Netflix is gearing up for the release of Plankton: The Movie, a 3D animated musical comedy set to premiere on March 7, 2025. This latest addition to the SpongeBob SquarePants universe marks the streaming giant’s second spin-off from the beloved series, following last year’s Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie. Directed by Dave Needham and written by Kaz, Chris Viscardi, and Mr. Lawrence, Plankton: The Movie follows the ambitious Plankton as his latest world-domination plot spirals out of control, largely due to his sentient computer wife, Karen, who takes matters into her own hands.
The film is a musical adventure with a mischievous tone, enhanced by a lively soundtrack composed by Mahuia Bridgman-Cooper. A mix of humor, action, and heartfelt moments is promised as the movie delves into the evolving dynamics between Plankton and Karen, with the fate of Bikini Bottom hanging in the balance.

Fans of the SpongeBob SquarePants series will recognize many familiar voices in the cast. Mr. Lawrence returns to voice the film’s villainous yet lovable Plankton, bringing depth and nuance to the character he has portrayed for years.
