Well, it's about time we got new SpongeBob episodes.

[WinterArcanine 911]

Hyped for season 12 to still not be finished three years after it started

[Squidward 2]

If the episodes premiere once every few months like this, season 12 might surpass season 9 as the longest running season.

Turns out we have more episodes in April:

Friday, April 16th:

7:00pm EDT: Under the Small Top (269a) - Squidward's house becomes infested with a mail-order flea circus meant for SpongeBob.

7:15pm EDT: Squidward's Sick Daze (269b) - Squidward fakes being sick to get out of work, but his agony only begins when SpongeBob arrives to care for him.

This will be the second pair of episodes from Season 13. This is also the first time sine 2019 we have more than one premiere in a month.

And they can't finish airing Season 12 first?

And they can't finish airing Season 12 first?

They've had to slowly air out what episodes are available on standby, because according to several reliable sources, they don't have many episodes of Season 13 finished at the moment due to juggling the teams between spin-offs and thus, they had a temporary production hiatus on the main show last year. (Covid restrictions and having to adjust to working from home also played a part) We've essentially silently been in another S3 and S9 schedule situation ever since late 2019. It's annoying for sure, but they probably wanted to avoid another year long hiatus like 2014 had if they aired S12 too fast; not that I think this way is ideal either but regardless it was a lose-lose situation. With that said, the crew has returned to Burbank recently, so their output might speed up over the next few months, but I still wouldn't expect consistent premieres of the main show for a few more months. 

Whether if they'll actually air Kwarantined Krab and Hiccup Plague anytime soon is another matter.
