New SpongeBob-Themed Attraction Coming to Nickelodeon Universe Mall of America In 2027

The perfect place for your annual Talk Like a Pirate Day celebration arrives in March.

A new SpongeBob SquarePants-themed attraction is taking shape at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minneapolis.

Dutchman’s Deck will open in March 2027, inspired by the Flying Dutchman, the ghostly villain of Nickelodeon's beloved animated series, and the antagonist of 2025's The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants.

The new attraction is taking up residence in the space formerly occupied by the similarly themed ropes course, Dutchman’s Deck Ropes Course, at Nickelodeon Universe.

When completed, the Dutchman’s Deck will feature five towers, seven bridges, two slides, interactive games, and tunnels on a course that rises 55 feet above the park just across from the SpongeBob SquarePants Rock Bottom Plunge roller coaster.

There will also be four Nickelodeon-themed birthday party rooms inside the Dutchman’s Deck area, according to an announcement from the mall. 

After it opens, it’ll be part of the standard wristband experience at the theme park, as opposed to costing an extra fee, as is the case with attractions like FlyOver America and the 5D Extreme Attraction in the mall’s central space.

So, you’ve got your plans sorted for Talk Like a Pirate Day on Sept. 19, 2027.


All-new Dutchman’s Deck attraction sets sail inside Nickelodeon Universe at Mall of America for Spring Break 2027

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — Argh! Prepared to be ghostified! Mall of America is bringing an all-new adventure to Nickelodeon Universe with the opening of Dutchman’s Deck, a towering new play experience inspired by the Flying Dutchman, SpongeBob SquarePants’ legendary ghostly pirate and main antagonist of the recent The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants. Opening in March 2027, the attraction will give kids a new way to climb, explore and play high above the theme park.

Dutchman’s Deck packs five towers, seven bridges and two slides into multiple levels of adventure. Kids can crawl through tunnels, explore interactive features and find plenty of ways to climb and swing.

“Dutchman’s Deck gives kids a place to stay active, spark their imaginations and have fun,” said Jill Renslow, Chief Business Development & Marketing Officer at Mall of America. “From climbing and exploring to racing down the slides, there’s something to discover around every corner. We can’t wait for families to set out on an adventure and experience it for themselves.”

Standing at nearly 55 feet high, Dutchman’s Deck brings the Flying Dutchman’s ghostly ship to life, complete with a crow’s nest, lookout towers and seafaring-themed play elements on every level. Lighting and underwater effects will add to the experience and make Dutchman’s Deck a colorful addition to the theme park.

Interactive games and musical play features keep young swabbies busy, with activities sized just right for the littlest buccaneers. Four Nickelodeon brand-themed birthday party rooms inside Dutchman’s Deck let families celebrate their big day on board while enjoying Nickelodeon Universe.

Dutchman’s Deck will be part of the Nickelodeon Universe wristband experience, with admission beginning at six points.

SpongeBob & Gary, Dora the Explorer and Marshall from 'PAW Patrol' to Take Part In the 100th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

Nickelodeon will kick off the holiday season in high-flying style when elements showcasing popular characters from Nickelodeon’s hit animated series SpongeBob SquarePants, PAW Patrol and DORA take center stage at the 100th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade® on Thursday, Nov. 26.

SpongeBob SquarePants and his beloved pet snail, Gary, will once again soar above the New York City skyline Thanksgiving morning. This optimistic sea sponge is all smiles as he returns for his 22nd appearance ready for some F.U.N. with his pet snail Gary.

Joining SpongeBob and Gary the Snail will be Marshall, the heroic firefighter dalmatian pup from PAW Patrol, produced by Spin Master Entertainment. This lovable pup is sure to save the day and delight live spectators and viewers across the country.

Dora, the first Latina character to ever appear in the Parade, and her friends, including Boots, Map and Backpack, will also return, bringing the wonders and fun of the rainforest to the streets of New York with DORA’s Fantastical Rainforest, a vibrant, eye-catching float and balloon hybrid element.

Also returning to the Parade after making their debut last last year will be Gabby & Pandy Paws from DreamWorks Animation's hit series, Gabby's Dollhouse.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a big Nickelodeon franchise missing from the 2026 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade:  the iconic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. At the time of posting, their vibrant multilevel float inspired by the hit animated series Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles., is currently not listed to be making an appearance in this year's Parade. This may change closer to the day of the Parade.

