The news was shared at the end of last June but related to Netflix taking over, they couldn't answer yet.
Later, the broadcast of SpongeBob: Sponge on the Run can be watched by Netflix subscribers all over the world except China. But reported from Variety, reportedly Paramount still releases films theatrically in several countries.
The release date for the SpongeBob franchise on Netflix has yet to be released but this news means that fans don't have to wait until 2021 to see SpongeBob's latest story.
