Person
Brian Robbins (born November 22, 1963; age 61) is an American actor, director, producer, and occasional screenwriter. In 2018, he became the current president of Paramount Global's Nickelodeon division. He replaced Cyma Zarghami, who had worked at Nick for most of her career since 1985. Since his hiring, Robbins has managed various promotions for the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise.
Unhappy that SpongeBob "always stayed the same,"[1] Robbins and several staff members of the show came up with multiple ideas for spin-off shows and new characters. He announced the first, Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, in June 2019, just months after the passing of series creator Stephen Hillenburg.[2]

In February 2019, Robbins announced that the network would produce multiple spin-off shows of the SpongeBob series, the first being a show about a younger version SpongeBob at summer camp called Kamp Koral.[3]
