up with Chuck123456, known for creating Bubble Bass: The Show, Rocky Lobster, known for his work on Life in Bikini Bottom, and later on in production DanzxvFan8275, known for creating spin-offs such as Life in Bikini Bottom and FutureSponge!. During production, while Bot was interesting in adding a new character, came up with the character Rex, who was named after someone in a skype group accidentally called the ESB user RedBomb1, Rex.
SpongeBot officially confirmed the spin-off on February 16th 2018, she also confirmed the plot lines for some episodes.
The first episode "Welcome to New Kelp" aired on April 27th 2018 at midnight as part of Fox Nights' New Midnight block. The spin-off was heavily advertised before the first episode aired, this caused the pilot to be the most-viewed programme of the night however ratings were lower than normal due to the release of Avengers: Infinity War.
On July 26th, 2018 Rocky Lobster left the series due to the spin-off being inactive.
However, after interest for spin-off similar Life in Bikini Bottom, DanzxvFan8275 re-hired Rocky Lobster and gave him co-owner rights.
After over a year of inactivity, Bot released a new episode on February 5th of 2020, where Pearl Krabs gets infected with coronavirus. However, this episode and all the others would go on to get deleted, leaving Amazon Aletrick the only episode still readable.
In early 2022, Bot began looking into handing the series over to another user, to continue the series. While many expressed interest in ownership of the series, Bot eventually settled on giving the show to user Locknloaded23, who was well-known on the official SBFW server for being really damn weird. Bot officially handed Lock the show on January 12th of 2022, stating that she knew Lock would "write something hilarious", and she released her first episode, titled Rex's Rehab, on January 15th. Lock then announced that, including Rex's Rehab, 7 new episodes would be written for season 2 of the show.
Season 2 of the show wrapped up on February 20th of 2022, and Lock announced (as well as teased in the season finale) that the show would be getting a 3rd season, starring a new character.
