Building on the success of The Thundermans Return, which premiered ranking as cable’s #1 entertainment telecast of the year with kids, Nickelodeon Studios today announced a spinoff based on characters from the hit live-action superhero comedy.
The spinoff series will follow Phoebe and Max, who are sent undercover to handle a new threat in the seaside town of Secret Shores and bring Chloe along to develop her superhero talent. Production on the show will begin in Vancouver in August, with premiere details to be announced at a later date.
In the brand-new series, Chloe forms a bond with two classmates while they investigate suspicious activity coming from the local school, who don’t realize their new friend has secret powers. As the danger increases, the Thunderman trio must stay in town indefinitely, leaving the squabbling twins in charge of raising their younger sister.
The spinoff show will star original series cast members Kira Kosarin as “Phoebe,” Jack Griffo as “Max,” and Maya Le Clark as “Chloe.” The show will also feature guest appearances from additional original series cast members.
The Thundermans Return premiered on Nickelodeon and Paramount+ earlier this year. The feature-length movie, based on the hit live-action superhero comedy series The Thundermans, follows the superpowered family as they attempt to live a normal life while using their superhuman abilities to stop crime.
The Thundermans Return is currently available to stream on Paramount+ in the U.S., Canada, Australia, the U.K., Latin America, Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
The Thundermans premiered on Nickelodeon in October 2013 and wrapped its four-season run in 2018.
Created and executive produced by three-time Emmy Award-winner Jed Spingarn, the scripted half-hour series follows superhero twins Phoebe and Max Thunderman, who have opposite personalities. They navigate school, friends, and a family of extraordinary superheroes while keeping their true identities a secret.
The series is executive produced by Jed Spingarn (Big Time Rush, Jimmy Neutron), Sean W. Cunningham, and Marc Dworkin (The Thundermans, Julie and the Phantoms). Kira Kosarin and Jack Griffo are also executive producers.
Production of the series for Nickelodeon Studios is overseen by Shauna Phelan, Head of Nickelodeon & Awesomeness Live-Action. Brian Banks serves as Nickelodeon’s Executive in Charge of Production.