Speaking of missing franchises in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, isn't it time that Ghostbusters had a presence in the Parade? A Slimer or Mr. Stay Puft balloon or a Gozer's Temple float would be perfect!

The 100th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will air Thursday, Nov. 26 at 8:30 a.m. ET (in all time zones) in the U.S. on NBC and stream on Peacock. Check local listings for details. For more information, visit macys.com/parade. To follow and participate in the excitement, check out @macys on various social platforms and follow #MacysParade.

Find out more about Nickelodeon's balloons and floats in the 100th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade below!

Nielsen Animation Day 2026 Reports Highlights Key Cartoon TV & Streaming Trends

Animation fans can measure their viewing habits against the most popular titles with the help of the new Nielsen animation TV & streaming report, “Drawn to Watch: Animation’s Hit Makers,” released timed to International Animation Day (October 28). From Bikini Bottom to Quahog, the survey reveals what folks watched in the 2025-26 season across broadcast and streaming (which accounted for 58% of the minutes viewed for the 15 most-watched series), and the creative voices and characters that draw them back again and again.

Nielsen's special Animation Day 2026 report shows the most-watched toons include 'SpongeBob SquarePants,' 'Family Guy,' 'South Park,' 'Bob's Burgers' and 'Bluey'
Nielsen's special Animation Day 2026 report shows the most-watched toons include 'SpongeBob SquarePants,' 'Family Guy,' 'South Park,' 'Bob's Burgers' and 'Bluey' | Composite by Animation Magazine.

Per the report, the 15 most-watched animated series are:

  1. SpongeBob SquarePants — 70.6 billion minutes viewed
  2. Bluey — 68B min.
  3. Family Guy — 65.4B min.
  4. South Park — 44.5B min.
  5. Bob’s Burgers — 43B min.
  6. PAW Patrol — 42.7B min.
  7. The Simpsons — 28B min.
  8. American Dad! — 24.8B min.
  9. Big City Greens — 22.5B min.
  10. Spidey and His Amazing Friends — 20.7B min.
  11. Rick and Morty — 20.6B min.
  12. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse / Clubhouse+ — 20.3B min.
  13. Peppa Pig — 18.9B min.
  14. The Loud House — 15.4B min.
  15. Futurama — 14.5B min.

Nielsen Animation big three

Seth MacFarlane emerged as the most-watched animation creator, with 92.7 billion minutes combined across Family Guy, American Dad! and The Cleveland Show. These adult comedy titles are chased up by kids’ (and kids at hearts’) favorites from Stephen Hillenburg, whose SpongeBob SquarePants and its spinoffs remain a swimming success with 73B minutes. Nipping at SpongeBob’s heels is Australian hit Bluey, securing the No. 3 creator’s spot for Joe Brumm with 71.5B minutes.

The output of these three creatives collectively logged 237.2B minutes watched over the 2025-26 TV season, more than the next five creators on the list combined (202.1 billion). Among the 15 most-watched animated series, 44% of all minutes came from the “big three’s” shows. Nielsen’s list also includes Keith Chapman (PAW Patrol), Trey Parker & Matt Stone (South Park), Matt Groening (The Simpsons, Futurama), Loren Bouchard (Bob’s Burgers) and Chris & Shane Houghton (Big City Greens).

Classic franchises touched by many creative hands also remained strong, with Mickey Mouse titles racking up 30.7B minutes viewed. Hanna-Barbera classics like The Flintstones (18.5B min.), Looney Tunes (16.3B min.) and Scooby-Doo (16B min.) also performed exceptionally well across their catalogs.

Nielsen Animation age groups

When it comes to generational preferences, Kids 2-17 account for 29% of the minutes watched for the Top 15 shows, viewers 18-34 for 28%, viewers 35-49 for 23% and viewers 50+ for 20%.  On linear TV (broadcast and cable), viewers 50+ drive 36% of the Top 15’s minutes. On streaming, kids (34%) and viewers 18-34 (35%) drove the numbers, with the 50+ accounting for just 9% of minutes watched across these toons.

