Netflix was founded by Marc Randolph and Reed Hastings on August 29, 1997, in Scotts Valley, California as a mail-based rental business.
The Netflix service was launched by Netflix, Inc. on January 16, 2007.
In 2009, Netflix was granted the rights to distribute SpongeBob SquarePants until 2013, when the show was pulled from the service because the distribution license expired and Netflix did not want to renew it.[1]
In July 2020, Netflix acquired international distribution rights to The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run, excluding the United States, Canada, and China as that movie was released on Netflix on November 5, 2020.
On September 27, 2022, a Netflix port of SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-Off named SpongeBob: Get Cooking was released on the Netflix platform and requires a Netflix subscription to play.[2][3][4]
Two SpongeBob SquarePants spin-off movies, Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie and Plankton: The Movie, were released exclusively on Netflix on August 2, 2024 and March 7, 2025, respectively.[5]
On September 17, 2024, Netflix released the mobile game SpongeBob: Bubble Pop, which requires a Netflix subscription to play.[6]
