Nickelodeon Studios has given the green light for “The Thundermans Return,” a feature-length film based on the 2013 live-action superhero comedy series “The Thundermans” with the original series cast returning.
The movie will follow the superpowered family as they begin a new era of superhero crime fighting. Events take place after the four-season series which ran for 103 episodes and wrapped its run in May 2018.
In the movie, twins Phoebe (Kira Kosarin) and Max (Jack Griffo) are enjoying their superhero lifestyle, but when one ‘save’ goes awry, the Thundermans are sent back to Hiddenville.
While Hank (Chris Tallman) and Barb (Rosa Blasi) enjoy their return, and Billy (Diego Velazquez) and Nora (Addison Riecke) look forward to a normal high school life, Max and Phoebe are determined to regain their superhero status.
Show favorites, new villains and familiar locations are all present in the film which will begin shooting in Los Angeles in April with premiere details to be announced at a later date.
The film will be written and executive produced by Jed Spingarn (“Big Time Rush”) and directed by Trevor Kirschner (“The Conners”)
The original show has seen a resurgence in interest following its launch in late 2021 on streaming platforms – becoming the top title across all SVOD for the quarter among Kids 6-11 for that quarter and the staying high up there through all of last year according to Nickelodeon.