Per the study, Peppa Pig leans youngest, with kids making up 59% of its minutes — adults account for the other 41%. Bluey splits almost exactly in half, at 51% kids and 49% adults, including 14% from viewers 50+, signally strong co-viewing appeal for these shows. South Park is the oldest-skewing show in the Top 15, drawing 42.3% of its minutes from viewers 50+ and kids viewing just 5% of its minutes (time to check those parental controls…). And The Simpsons is the most evenly balanced, with every age group between 17% and 34%. SpongeBob, launched as a kids’ show in 1999, gets 47.9% of its minutes from adults 18-49 today.

Big John’s Bosh! Family | 6-Episode Unscripted Series
Premieres: November 5 (US/Canada/Australia/LatAm/Brazil)
The series follows internet sensation John “Big John” Fisher and his wife Charlotte, the heart and backbone of the Fisher household, alongside their children, including rising boxing star Johnny “The Romford Bull”, city boy William, and their youngest and only daughter, Hetty. Not forgetting ‘Fat Nan’ and ‘Skinny Nan.’

Across six episodes, Big John’s Bosh! Family throws open the doors to the wonderfully chaotic world of Big John and the Fisher clan. Juggling viral fame, family milestones, and fresh adventures, the family’s life is anything but ordinary.

With big characters, bigger laughs, and plenty of surprises along the way, including appearances from celebrity friends Joe Marler, Eddie Hearn, Dana White, and Joey Essex, the series offers an unfiltered glimpse into the chaos, comedy, and heart that have turned Big John and the Fishers into an international phenomenon.

It Gets Worse | 6-Episode Scripted Series
Premieres: November 6 (US/LatAm/Brazil/Italy)
Created and written by star Leo Reich, It Gets Worse follows Ethan, Abi, and Sam. Best friends from uni, soulmates for life, and dysfunctional roommates. It’s been a year since they finally managed to move to London; they have collectively accomplished nothing, and now their landlord is selling up. They’re getting kicked out.

What now? Can they keep their friendships alive when they are dispersed across a city that seems to want them dead? Can they find a six out of ten or higher to have bad sex with? Can they get their shit together when the world is so obviously falling apart? Probably not. But they’re going to have fun trying.

It Gets Worse is a show about three young people who are starting to look around themselves — at their humiliating jobs, their non-existent love lives and their rapidly dwindling will to live — and think: wait. Wait, wait, WAIT. Surely it gets better than this? It has to get better than this. Right? Spoiler alert! It doesn’t.

The Jigsaw Puzzle Murder | 2-Episode Paramount+ Documentary
Premieres: November 12
Officers from Greater Manchester Police are called to woodland on the edge of Salford – to a scene that will haunt even the most experienced among them. Partially concealed and wrapped tightly in cellophane is a dismembered human torso.

With no DNA match, no witnesses, no murder weapon and no obvious suspect at the scene, detectives open a murder investigation with almost nothing. As news breaks, Salford is thrust into the center of a national media storm – a city unsettled by the knowledge a killer is still at large.

New suspects emerge. Digital and forensic analysis reveal startling new information and the relationship between killer and victim is pulled into sharp focus. And then, across Greater Manchester, more body parts are discovered.

He Said, She Said: Till Death Do Us Part | 3-Episode Paramount+ Documentary
Premieres: November 17 (US/Canada)
The documentary follows a no-holds-barred custody battle between two high-powered lawyers, which extends beyond the courtroom into social media and the court of public opinion. In this trial by internet, the case goes viral as the public takes sides, ignoring the complexities of a troubled marriage.

Yellowjackets Season 4 | Final Season | Showtime Original Series*
Premieres: November 20
Logline: Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, Yellowjackets is the saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls’ soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness.

Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror, and coming-of-age drama, the series chronicles their descent from a complicated yet thriving team to savage clans while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later. It proves that the past is never really the past and what began in the wilderness is far from over.

The JLO Show | CBS and Paramount+ Special
Premieres: November 26
Live concert recording of global superstar Jennifer Lopez’s “The JLO Show: Live in Las Vegas” residency.

The special celebrates more than two decades of Jennifer Lopez’s chart-topping music, with show-stopping reinterpretations of her career-defining hits including “Waiting for Tonight,” “Jenny from the Block,” “Love Don’t Cost a Thing,” “Get Right,” “On the Floor” and “Let’s Get Loud,” alongside contemporary pop favorites, beloved Broadway standards and special nods to legendary Las Vegas entertainers, showcasing Lopez’s range, artistry and unmistakable star power.
